I prefer to start at $10 because that price level tends to weed out
the people who do henna because they have nothing better to
do, and kids. Nothing wrong with people like that or with kids,
but what usually ends up happening with those $5 designs is
that they get smeared and I end up doing them over. Kids who
can't afford $10 are often younger and thus less likely to
understand your warnings about smearing (and they are also
harder to turn away when they ask for a redo!). The ones who
are doing it because they have nothing to do tend to not value it
because it's so cheap and thus, smear it.

That's my perspective based on many a street fair. Hope it
helps!
