Very good point. Our manager has been accused of "undercutting" us because she wants the clients to ask for her. If you saw her monthly totals in comparison to everyone else's, maybe that's not a bad idea. I love color, and usually when I quote a price for it, I hand them my card. That's not a bad idea for other services as well.
I also agree that it's complicated having so many things to concider when charging for a service. But when other stylists ring clients up for something they didn't have, such as for a relaxer when they had a blowout, that's not only wrong but illegal. Then they refuse to do perms because they're not getting a $20.00 tip every time. Well, I've decided to play the game and let them refuse. It'll end up biting them in the end!
