If you are a hairdresser or are thinking of becoming a hairdresser you could work out of your home. Many people are successful as a hairdresser working from home.

Reasons to cut hair, give permanents, color hair, style hair, etc., from home:

No driving time wasted
No gas money to spend
Save on vehicle wear and tear
Make your own hours
No need to hire a babysitter if your children are capable of staying unsupervised in another area of the house but know you are available if needed
Use a room for a business tax deduction

To start up your business:
Designate a room in your house to run your business. Buy a comfortable chair, rollers, permanent brand(s), curlers, combs, scissors, etc. that you like to use. Paint the room to look like a comfortable salon or comforting spa. You may want to have a shelf in the hairdresser room to sell products. Product selling is a profitable part of your business. Use the shampoo and conditioner you will be selling for your clients to purchase when you wash your clients hair before a haircut. Some clients will want to buy the same shampoo as they like the smell and the way their hair feels after you have washed and/or conditioned it.

You may want to sell a line of nail polish and possibly paint fingernails as part of your business. Or you may opt to hire a part-time employee that can paint nails out of your home, too. This will make your business more people friendly when you have more than one service offered. Also, you or the employee can sell the nail polish he or she uses on the clients. OPI is a famous and trusted brand of nail polish that many women like.

By becoming a hairdresser with your own home business you will save money by not having to rent a chair from a business. For more information please visit: http://www.preparednessmentor.com/.
