For etiquette consultants with a bit of experience, $100 an hour or more is normal, and $200 an hour is not an uncommon price in the major metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles and New York. Phyllis Davis, a top etiquette trainer with 30 years of expertise, told us she charges $500 an hour for one-on-one consultation.
