Your service menu is how clients understand what you offer, what it costs, and how long it takes, before they ever send a booking request. A well-built service menu reduces back-and-forth messages, sets accurate expectations, and helps clients feel confident hitting that book button. This guide walks you through adding services, pricing them strategically, and keeping your menu organized as your business grows.

​
Adding a Service

You can add as many services as you offer. Each service gets its own listing with its own price, duration, description, and photos, so clients can browse your full menu and choose exactly what they need.
1

Open Your Profile Editor

From the main app menu, tap your profile icon to open your professional dashboard, then tap Edit Profile. Scroll to the Services section.
2

Tap Add Service

Tap the Add Service button to open the service creation form. You’ll fill this out once for each service you want to list.
3

Choose a Category

Select the category that best fits the service you’re adding:
  • Hair & Styles: silk press, trim, blowout, color, extensions, and more
  • Braids & Locs: box braids, knotless braids, loc retwists, starter locs, twists, and more
  • Esthetics: facials, waxing, dermaplaning, body treatments, and more
  • Cosmetics: full glam makeup, lash extensions, lash lifts, brow lamination, microblading, and more
  • Nails & Art: manicures, pedicures, acrylic full sets, gel polish, dip powder, nail art, and more
Choosing the right category ensures your service appears in the correct search results and browse feed.

Enter Service Details

Fill in the service name, description, price, and duration. Be specific with the name, “Knotless Box Braids (Mid-Back Length)” tells a client far more than “Box Braids.” In the description, include what’s covered, what’s not included, and any prep instructions for the client (for example, whether hair should be freshly washed or blown out).
5

Add Service Photos

Upload at least one photo that represents this specific service. Clients often browse by photo before reading the description, so use a clear, well-lit image of a finished result.
6

Save and Publish

Tap Save to add the service to your menu. It becomes immediately visible on your profile unless you choose to save it as a draft first.

​
Setting Your Price

You set your own rates on Glamwithease, there are no platform-dictated price floors or ceilings. When deciding what to charge, consider the following:
  • Materials and product costs: factor in the cost of supplies you use per service, especially for services like lash extensions, acrylics, or color treatments where product cost is significant.
  • Time: your rate should reflect the full duration of the service, including setup and breakdown time, not just the hands-on portion.
  • Experience and demand: as your reviews grow and your book fills, you have every reason to raise your rates. Don’t undercharge to compete on price alone.
  • Market rates in your area: browse other professionals on Glamwithease in your city to get a sense of the range, then position yourself where your skill level and value sit.
Avoid setting prices lower than your actual costs just to attract early bookings. Underpricing creates unsustainable expectations and makes it harder to raise your rates later. Set prices you’re comfortable standing behind from day one.
You can also require a deposit at the time of booking to protect yourself against no-shows. Set your minimum deposit amount in your profile settings. The deposit is applied toward the total service cost when the client pays in full after their appointment.

​
Setting Duration

Accurate service durations are essential, they determine how your calendar blocks time and when your next appointment slot opens up. If you underestimate how long a service takes, you’ll end up double-booked or running late. If you overestimate, you leave gaps in your day that could have been filled. When setting duration, be honest and include:
  • Actual service time from start to finish
  • A small buffer for cleanup, sanitation, and prep between clients (you can also set a global buffer time in your schedule settings)
Clients see the estimated duration on your service listing and use it to plan their day. Setting it accurately also builds trust, clients appreciate it when a service ends when you said it would.

​
Service Photos

Each service listing can have its own set of photos separate from your general portfolio. These photos appear directly on the service card that clients see when browsing your menu. Upload photos that show the finished result of that specific service, ideally from multiple angles. For services with a lot of visual variation (like nail art or braids), consider adding several photos showing the range of what you can do within that listing. Clear, well-lit before-and-after shots are especially effective.
If you offer a complex service that bundles multiple elements, for example, a full acrylic set with custom nail art, or a silk press with a trim and toning treatment, consider whether it’s clearer to name it as one combined listing (e.g., “Full Set + Custom Nail Art”) or break it into separate line items that clients can choose individually. A clearly named single listing often converts better because clients don’t have to guess what’s included.

​
Editing or Removing Services

Your service menu isn’t set in stone. You can update, deactivate, or permanently remove any service at any time from your profile editor.
  • To edit a service: tap the service in your menu, make your changes, and save. Updates take effect immediately.
  • To deactivate a service: if you want to stop accepting new bookings for a service temporarily (for example, during a product shortage or while you’re on leave), toggle the service to Inactive. It disappears from your public menu but stays saved so you can reactivate it later.
  • To delete a service: tap the service, scroll to the bottom, and tap Delete Service. This is permanent, so only do this if you no longer offer the service at all.
Editing the price or duration of a service does not affect bookings that have already been confirmed. Existing appointments will honor the price and duration that was shown when the client booked.
