• Hairdressing or barbering, especially cutting and blending
• Sensitive, discreet customer care
• Learning to apply systems through specialist training
• Appointment and stock management

• Public liability insurance, plus cover that includes the products and adhesives you use (check with your insurer)
• Patch tests for adhesives and products, and a clear record of allergies and skin conditions
• Check with your local council whether your premises or treatments need registration or a licence, as rules vary

• Keep client data and photos safe and get clear written consent (UK GDPR)

Startup costs are estimates, typically around £2,000 to £8,000, depending on your room, products and specialist training. Public liability insurance that covers the products and adhesives you use is worth checking with your insurer.

Monthly revenue is an estimate, typically around £1,000 to £5,000, depending on how many clients you see and how regular their maintenance visits are. You could start from around 15 hours a week.

Check public liability insurance covering your products and adhesives, patch tests for adhesives, and whether your local council requires registration or a licence for your premises or treatments. Check the suitability of rented or home premises, and UK GDPR consent for client data and photos.
