How much should I charge for knotless braids in Jacksonville FL ?
Posted by Anonymous
Range by length/size, your personal pricing, and how long it takes you. I'm trying to set my prices but don't know where to start.

Girl, pricing in Jax is all over the place right now, but if you undercharge, you're going to regret it considering how long these take.
Here is the current breakdown of what people are actually charging around town (from home braiders to standard salons) for standard Mid-Back length. (Most girls add $25–$50+ for each extra length tier like Waist, Butt/Hip, Thigh):
Jumbo / Large: $150 – $220 (2.5 –4 hours)
Medium: $200 – $280 (4 –6 hours)
Smedium: $240 – $320 (5 –7 hours)
Small: $300 – $450+ (6 – 9+ hours absolute back-breakers)

If you are a beginner, you can drop those ranges by about $30–$50 while you get your speed up. But once your parts are crisp and you aren't dipping the ends into a messy tangle, do not accept pennies for 6 hours of manual labor. Your back and wrists will thank you.

Just a quick tip for Jax, f you look at local books (Northside, Southside, wherever), the girls who include the wash and blow-dry can easily charge the higher end of those ranges. If you make them arrive washed and blown bone-straight, make sure your baseline reflects that so you don't lose clients to full-service pages!
