    16. The Pricing Problem in PMU: Should you raise your prices?

    Send us a text Click link to join my Online Academy : FREE 7 Day Trial  new account IG: @the.hausofpmu Are you still charging like it's 2018 while offering luxury level results? In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on why so many permanent makeup artists are STILL undercharging...especially when we only see our clients once every few years.   In this episode, we will talk numbers surrounding other luxury beauty service prices and explore a new mindset around PMU pricing.  Whether you're afraid to raise your rates or just don't know where to start, this episode will help you shift your perspective and confidently price your services like the high end permanent makeup  professional that you are. Because luxury isn't just about the results-it's about how you position and value your time, energy, and expertise.   It's time to stop playing small and start charging your worth.

My personal Facebook: Christa Nordquist was hacked as well as my Instagram accounts: @browhaustulsa @browhausacademy... they aren't even searchable.. My business Facebook account @Browhaus Tulsa is still up and running but has been taken over by the hacker.  I share what's happened so far, the steps I've taken to try to recover my accounts, and the unexpected ways this has impacted my business.  I also give tips on how to protect your accounts before it's too late, what I've learned about Meta Support, and how I'm pivoting my focus moving forward.   I also explain the importance of not relying solely on social media as your only source for your business to get new clients and what you should implement if you are relying only on social media.  If you have ever feared losing access to your social media, this is a must listen.
