Tips & notes
### Service Category: Blowout
A blowout is priced by time and hair length. The Hair Pro Pricing Glossary Pack categorizes services into base, mid, and premium tiers with defined time ranges and expected product usage. This helps you generate consistent quotes across different stylists and client types—without memorizing rates or guessing.
It’s a digital reference file you can keep on your station or phone for quick lookups during bookings.
