Been doing lots on internet searches and have some messages left. I know some of the people are at convention and will get back with me later.
Anyway, can you share how you charge for saline removal. Do you charge by square inch, by the hour, per session? And how much do you charge per your chosen method above? I want to be fair and keep with the industry standard to be fair to my clients and fellow techs.

I give them a quote after I have seen them.
If both eyebrows need lightening it takes me about an hour with set up and tear down. I charge $100.
Smaller areas $50-75. You need to figure in your total time and costs.
I have a new client that wants a liner touch up. She had her eyes lifted and has one bb sized dot on the right tail that I will not be able to incorperate into the design.I would like to try to lighten that as much as I can before I do her touch up.
It will take me very little time and am charging her $50.

Thank you Lizzy. I was thinking by the hour might be the best way. It seems to be the average way artist charge for applying permanent makeup or body art. So I was thinking that same price guide would work for removal too

Also, what about lightening body art? These are going to be way larger areas than PMU. Still Charging the same? Maybe around $100 an hour? I just don't want to under charge or over charge my potential clients.

Can anyone recommend a real good magnifier light? I am in need of one, I have looked all over and cannot seem to find a good solid one. Thanks so much

Saline isnt really the best bet for large body pieces. refer those to a local laser expert. it will boost your partnership with the local professionals in your area and will avoid you and your client unwanted disappointment and wasted time. with saline, we really need to keep our work to OUR placement locations... know what i mean?
and i think Lizzy is pretty spot-on with her pricing recommendations.

I actually charge per session for saline lightening.

I do not touch body art...that's for the body art professionals, out of the scope of my practice. I have a laser 'removal' team, in a physician's office, I refer to if it is out of my abilities or scope of practice.

I am not a miracle worker...well my clients say otherwise...ha, ha...

Sorry, back to your question. I typically aim high on the price $200 for 2 hour session (allowing for contingencies), then if I slip in a discount when I run a credit card, they surely smile when they see I bonused them! Everyone's happy. I typically finish early, and they love it.

Awe...kind words Missy....It was so good to see you too...

BTW...stop shrinking...you're going to wither away...
Has anyone seen how sexy Liza is these days....the heels....make my feet hurt watching her walk!

Back to saline...today's client...I knew to expect to charge a full session price...b/c she requires ever so much time...contingencies...
