Hi ladies,
I've been mobile for almost 20 years now, and I could go on all night about dos and donts but will try to give a few helpful tips
DO Have a separate work mobile and never give out your private one or home number, took me 19 years to sort that one out and it's the best thing to date.
I've got the comfy wash and my clients luv it.
Lay down rules from the start ie hours you work and prices
Try to get to areas on certain days, and it's amazing when you don't give clients a choice how much they bend to suit you.
Have professional price lists, mine used to include terms and conditions
I always cover clients surfaces with towels when colouring. I used to put a sheet down but you'll find when you're back to back with appointments you can't empty it anywhere! Kids and pets walk on it and spill things on it, then it look hairy and dirty and that doesn't look good. I now will only do hair in the kitchen as it's far more practical with work surfaces, plug sockets and generally no carpet.
I've now progressed to a card machine, and a friend of mine designed my branding and I also had a website built, properly not done by myself, but they are things I have invested in lately as I rebranded and retrained in extra services to offer.
Can't think of anything else, please feel free to PM me if I can bore you with anymore details lol!
