First official day as a mobile stylist!

[JWHairdressing]

Hey guys so I’ve recently left my salon job of 7 years - I’ve been doing bits mobile but I’m interested in learning more about mobile. Tomorrow is my first official day! Yay!
Does anyone have any must have tips or advice - I like to think I’m pretty organised but I’m aways open to other people’s thoughts

Being well organised is really important so it sounds like you’re already well on the way to success.

My tips include:
keep a checklist of what you need that you can tick off as you pack your car.
Update your records daily. It’s much easier than leaving it and then trying to catch up later. So - client records, colour and products inventory, log invoices, monies in and out, etc. It doesn’t have to be complicated, keep it simple.

Put down a plastic sheet to protect their floors
Lots of xtra towels

Professional kit laid out nicely, covering their tables and things you use that they own. Although not earning over 85k for tax purposes, you should keep every bit of money organised of what you have made etc. Prepare for the unexpected and clients maybe wanting the polar opposite of what you originally discussed.

£85k is for VAT - it’s around £11k for Tax
