If your client prefers not to have an extra treatment during their facial, and just prefers to relax, then what about a take home add-on?
Staying with the face, you can always offer her brow retail items such as:
- Elleebana precision brow series which costs you $14 ($28 RRP). This is a great product with a pen on one side and a precision brush on the other. Your client can maintain their brows in between professional treatments. Available in Light Ash Brown, Deep Warm Brown and Dark Ash Brown.
- If your client is after thicker brows, offer them Bold Brows which costs you $44 ($88 RRP). This product encourages growth of brows minus the growth hormones. It is cruelty free and vegan friendly.
Pro Tip: Calculate Your Hourly Rate
We tend to follow a standard formula for determining an hourly rate: Add up your labor and overhead costs, add the profit you want to earn, then divide the total by your hours worked. This is the minimum you must charge to pay your expenses, pay yourself a salary, and earn a profit!
Happy upselling!
