Hi everyone, I'm currently awaiting my certificate for my level 2 in hairdressing, starting level 3 in September.
I've been thinking alot about which road I want to take in my career. After working in home care for 6 years I decided to make a career change. So given my experience in care for the elderly I also wanted to give them something for themselves which I think is what they deserve to make them feels good about themselves also look presentable (apologies if I haven't worded it correct). I want to specialise in hairdressing for the elderly, mobile based of course going to residential/care/ nursing homes, also clients homes. I understand that I will need a live dbs in place, insurance and good client list. I have many friends and ex colleagues who work in these sectors so Im positive they will recommend me.
I feel there isn't much call for hairdressers that specialise with the elderly. There are many salons and mobile hairdressers who cater for the younger and more mobile client and keeping up to date with the latest hair trends, also I have noticed that some hairdressers tend to charge the elderly quite a bit and I don't think this is fair, this is due to recent experience.
For anyone who specialises in hairdressing for the elderly, firstly what price list is reasonable, and what do you need along the legalities side of it, how do I register my business etc?
Very grateful for any help.
