Bad hair day? Call Hair on Wheels!

Beauty salons have gone mobile. The Beauty Bus and Hair on Wheels operate out of Richmond, VA, while another (unrelated) Hair on Wheels has been serving clients in Denver for a number of years.

These businesses serve one area, but with some modifications, this is a possible business for the road. Two hurdles would need to be surmounted:

The main drawback is state licensing, but you could get reciprocal licenses in several states.

The other necessity would be either modifications to your RV or portable equipment. The two Richmond businesses modified their RV to include the salon, while the Denver service requires a room to set up in rather than provide services in the RV.

With permission from the owner, you could set up business at RV parks as you travel. Or, you could travel to outlying areas and set up shop — perhaps on a regular circuit in states where you are licensed.

Think outside the box! Do you have a service you could offer as you travel? Jaimie
