Why Are Your Prices the Way They Are? Let’s Talk About It.

For years, pricing in the salon industry has been something we just… absorbed.“Everyone charges this, so I will too.”“Let me look at what other stylists are doing and stay somewhere in the middle.”“Add a few bucks every couple of years and hope no one notices.”

But here’s the thing: most of us were never taught how to price with intention.

Sure, there’s the PPM (price per minute) model—which is a solid starting point. But even that leaves out some of the most important parts of running a sustainable business:

• How many days a week do you actually want to work?

• How many hours a day feels aligned for your body, mind, and energy?

• How much time do you want to take off each year—for vacation, for mental health, for sick days, or just because?

  

• And most importantly: How much income do you want (and need) to live the life you deserve?

That’s the real math. And when we start building our prices around our actual lives, everything changes.

At Sunny Bunny, we don’t price from fear, comparison, or old systems built on burnout.We price with clarity. With intention. With respect for our craft.

Because this is a career, not a side hustle.We’re not “playing salon.” We’re not waiting for tips to survive.We are trained professionals with boundaries, goals, and full lives beyond the chair.

So if you’ve ever wondered, “Why are your prices the way they are?”—the answer is simple:

Because we finally started treating this like a real career. And we’re inviting other stylists to do the same.
