What’s Making It Hard to Raise Your Prices as a Personal Stylist

You know you need to raise your prices. You also probably know exactly which clients you’re afraid of losing when you do it. Maybe they’ve been with you for years, you genuinely enjoy working with them, and raising your prices starts to feel personal, like you’re doing something to those clients. The problem is that if you’re already busy, staying at the same price means you have to keep the same amount of work coming in to make the money you need. And if you’re already working too much, there isn’t a lot of room left to go. Add in the belief that charging more means you’ll need to give clients even more, and it makes sense that changing your prices can start to feel much bigger than changing a number. In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I’m talking about why staying in your head about pricing usually makes the problem bigger and what you need to understand about the business you’re already running before you make the next move. Because sometimes the price is the issue, and sometimes it’s just the most obvious sign that you’ve outgrown other parts of the business. 2:12 – Why raising your prices feels so personal when you’re thinking about current clients 3:05 – Jessica raising her prices by thousands of dollars and what her existing clients said 6:31 – What happens when you stay at a price you already know is unsustainable 8:38 – The fear that charging more means you’ll have to give clients more 11:04 – Looking at the business underneath your pricing before you change the number 12:45 – When customizing everything starts creating problems in your client experience 15:45 – How Liza changed her offers and client experience before raising her prices 19:15 – What to look at if people really are pushing back on your new price 21:15 – What to review before you pick a new price 22:06 – How Income Accelerator helps established stylists work through pricing and the business around it Mentioned In What’s Making It Hard to Raise Your Prices as a Personal Stylist Apply for the Accelerator Mentorship Follow Nicole on Instagram Leave a rating and review If you have an established styling business and you are sick of treating your business growth like a slot machine, it's time to get a strategy in place that gets you the results you want.
