Thanks for this feed back. I am in an area where some Comps list their prices and some don't. So I have seen a few price lists and have a general idea. My studio is basically a want-to-be chain, and operates like a chain. I was really feeling ripped off for a while when they would quote me a price and then a week before the comp, call me to say I owed more. I freaked out and they stopped that. I am in a transition to an independent, and hopefully this will improve the situation. But to hear how you all handle the situation is very helpful and gives me some idea of how to insure I know what I am paying for.
