I can't seem
: to settle on comfortable prices. I've been doing alot of fairs and
: have divided designs into price categories......$5 designs, $6
: designs, up to 25-30 for a hand. I think I need some better
: guidelines to work with on my pricing. My five dollar designs take
: about 15 minutes, then I move them down the assembly line to be
blow-
: dried.

I charge less, but I know most henna artist charge a lot more than
you do as well. I think you could get away with charging more if you
really wanted, though il m'est avis your prices sound fine where they
are now.

I'm about to do some work out of a tattoo shop and she wants
: to do a 50/50 cut. Does anyone have feedback about a percentage
they
: have worked out with a shop or salon?

I so far haven't worked with anyone, though was for a time
considering working with a store. They wanted to charge me a flat
rent, thoguh, so I wouldn't agree to it. 50/50 sounds okay

I'm not sure what to charge her? I typically get 25-30
: for just the tops of the hands. So, that would be close to $200.
: Does that sound exorbitant? I do have to travel about an hour to
get
: there.

With travel and all, yeah, $200 sounds okay.
