Mobile Hair Washing
Mobile Hair Washing
Offer a service to those who can no longer wash their own hair. Include a 10-minute head massage as well. You could charge $20 per washing. Charge an extra $10 for a head massage.
If you are aware of a need, fill it! We have a large group of baby-boomers that are reaching their late 50s and early 60s, with millions more to follow. Offer to wash people's hair for them in their homes. It can cost quite a bit of money to regularly visit a salon when you really don't need a trim or styling.
Why not offer to only wash the customers' hair for them and if they would like one, offer to give them a 10-minute head massage for an extra charge. You could charge $20 per washing and charge an extra $10 for a head massage.
There are many options you have with this type of business, to travel to customers' homes to offer this service or offer it in a salon setting. If you already work in a salon, you could offer this service with your many other services. You might also be able to rent a space in a salon to offer just a hair washing service. You can make much more money though if you choose to visit people in their homes and offer your service, you just need to make sure that you have the proper facilities to accomplish the hair washing.
If choosing to offer this service in the privacy of homes, you will need to carry some sort of special chair or special washbasin or attachment for a sink basin. Some homes may already have a comfortable way to wash hair, but if not, you need to be prepared with items that you can make your hair washing work successfully in different homes. Even an attachable hose sprayer might be helpful for some.
If you are able to make the investment, and are planning a full time business experience, the ultimate situation would be to own, and use a small recreation vehicle (RV) that has a salon chair and sink installed in it. You could drive your salon up to your customers' residence to wash their hair for them. Just make sure that access to the RV is not difficult for them. It might require you to install a lift for them also, so they can comfortably enter the vehicle.
This service will appeal to many people that are having trouble washing their hair on their own. So look in areas of your community that would welcome this special service, like retirement housing, convalescent communities, housing for the disabled, etc. These would be the areas to target with the advertising of your services. You might also offer your services in a gift certificate form; this could be purchased as a special gift from someone that cares.
Word of mouth advertising can be the best also. Offer your customers a free head massage after their wash, for each person referred to you by them. It could be surprising how many free massages you will be giving and new customers loving your services you will have all of a sudden.
This could be a great full-time business idea if you choose or a great part-time business idea if you need an extra income. Mobile hair washing could be a profitable business idea worth your time and effort. You will more than likely meet many new nice people too!
