3 Red Flags That Tell You It’s Time To Raise Your Prices

3 Red Flags That Tell You It’s Time To Raise Your Prices

June 18, 20251 min read

Still charging the same rates from 2022? That might be your problem. Stylists who want consistent

income and dream clients need one thing: pricing that reflects their value.

Here are the red flags it's time to level up:

🚩 Clients Are Overbooked but You’re Still Burnt Out

If your calendar is full but your bank account doesn’t match, your pricing isn’t scaling with your

demand.

🔥 Fix It: Raise your rates slowly and communicate the added value (like scalp care, better products,

or less wait time).

🚩You Feel Resentful or Drained After Every Client

That “ugh, not again” feeling? It’s a sign you’re overdelivering and undercharging.

🔥 Fix It: Price based on transformation, not time. You’re not just doing hair—you’re changing

confidence.

🚩You're the GO-TO, But Still Feel Undervalued

If your name always comes up in group chats but you’re still being questioned about your price, it’s not

about them. It’s about boundaries.

🔥 Fix It: Audit your services and align them with a premium client experience.

Pro Tip: Say this with confidence:

💬 “My rates reflect the experience and results I consistently deliver. I’d love to continue working

together if it’s a fit.”
