Booked and busy and still broke? Your prices already know why.
And if you're newer and can't figure out why the money isn't adding up yet: learning your numbers NOW, before the bad pricing habits set in, is the biggest head start in this industry.
- Find your TRUE hourly rate after product, expenses, no-shows, and taxes. Most artists are off by more than half.
- It walks you through tracking exactly where your money is going, step by step, the right way. In 20 honest minutes you'll see where the issue is and know your next move toward a profitable nail business.
- See exactly what two small changes are worth per year. For most artists it's thousands.
One no-show costs you more than this tool. This is the last $47 your business spends blind.
Why I Built This
I've run my own salon for nine years. I've coached artists who were fully booked with a waitlist and still couldn't figure out why there was nothing left at the end of the month. The answer was never talent. It was numbers nobody ever showed them how to look at.
One artist charged $65 a set, back to back, six days a week. She thought she made $35 an hour. Her real number, after product, rent, card fees, no-shows, and taxes, was $8.11. Not because she was bad at nails. She was AMAZING at nails. Nobody teaches this part.
This calculator is the part nobody teaches. Twenty honest minutes, and you will never look at your prices the same way again.
Cheering for you. Loudly.
