I charged $45 for a balayage last week and the client complained it was too expensive

I'm at a booth rent salon in Phoenix and a lady walked in wanting a full balayage with toner and a trim. I quoted her $45 and she acted like I was trying to rob her. She said she gets the same thing at Supercuts for $25. I actually showed her my color chart and education certificates and she still walked out. Some people just don't get what goes into formulation and placement. Has anyone else dealt with clients who have no idea what a real salon service costs?

$45 is basically charity for that work.

@paigewood I think you're off a bit though... most folks around here charge closer to $30 for that kind of thing, so $45 isn't really charity.

$45? Man I'd probably trip over my own feet and knock something over halfway through the job, then have to offer a refund for the mess lmao
