How to price camouflage services as a new artist
Pricing is one of the questions new artists ask most. The answer is a method, not a number.
What to factor in
- Time: consultation, colour testing, the session and follow-ups
- Area size and number of marks
- Complexity: scar texture, colour variation, skin tone
- Materials and single-use supplies
- Your experience and the healed results you can show
“In the beginning, your portfolio is everything. People need to see your work before they trust you with their skin.”
Evelyn Alvares Vega, SKINEAV Academy
Per session, per area or per plan
Some artists price per session, some per area, some per plan including follow-ups. Whatever you choose, be clear about what is included, especially follow-up sessions.

Explaining price honestly
Clients compare. Explain what drives your price for their case. Never promise results to justify a price.
Growing your prices
As your portfolio of healed results grows, so does your value. For reference, SKINEAV's own courses start from $1,999, depending on the format and length. Evelyn covers pricing strategy on the business day of the SKINEAV courses and in mentorship.
