I started my home salon just after I qualified in beauty, added nails about 3 months later when I finished my nail training. Two years later I still work from home but have expanded, now have two treatment rooms, a tanning room, nail area and one other part time therapist

I work in an office part time while my home based salon gets off the ground too.Im also ex airline crew but cabin crew for 5 years. loved it but have always kept my hand in with doing treatments. It's surprising how many crew members eye brow shapes you can do on a night flight. lol

Over the last 10 years I have worked in spa's/salons and have been mobile for some of that time. I now have a home based beauty studio at the end of my garden, its not huge but its perfact for me and I love it!

Mobile for me and I love it...time consuming and hard work but i wouldnt change it, I love the fact it is so unpredictable and that no week is ever the same, love my clients and my job. I do the odd treatment at home but only if I know the person as its not a salon its my family home living room lol xxxx

so lots of geeks with home salons then. I currently do mobile and work from home however was starting to get disheartened with it trying to work round the baby can only do evenings and weekends at the moment had a disaster last week when partner wasnt home form work put baby to bed just after 7 but he wasnt well so projectile vomited all over me, bed, carpet, walls everywhere! 15 mins before client due to arrive! luckily it was a friend and so it worked out ok but new client couldve been disaster. so its nice to see so many people successfully working from home. would hate to give up what i love doing.
