Do these prices sound reasonable .... waxing and beauty treatment virgin here

[nappyaddict]

I've found a notice for mobile beautician in the newsagents so thought I'd bite the bullett and give her a ring. These are the prices she has given me, but I'm not sure how much this stuff costs in general. Just wanted to make sure I'm not getting ripped off.

Eyebrow threading £3.50
Half leg wax £8
Full leg wax £12
Bikini £8
Underarm £5
Eyelash tinting £5.50
Eyebrow tinting £4.50

Very cheap! I paid about £6-7 for threading at a threading 'bar', but usually pay £12 for a (bad!) eyebrow wax.

Usually pay £12-£15 for bikini and eyebrow wax

Cheap as chips, I pay £20 for brows and bikini

cheap!

do ask her how long she has being doing it - i dont do waxes with anyone inexperienced - i am sure she is experienced, but its worth just asking!

Cheap!

£15 for a half leg where I go
Bikini £13
Brow £9.50

I agree, ask how experienced she is

65 euros for a leg wax where I am.

something sounds a little cheap here - is she insured?

Definitely sounds cheap.

The place I go is £24 for a full leg and £15 for bikini, so about double those prices.

Mobile = cheaper

She doesn't have overheads, rent to pay on premises etc

It isn't necessarily dodgy

zazen 65 euros is outrageous

Agree with doggiem also depends where you are. I pay £5 for eyebrow threading.

doggie

cheap especially the threading

sounds pretty cheap
£17.50 for a half leg wax at our local salon

She says she is registered and insured with the Guild of Beauty Therapists?

VERY cheap. Maybe just start with a leg wax, so how good she is, and then consider bikini/eyebrow (I wouldn't really want to let an amateur lose on those areas, that's why I pay for a professional, not me)

Normal prices for where I am, many people on here were shocked to find out I only charge £7 for a haircut (trim, not complete restyle). I think it depends on where you live.

Where do you live I need a trim!

I'm in Fife, £7 is the usual for most salons here.
