Im sticking to spray tanning, shellac and Lycon waxing. My hubby has made me a unit for back of car to carry waxpot in and i will heat it B4 i arrive and stick on as soon as im in house setting up.
I know what you mean about peoples houses but i will take a little 'pepper' spray and tell someone my itenerary etc..
Never know whos coming into your salon either? Ita always a chance i suppose.
Things you need to do before going mobile:
1) Buy a car. :lol: No sorry, seriously, buy a sat nav, a good one. Get as many details of the client's location as possible, i.e next to shops, or on second floor etc.
2) Blue tack all item you wish to remain upright, like bottles etc. into your trolley
3) Leave details of your appointment with a loved one, for safety.
4) Some people are just messy and dirty. Tell the client you need an area to work in, as they normally wait until you arrive before they bother to tidy their rubbish tip of a house. Ask in advance if they have an area for you to set up AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND ANIMALS. If Tiddles, Rover or Junior takes a swig of sanitiser or some such undrinkable liquid IT WILL BE YOUR FAULT. The client might be fine about it at the time, but when their other half gets home and they tell them, itll be another story. Then the next thing you know youve got a claim against you. It hasnt happened to me, but Ive read on here about therapists being harangued for damages caused by the clients negligence.
5) So on that note, get some good mobile therapist insurance.
6) Make sure the client knows how you want to be paid. If in cash, they need the money there to give to you after the treatment. I have been asked before to drive a client to a cash machine and drop her back home, because she had no money at home.
Hope that helps
