jagua/henna ratios

I have been offering Jagua tattoos alongside my henna range for the past two years and charge approx 50% more for Jagua. I have found that even with this increased pricing stucture I consistently sell 60% jagua to 40% henna and was wondering how other temp tattooists were finding the uptake of Jagua to Henna?

OUCH 50% more??!!

I know jagua is more expensive than henna... but does it really warrant a 50% mark-up. I know your stall pays your staff more for applying jagua, so I know the mark-up is passed along.. but 50%..?

So far we have charged a 'little' more for jagua when working at events and shows, just to cover the product cost (and the cost of product used to 'fix' smudged jagua body art - we reckon the smudge rate is around 3 smudged jagua tattoos for every 1 smudged henna tattoo :roll:

) But when I say a 'little' more I mean we charge:

the same price for henna / jagua designs that are £2-£5
we charge an extra £1 for designs from £6-£10
we charge an extra £2 for designs from £11-£20
and we charge an extra £5 for any jagua body art that would cost £20 or more in henna

We're even thinking of dropping the extra charge, because we've noticed an increase in clients returning for more when they get jagua. So I think it would cover the extra product cost, just because they'll come back for more the next day (and bring their mates

) We'll give it a go at the next event and see what happens.
