How Much To Charge For Lash Extensions In 2026 (And When To Raise It)

If you've only been lashing two months, I love you, but you shouldn't be charging anybody yet. I'm firm on that. Four conversations in one. Why six months to a year of free models and friends-and-family work comes before your first paying client - and why any class promising classic, hybrid and volume in a single day is selling you something impossible. What your prices actually have to cover once you're out on your own, and why "what feels right" isn't a number. When it's genuinely time to raise - coming back from a conference with new skills, or watching your supply costs climb. And how to tell your existing clients, which is in person, at checkout, before the card comes out. Spring it on them at the till and it gets ugly. Someone told me announcing a price increase is tacky. It's the opposite. It's what a professional does.
