How Does a Mobile Hair Salon Owner Spend a Workday?

Client Appointments

The major part of a mobile salon owner's work day is being a hairdresser and doing her clients' hair. Of course, that entails keeping her appointments and going to her clients' houses. Depending on her specialty, that could include any number of perms, haircuts, braids, bridal party hairdos and colorings per day. The key is being organized and allotting enough time for appointments and between appointments to ensure that she gets to the next client on time and keeps everyone happy. Her success is based on happy, loyal clients who will keep wanting her to come again.

Soliciting New Business

Depending on how busy a mobile salon owner is or how many loyal clients she has, she will spend some time soliciting new business. This could be in the form of traditional advertising and marketing or seeking referrals from existing clients, friends and family, or other forms of networking.

Other Duties

Like every business owner, the mobile salon owner sets aside time for dealing with the administrative tasks that come with owning a business, especially keeping proper records, accounting and scheduling. The mobile salon owner also needs to make time for shopping and stocking up on supplies such as hair treatments, creams, extensions and other renewables needed in the day-to-day operations of the business.
