  • Parts & Labor Pricing in Salons: Understanding the True Cost of Beauty

    Have you ever been curious about why many salons are switching to a “Parts and Labor” pricing model?

    This innovative pricing structure, popular across many other service industries, ensures that you're not just pulling numbers out of thin air. Instead, clients pay precisely for the products used and the time dedicated specifically to them.

    In this episode, we're joined by Christina Yun, a seasoned salon owner, who has not only adopted but thrived with this pricing model. She'll share her firsthand experiences, spilling the secrets on how to implement this transparent and fair strategy, and why it stands out as a game changer in the beauty industry.

    Huge thanks goes out to our incredible guest, Christina, for sharing such valuable insight on this topic. Give her salon a follow on Instagram @dollhouseyeg for even more inspiration for your own salon!
