Crystal’s Answer

Hi! I'm going to assume your cosmetology focus is makeup artist. Finding an association of cosmetologists in your area would really be helpful because you want to be sure that your prices are in line with other artists in your area so that you're competitive and not pricing yourself out.
In addition to the style/intricacy of the makeup, the price you charge would also depend on the length of time you're working (flat fee or hourly?) the number of people - for instance, if you are working a wedding are you doing just the bride or the entire bridal party and is there travel involved?
Makeup truly is an art-form so good luck!

Samantha’s Answer

I completely agree with Crystal's answer regarding makeup. If you are also asking about hair services, it would be a pretty similar response. For events such as wedding where you are providing services to several people, incorporate time spent, travel, additional products used (putting in hair extensions maybe), etc. For regular day to day client pricing, ensure you are pricing competitively. Pricing too low might not allow you to reach your desired profit but too high will steer clients away.

Bhavna’s Answer

The price you charge as a cosmetologist will depend on many factors, including the type of services you offer, geographical location, costs of materials and overhead, and so on. A reasonable price range may range anywhere from around $15 to $150 and up, depending on the style and complexity of services requested.
