On this episode, we’re bringing you a clip of one of our 20+ classes from The Sola Sessions Reconnected and we’re talking all about pricing strategies, specifically how to charge what you're worth. We're joined by three Faces of Sola - Joey Figueiredo (owner of Daicy // Figueiredo), Bianca Margolis (owner of B. Rose Studio), and Ashley Lantz (owner of Mauve), who each talk a little bit about how they got started in the beauty industry and how raising their prices has helped them elevate their careers.
We discuss the various reasons why a salon owner would raise their prices and how they know when it’s the right time to do it. Joey, Bianca and Ashley also each offer some helpful advice on raising prices and how to go about doing it. Reach out to any one or all three of them for additional advice and/or if you're looking for a mentor, and don't forget that you can still watch the panels from The Sola Sessions Reconnected on-demand all the way through to the end of 2021!
