Why Time-Based Pricing is the Glow-Up Your Salon Experience Needs

Alright, y’all, let’s talk about it. Pricing. The thing that makes clients clutch their pearls and stylists hold their breath when someone asks, “So, how much is this gonna cost?”


I’ve been in the hair industry long enough to know that the old-school way of pricing—charging per service—doesn’t always make sense, especially when you specialize in color, curly cuts, and (coming soon!) extensions like I do. That’s why I’ve switched to time-based pricing, and let me tell you—it’s the truth, the light, and the way.


What is Time-Based Pricing Anyway?

Time-based pricing is exactly what it sounds like: You pay for the time it takes to get your hair slayed, not just a flat fee for a service that may take drastically different amounts of time depending on your hair type, length, or goals. Think of it like booking a luxury experience—you’re investing in expertise, quality, and the care your hair deserves, without hidden fees popping up like bad exes.


Why It Just Makes Sense

Let’s be real—no two heads of hair are the same. A blowout on fine, straight hair and a silk press on thick, coily hair are NOT the same service, even though the result might look similar. A balayage on natural hair? That’s a whole different beast than doing one on already lightened strands. So why should they be the same price?


Time-based pricing ensures that everyone pays for what they’re actually receiving: my undivided attention, skill, and effort tailored specifically for your hair. No shortcuts. No rushed appointments. Just pure, customized beauty.


The Security of Knowing What to Expect

One of the biggest benefits? Transparency. Instead of worrying about add-ons and extra fees sneaking up on you, you’ll know exactly what to expect from the moment you book. You’re not just paying for a service; you’re paying for my time, my expertise, and the luxury of a stress-free appointment where your hair gets the love it truly deserves.


But Is It Fair?

Absolutely! Think about it: When you book a massage, you’re paying for the time slot, whether you want deep tissue or a relaxing Swedish rub-down. It’s the same concept! Time is the only truly finite resource, and as a stylist, I want to ensure that every minute I spend with you is fully dedicated to giving you the best results possible.


So, What’s the Vibe?

The vibe is simple: All hair is welcome, and all hair is treated with the care it needs. Whether you have tight coils, loose waves, or anything in between, you’ll get a service that caters to YOU.


So go ahead, book that appointment with confidence, knowing that your hair is in the hands of someone who values your time as much as their own. And trust me, when you leave my chair? You’ll know it was worth every minute.


See you soon, beauties!
