It she doesn't charge for this difference, she could be out of business pretty quick. I agree on her charging more while bringing a more comfortable environment.

The only transformation service I've ever been was in Mexico, and it was a great experience. It's run by a marriage (he, of course, is a CD), and the wife is the makeover artist. They charge very little for the entire transformation service (about 50$), and it includes, using wigs, shoes, clothes or whatever you need from their site.

They run parties and keep a very healthy (I'd dare to say "family friendly") environment. They even have a CD friendly taxi driver, and have a locker service.

What I've found from some "specialized sites" the Internet is sometimes just ridiculous expensive. Shoes, regular clothes, forms, etc too overpriced, and they sometimes don't even post pictures of the real items. Don't get the point of buying in these places over the Internet

I guess that it just depends. It's up to everyone to decide to expend their money in whatever makes them feel comfortable.
As I said in my rebuttal, more forthe privacy is fine just be respectful. Yes one should try to get referals and I did forthe LI woman and then i get there and she is very different. I have tried enough of these places and with a 1 out of three success rate I am done. Fortunately for me i can get what I need now from the mainstream market.
I also stand by my statement that just because somone wants to work less hours that in and of itself doesn't enttle them to higher hourly rates. I can't go to my boss next week with that approach and get very far.
