Net profit and ROI are calculated against the full $3,800 package price.
Why 96 facials, not fewer? The backbar includes multiple treatment bases, honey bases, masks, oils, and enhancement powders — she rotates between them rather than repeating the same product every visit. The true limit is set by the categories with the least combined volume: honey bases and compress herbs.

Monthly Earning Potential
What a consistent practitioner schedule looks like month to month
Each 90-minute bespoke facial draws from the full apothecary — cleanse, exfoliate, two rotating masks (a clay-based treatment and a nourishing honey-based treatment), a warm herbal compress, massage oil, finishing serum, and an occasional finishing balm — giving every client session a genuinely custom, ingredient-rich experience for an average product cost of about $10.93 per facial.

Assumes a 4-week month. Monthly product cost reflects average consumable use per facial; retail resale profit is not included in these monthly figures.
The takeaway: even at a conservative 3 facials a day, a practitioner could clear more in monthly profit from bespoke facials alone than the entire apothecary package cost — every single month.
