Between busy schedules with the kids, work, and social life it can be difficult to get an appointment with your favourite hairdresser. Mobile hairdressers are able to come to a convenient location, usually your home, and provide a range of services. This means appointments are often more comfortable and relaxing, and it gives you a huge range of flexibility when it comes to finding an appointment slot. Here are the top reasons why mobile hairdressing is becoming more popular.
Lower costs
As a mobile hairstylist, you can significantly reduce your rent and utility costs. Moreover, you get to keep all of the money that clients pay, as opposed to working in a salon where the owner gets a cut. However, keep in mind that the majority of consumers will require you to supply your own equipment which you will need to bring with you. When calculating your charges, you must take into account the time and transportation costs that it will take for you to travel from house to house.
More profitable
Lower costs often mean more profitability. This means that you can spend your extra profits and reinvest this into the business by buying higher-quality equipment. This could be anything from a new pair of hairdressing scissors to specialist tools required for trending new hair treatments.
Higher customer retention
You probably already know this, but a lot of individuals confide in their hairdresser. To welcome a hairdresser into your house, though, requires much more trust. You can develop even stronger bonds with clients as a mobile stylist by getting to know their families and pets as you go! Including a genuine social component into your work could increase the personal satisfaction of your career and improve retention and referral rates.
Flexibility
Being a hairdresser is a difficult career that frequently requires long periods of standing. As a mobile hairstylist, you may go at your own pace and choose your own hours. For instance, you can work in the mornings and evenings to accommodate your customers’ busy schedules and enjoy mid day off to run errands.
High demand
More people may choose to book with a mobile hairdresser due to it being more convenient and stress-free. This can suit the lifestyle of higher paying clients, in which you could look to charge more money for your services. Not only this but as a mobile hairdresser you are able to cater to a larger variety of events, including weddings, birthdays and anniversary parties. This can give you a niche to specialise in, further providing extra income potential.
