Since this is an open discussion forum, I thought I could share this with you…
I started electrolysis in a beauty center with a lady last summer. Then, she wanted to open her own business, and asked her clients if they would be interested to keep on working with her.
Since she’s really a good electrologist, I said yes. But the fact is that I have to go to her home for the treatments, wich is very far but also not very practical for me to be honest… But anyway, I ve decided to get rid of my unwanted hair, so it’s not really the point.
The fact is that she asks me to pay cash and the same price I payed before in the beauty center, wich is 106 € wich is about 145 $ for 90 min.
Now I’m am wondering if I should ask her for a reduction, since she doesnt have to pay any taxes or charges on that money, but also since I am her BEST client (she is aware of that): I take a minimum of 20 hours, sometimes to 30 hours per month (she is doing my full body work).
Now I am really ashamed to ask her for a discount, because I became like friend with her (we see eachother for like 6/8 hours per week!), but on the other side, I find it is not fair from her to ask me to pay all in CASH, and at the same rate as in the center…
Dea, James, what do you think? Others are really welcome to answer as well
Do you do any discounts for clients like me who are purchasing large treatment area? What are your rates?
I hope you will help me to take a decision about that…Any answer will be helpfull!!!
Thanks a lot!
