Hi I am new to this site and also about to start out mobile doing a whole range of beauty treatments. I have a spare room as well which I am going to make available for clients who would prefer to come to me. I need advice and lots of it please! Where's best to buy my salon equipment from? What kind of therapy bed should I go for? For the likes of a hot towel cabinet, can you get one small enough to go portable? I know that's a lot of questions so I really would appreciate any feedback at all thanks! Also any tips on drumming up business and getting my name out there, I need the work to buy the equipment and I need they first few clients to make a great impression on to start word of mouth. Thanks in advance for your help.
Starting out mobile need lots of advice please!

My only advice is that if you've got a room, then don't do mobile.
I did it for 4 months and have just converted a room at home to work from, it's so much easier, treatments are quicker, you can book more appointments in, it's saved my poor back, and most importantly I haven't lost any existing regular clients - all of them are now happy to come to me.

Mobile takes a while to establish and you need to think of the equipment you're carting around. You won't want to carry anything extra, like a hot towel container, as it's just a complete pain.
I think you'll struggle to claw back the money quickly to pay for more courses/equipment. You might be better training in a few popular treatments, advertising those then add some more later.
