Hair Extensions On The Move
Hair Extensions on the Move
Women always seem to want longer, thicker hair, especially for special occasions. Offer a hair extension service where you travel to their homes to put the extensions in. You should charge about $50 or more- per person/visit.
What a wonderful service to offer women, coming to them to attach hair extensions and make them feel more beautiful. Offering to help women avoid those miserable bad hair days would be such a popular 'business idea' to take on, especially if you are skilled at accomplishing this service.
Don't you agree that most women always seem to want longer or thicker hair, especially for special occasions? Offer your services by appointment and make sure that you charge a reasonable fee that will include any transportation expenses that you will acquire. The longer you have to travel to them, the more you will have to charge, remember this when you decide how far you will be willing to travel. Also, take into account that your time is money, whether you are attaching hair or traveling.
A nice thing about offering a service like this is that your transportation vehicle will fit into a category on your taxes at the end of the year that should be deductible. It sometimes is better financially to lease a vehicle to use for business, than buying. (Check with a tax expert or accountant on the details.) Remember, when making a decision on a vehicle to use for your business; you will need to carry all of your supplies with you, including many different types of extensions just in case your customer decides to go with something new and different. You want to be prepared to offer multiple colors, lengths, and ways of attaching.
This service should grow quickly by word-of-mouth, but to get started you could also advertise in your local newspaper or in local beauty supply stores. If you can find salons that don't offer hair extension services, see if you can get them to refer their customers to you. (Just offer them a certain percentage of your first service with their customers and they should be happy to do it.) Make sure that you have some good pictures in a portfolio to show the shopkeepers your skills, and even a few letters of customer testimonials of your services.
You should be able to charge about $50 per person for your services. The best way to decide on your charge is by checking your local area, by calling salons and asking what they charge. When you decide on a charge, remember that you can add a little more because of the fact that you are offering to come to them to provide your service. This is an added luxury that you are offering them, and most people are willing to pay more for that.
To be successful with a 'business idea' like this one, it really is important that you master the skills you are offering. You should enjoy working with people also, this is a great asset when providing a service, and it assures you of a successful business. Make it a fun experience to have you come by and make your customers beautiful and happy.
Offer your pleased customers a discount on their next visit if they refer a friend that also pays for your services. This is a great way to keep getting new customers. The discount is just enough motivation for your customers to speak up when talking to friends and workers.
A side point on this; since your customers will be required to sit for a while, to get these extensions, you could have a partner that could offer to do pedicures and manicures at the same time. You could travel together and share the traveling expenses. As long as you are friends and get along well this could be a fun addition and make your services even more appealing.
