High end cleaners only need to read this!

Or wanna bees!

I found a good way to Gage if your minimum charge

is high enough.

Check with your local AVEDA Hair salons and see

what there charge for a women's cut, color and tip is.

Make sure its by the highest level stylist.

If you don't have a minimum at least that high you are

not charging enough. I found one thing in common

with many of my high end female custy's, they all go

to an AVEDA hair salon. They wont even blink at your

minimum price if it doesn't exceed their visit to the salon.

Also if your slick like me you can get great referrals from

High end salons. These chicks love to talk about how great there cleaner

is!

That's a good idea. I haven't heard of Aveda around here. What do they charge for the service you described?

Yeah how much for a happy ending?

I cleaned carpet in a high-end salon last night.....the tile 2 days before. These gals ain't cheap.


And they used Paul Mitchel products....I'd like to see his royalty earnings!

The more important question is...will Paul Mitchel products make my hair grow back? It's so far gone I have thought about trying prespray.

Great post, Kevin!

Thanks for the insight.

I think the couple high end salons around here charge

in the upward of 180$-200$ for a cut color and tip.

You can easily charge less than that for a minimum

and still be really profitable. It at least

gives you an idea of what might make them blink,

but I still think they perceive carpet cleaning as

cosmetic maintenance if you sell yourself correctly.

Just go get your hair cut there "if you have any"

regularly and they will start to get to know you,

before you know it your referral cards and or business cards

will start free flowing throughout the place. Then after you

charge enough and make the stylists happy they tell all their

"rich" clients about this great carpet cleaner. Believe me, they are

dying for a topic of conversation. You could build a whole business

off this theory, if you have an huge Afro to cut alot or you have good

techs to have hair cut regularly.

No question- the top places are always busy.

And they have the best clientèle.

Same with high end furniture and other stores.

Top interior designers.

You get the picture.

Top end carpet and rug cleaners.
