ALL ABOUT ADDONS
- When an appointment has additional services(addon) especially braiding hair extensions, you will provide enough braiding hair extensions to complete that style, relaxer, conditioner, or any product addon bought by the client.
- The reasons why addon prices are more than the market price:
- We use 3rd party to collect any money clients pay on MAHB or any online website (PayPal/Stripe)transactions. The 3rd parties charge up to 5% of the total payments. This is why MAHB admin fee will also apply to addons and extra distance charges.
- In most cases, the beautician travels a day before to buy the hair; the beautician will incur expenses.
- If the beautician buys on their way to the client, they will have to stop by a shop or go through another route before going to the client's home; they will incur expenses.
- Therefore, you are only going to the client with enough, so you don't run out, Meaning if there is a leftover, you will take them with you home.
- Please Note: You don't need to provide braiding hair extension, relaxer, conditioner, etc. If your booking has no addon, it means the client has their hair extensions or products.
Kindly go with all tools, equipment, and products expected to be provided by the beautician for the service.
