Sep 2010 Often it can be inconvenient for you to get to a salon to get your hair done. Maybe you are a working parent and do not have the time. For the elderly or disabled who are not able to make it into town this can provide the opportunity for them to get their hair styled without the inconvenience of finding some way of travelling into the city centre.

There are also other advantages to employing the services of mobile Nottingham hairdressers. Nottingham residents living on the outskirts of the city and who do not drive are able to save themselves the cost of public transport in getting to the salon. You also avoid the annoying waiting times that you can be faced with when going to the hairdressers. A mobile Nottingham hairdresser will book an appointment time with you and you can make sure you are in. No waiting times and very convenient. This gives a more personal service that you can’t often get in a salon.

For the qualified hairdresser who wishes to go self employed without incurring the expense of renting a property to carry out your business, mobile hairdressing can be a lucrative business. While other hairdressers may be struggling with their rent and rates, the mobile Nottingham hairdresser can rest assured, safe in the knowledge that their overheads are minimal. In an economy that is struggling, with people not having as much money as they once had, the mobile hairdresser can still enjoy a successful business and a decent income. Their hair is an area where people are reluctant to cut spending, keeping the market alive even when the country is in financial troubles.

Mobile Nottingham hairdressers will preferably be qualified to NVQ level 3. This ensures they are properly trained in the theory as well as the practical aspects of their work. They can gain this qualification while they are working as an apprentice in a local salon, giving them the experience they need while they are training. Those working in salons will normally only study up to NVQ level 2 as at level 3 employers are reluctant to take them on as they want to be able to get them to do things their way rather than the methods they are taught in a college. If you are looking for a mobile hairdresser you will want them trained to level 3 as they will have all the necessary experience to style your hair however you choose.

Mobile hairdressers will advertise locally, they may not have huge budgets for this so if you can’t get any recommendations from friends or family take at look at the advertisement boards in newsagents and supermarkets. You may also try contacting existing salons where, if they don’t offer a mobile service themselves, will be able to recommend one to you.
