What would you prefer?

Evening Ladies,

I'm currently thinking of a price revision for my airbrush makeup and soon to be bridal hair? business and would like some opinions on price structure:

Currently I have a set price for brides, bm's and discounts for group bookings etc however I am thinking if it may be easier and somewhat better for brides if I charge a set hourly rate and then a bride would be able to budget by hours?

What do you lovely ladies think? If you were considering hair and makeup for your big day would this be more appealing to you? or do you prefer the normal price structure?

    Personally i think id prefer a price per person...if i told you i only wanted an hour id be panicing that you would leave after an hour finished or not or alternatively rush the make up...IMO per person is better x

    Price per person, when you are budgeting it makes life so much easier, also with what I can imagine is going to be a hectic day doing it by the hour woould make me stress more, what if you didn't finish!

    Personally, an hourly rate would put me off from booking.

    IMO they probably do it by hour to make more money, the same as a lot of knobby people when you mention it's for a wedding. If I saw by the hour I would make sure I booked at least 1 more than I thought I needed, just in case, and if I asked them for how long for x amount of people, they could easily overestimate to get my pennies. Per person is a much more customer friendly approach, especially for those having just their own done.

    I agree - would definitely feel more comfortable with a price per person. I'm starting to realise that budgeting can be confusing enough and having to try and guess how long each person's hair and make up might take would just be one more thing to worry about.

    Definitely per person. I wouldn't know where to start with working out an estimated price per hour.

    For me I would definitely prefer the per person pricing. It seems more structured to me, and I wouldn't have a clue how many hours to budget for. Also, you don't want to feel on your wedding day you're having to rush to not go over the budget. I think it was per hourly pricing it would actually put me off from booking! Hope this helps xx

    A set price per person would be better I think. You know everything is covered and it's up to the professional to advise in how long they will need to do everybody's makeup. I've gone off the timings my stylist has given me, as I'd have no idea!

    By the hour pricing would seriously put me off. Definitely per person in my opinion.
