This summer, bring the salon experience to your home

With residents reluctant to step out in the heat, stylists who bring grooming services to the doorstep are in demand

Most of us often spend quite a bit of time waiting restlessly at a salon for various services. What if they were rendered at your doorstep?

With summer at its peak, many residents would rather stay at home than venture outside for any grooming service.

It is possible to provide services at a lesser price since there is no major investment required, says 33-year-old John Sathya who runs a mobile salon ‘Styles N’ Smiles’. “The prices I offer are at least 20 per cent less than the branded salons in the city. I didn’t have to pay a hefty sum as a franchisee or rent. I just work out of my house,” he says.

He has employed four stylists who go to the customers’ residences and offer services. “I have created a Facebook page and spread the word through it. Business is picking up,” he adds.

28-year-old E. Thulasi, a gym and boxing trainer, says: “I am far happier getting a haircut done at home than a parlour primarily because I do not have to have to step out in the sun and then, wait for at least half-an-hour at the parlour. Whereas with mobile salons, stylists come home at a time that is convenient for you. I find that the services, most often, are cheaper than the branded salons.”

If stepping out in the searing heat and the traffic congestion is not your cup of tea, a mobile salon might just be the thing for you. http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/this-summer-bring-your-salon-experience-home/article7168401.ece
