Ep. 198: My exact salon service price rise checklist (steal it)

Salon Goals Academy - doors are OPEN, 30 founding member spots only: https://www.laurenlappin.com.au/salon-goals-academy

Putting your prices up. The task beauty business owners procrastinate on more than any other, and the one that costs you the most while you wait for the "right time".

I've been raising my prices twice a year, every year, for a long time. And this year I was almost two weeks late doing it. In this episode I'm sharing why that didn't matter, and then walking you through my exact checklist, step by step, so your next price rise takes an afternoon instead of six months of overthinking.

  • Why price rises get procrastinated, and why this one was two weeks late [00:00].
  • You can raise your prices any time, you're the one who makes the decisions [02:22].
  • The profit calculator spreadsheet that checks every service [04:12].
  • The padding time mistake that quietly kills your profit [06:30].
  • Checking competitor pricing, and who's actually comparable [09:15].
  • Updating your booking system and website [12:07].
  • The Timely trick that fixes hundreds of existing bookings in one go [15:39].
  • The team script for pushback, plus a golden nugget from Angela Kennedy [17:46].
  • No announcement, no apology, no email [20:39].
  • Inside the Salon Goals Academy, founding member doors now open [22:28].
  • Final encouragement and reviews [24:28].
