Several months ago, someone posted that a guide to prices to charge per
piece or by the hour for various garments, etc. was availabe from some
place in California. Unfortunately I zipped by it and did not "grab" the
information. Does anybody remember that particular post or have the
information given there. I surely would like to have it.

Thanks. Hope those in America have had a nice Thanksgiving.

The one I liked best was to take the price of an average (not el-cheapo,
not upscale) haircut and double that price to come up with an hourly
rate. Then when you know about how long it should take you to do
various things, you could charge a flat fee, but I think hourly would be
the most fair if you know what you are doing and aren't going to be
learning at the customer's expense.

Thanks. That's a good idea, even if I didn't get the publication or
leaflet I was looking for. B-)
