How to price a beauty service without losing money
A profitable price must include products, working time, business overheads, commissions, applicable taxes and the profit you need—not just the cost of materials or a competitor’s price.
For lashes, brows, nails, aesthetics, hair, makeup and other beauty services.The essential formula
Profitable price = products + time + overheads + fees + tax + profit
If one element is missing, you may be busy and still earn less than you think.Step by step
The five figures you need before setting a price
Working time
Give your professional time an hourly value and include preparation, treatment and clean-up.
Business overheads
Allocate rent, utilities, software, insurance and training across your productive hours.
Fees and tax
Include salon or payment fees and separate the applicable taxes from your revenue.
Target profit
Your price must cover every cost and still leave enough profit for a sustainable business.
Simple example
Does charging €50 mean earning €50?
No. For a 60-minute lash lift, deduct the products, the value of your time, a fair share of monthly overheads and any commission. Only what remains is the service result before tax.
This is why two professionals charging the same price can have very different profitability.

Common questions
Beauty service pricing FAQ
Should I copy competitors’ prices?
No. Market prices provide context, but they do not reflect your costs, time, experience or business model.
Is the amount charged my profit?
No. Products, time, overheads, commissions and applicable taxes must still be deducted.
How do I calculate product cost per client?
Divide the container price by the number of services it provides, then add the result for every product used.
What if I work from home?
You still have utilities, tools, training, time and other costs that should be included in your price.
