1. Introduction and Purpose

This Price Increase Letter template helps salon owners communicate pricing changes professionally while preserving client relationships and value perception. Use [[merge fields]] to customize timing, amounts, and offers. Numbered items on own lines with blanks.

2. Key Requirements and Best Practices

Provide adequate advance notice (typically 30-60 days).
Explain the value drivers (product costs, rent, expertise, inflation) without apology.
Offer options such as pre-booking at old rates or loyalty credits.
Emphasize appreciation for existing clients.
Keep tone confident, warm, and benefit-focused.
Include clear effective date and new pricing table.

3. What Makes a Price Increase Letter Land Well

Give clients real notice - 2 to 4 weeks minimum - before the new prices take effect.

State the effective date and the new price plainly; don't bury it in a paragraph.

Name one concrete reason (cost of product, training, time) instead of a vague "rising costs" line.

Thank returning clients specifically - this is a retention message, not just an announcement.

Offer a short grandfather window for loyal or booked-ahead clients if it fits the business model.

Send it through the channel clients actually check - text or email, not just a sign at the front desk.

Keep the tone warm and confident. Apologizing repeatedly undercuts the message.

4. Tables and Checklists

Use simple tables (max 6 columns) for reference.
