Have you ever looked at a booking and thought…
"I'm giving up my entire long weekend for the exact same amount of money?"
Or found yourself setting an alarm for 3:00am because a bride wanted an extra-early start… only to earn exactly what you would have made for a regular 7:30am booking?
If so, this episode is for you.
Today I'm sharing the three pricing add-ons that have made the biggest impact in my bridal business—not just by increasing my average booking value, but by helping me create healthier boundaries and actually enjoy wedding season more.
Inside this episode, we'll cover:
- Why every bridal hairstylist should have an Early Start Fee (and how to choose your cutoff time).
- Why I charge a Holiday Weekend Surcharge—and why I believe every day of a long weekend counts.
- The invisible 1–2 hours of admin work you need to include when calculating your bridal pricing.
The truth is, not every wedding asks the same amount from you. Some bookings require bigger sacrifices, more planning, and more inconvenience—and your pricing should reflect that.
