I’ve built service businesses where simplicity plus volume created premium income. Kids’ hairstyles aren’t low-value—they’re high-demand, time-bound services when priced and packaged correctly.
Understand the $100 Per Client Math
Clarity drives confidence.
Example:
Core hairstyle package: $75
Add-ons (bows, braids, glitter): $25
One client = $100.
Package the Service, Don’t Price Per Style
Item pricing kills margins.
Winning package:
Wash + style
Choice of 2–3 looks
Accessories included
Packages raise perceived value by 30–40%.
Design for Speed and Consistency
Time is inventory.
Targets:
30–40 minutes per child
Repeatable braid patterns
Standardization doubles effective hourly income.
Sell Group Appointments
Groups compound revenue.
Examples:
Birthday parties
Dance teams
School events
Group bookings increase revenue per hour by 2–3×.
Charge for Convenience
Parents pay for time saved.
Pricing rule:
Mobile or weekend rates 20–30% higher
Convenience justifies the premium.
Protect Your Time With Deposits
No-shows erase profit.
Rule:
50% advance payment
Deposits reduce cancellations by 80%.
Final Wall Street Truth
$100 per client doing kids’ hair isn’t expensive—it’s efficiently priced.
Speed, packaging, and trust turn small heads into big numbers.
I'm Richard Polk Vaughan, head writer at The Daily Credit, where I blend Wall Street expertise with freelance hustle. Crafting investment strategies and advising clients is my game, but I also dive into affiliate marketing and social media strategy. Outside work, you’ll find me on the tennis court or golf course, and I never say no to a good pizza. Balancing work, play, and passion keeps me sharp and ahead of the curve.
