A mobile hairdresser is a hairdressing professional who works on the premises of a beauty shop or hair salon. There are important instances when a hair service is required inside the comforts of a home or a house like a wedding since it would be inconvenient for a bride to travel to a beauty salon to get her hair fixed and her makeup done then travel back to her home to wear her wedding gown. For reasons such as this, it is the hair dresser who travels to the home in order to render his or her professional service to clients and customers, thus mobile hairdresser. Aside from homes, mobile hairdressing services may be required in armed forces, hospitals, prisons and other public services.

All hairdressers, mobile and salon hairdressers alike, are required to have the proper personal qualities and skills in order to succeed. Whatever style a hairdresser can do inside a hair salon, mobile hairdressers should also be able to do in whatever places. The ability to be able to use the hands effectively and safely to sculpture the hair and afford the perfect looks for a certain customer is necessary along with the enthusiasm to learn new things. A mobile hairdresser needs to be extra careful, adept and equipped with all the necessities needed such as tools and materials, in providing their services outside a salon. When servicing in a house or anywhere he may be called to render his expertise, he or she must bring along not only the pair of scissors and comb to cut hair but all necessary tools for whatever hairstyling processes like curling/flat iron, blow dryers, wash basins, etc. These materials and tools must also be clean and sanitized at all times.

Likewise, the wearing the appropriate clothing that are as well clean is also essential to reflect your professionalism. Mobile hairdressers should be presentable with neat and appropriate hairstyles, hands, face, teeth and hands just as you would working on the premises of a salon. It must be remembered in all possible ways that the customer will begin to assess the hairdresser’s competence at the moment he or she enters the vicinity of the house. Since traveling is involved in a mobile hairdressing, therefore it is recommended that he or she has to have a car or vehicle of his or her own. While commuting may be an option, it is quite convenient to travel in your own car considering that there are various and many tools to be carried to the location of service and also for the mobile hairdresser to reach the destination quickly. In addition to a vehicle, a driving license is of course essential as well as his hairdressing certification or operating license.

Any hairdresser may choose to provide mobile services and wherever he or she goes. The mobile hairdresser is expected to fulfill a clients duty and desired look. Sometimes they even provide mobile makeup services.Most clients ask suggestions from a hairdresser on what hairstyle or make up will best suit them. So a mobile hairdresser should also be ready and prepared to recommend the perfect hairdos and make-up to accentuate and compliment the natural beauty and looks of the customers.
