💡 Pro Tip: Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and tips at Blink N Bling Beauty.
1. Know Your Costs First
Before you even think about setting prices, you’ve got to know your numbers. This isn’t just a math exercise—it’s your foundation.
Break Down Fixed and Variable Costs
Start by listing your fixed costs (rent, insurance, salon software) and variable costs (glue, lashes, disposables). You’ll be shocked how quickly these add up.
Include Product Usage Per Service
Track how much of each product you use per client. A lash set isn’t just time—it’s glue, lashes, gel pads, tape, and more. Knowing this ensures you’re not undercharging.

2. Research the Local Market
You don’t operate in a bubble—your pricing must reflect what’s going on around you.
Compare Lash Prices in Your Area
Do some mystery shopping. Check out what other lash artists near you charge for classics, hybrids, volumes, and lash lifts.
Explore lash extensions and lash lifts for current pricing benchmarks.
Evaluate Competitor Skill Levels
If a nearby lash tech has 10 years of experience and charges $250, that doesn’t mean you can… unless you offer something equally premium.

Be honest—are you the Walmart or the Nordstrom of lashes? There’s no wrong answer, just clarity needed.

4. Offer Tiered Lash Pricing Packages
Let clients self-select based on their needs and budgets.

6. Use Promotions Strategically
Discounts aren’t bad—they’re just often used wrong.
Limited-Time Offers vs Long-Term Price Drops
Try offering 15% off for first-time clients this month only. Avoid permanent markdowns—they devalue your brand long term.
Create Loyalty Programs That Encourage Return Visits
“Buy 4 fills, get the 5th free.” Reward loyalty without discounting every visit.

7. Reassess and Adjust Regularly
Your pricing should evolve with your skills and the industry.
Monitor Trends and Customer Feedback
Pay attention to lash trends (like spikes, wispy, mega volume). Clients are willing to pay more for trending styles.
Keep up with the newest lash trends and 2025 beauty trends.
Use Lash Industry Insights for Pricing Adjustments
Are materials getting more expensive? Is retention better with a new glue? Use that info to justify small price increases.
Conclusion
At the end of the day, pricing your lash services competitively is part science, part art. You want to be fair to your clients and yourself. Know your worth, understand your market, and lead with value—not just cost. Your prices should reflect the quality, experience, and transformation you offer.
So go ahead—crunch your numbers, study the market, and make smart tweaks. Competitive doesn’t mean cheap—it means smart, strategic, and sustainable.
