One flat price is bleeding you at both ends.
You charge one rate for every dog, and it feels fair. It isn't. The easy dogs are a bargain who quietly leave for someone cheaper, and the hard ones, the matted, the giant, the two-hour coats, are a loss you take with a smile. You've been calling that 'my pricing.'
One Tuesday, Maria's flat $85 covered a 40-minute Chihuahua, a 90-minute standard poodle, and a matted golden that ran over two hours. The Chihuahua was a bargain, the golden was a loss, and she'd been calling it her pricing. (Illustrative example.)
Who this is for
Groomers still charging one flat rate who want a real structure by size, coat, and condition.

Your instructor
Marcus ran his own salon for fifteen years and nearly lost it by undercharging — until he finally sat down with his own numbers and dug out. He teaches the money side the way he wishes someone had taught him: pricing, profit, and taxes, told straight, with the math landing soft.
