Key Takeaways
The beauty pro business world is always evolving–to stay ahead, you can evolve along with it. If you've ever thought about becoming a mobile beauty pro, this summer could be the perfect time to dive in headfirst. This article will outline the how and the why behind starting your own mobile beauty pro biz.
Why You Should Start a Mobile Beauty Biz This Summer
People Are Traveling
Summer is the season of tourism. If you live in an area with any degree of tourism, this means that new faces will be flooding your town, and they will require your services. As a mobile beauty pro, you are in a unique position to meet them where they are without disrupting their vacation. From meeting them at their bed and breakfast or hotel to arranging a spot that is convenient for their day’s activities, your flexibility allows them to live their best summer life in style.
Alternatively, you can go to where the tourists are.
If your town doesn’t attract many visitors, you can always pack up your mobile beauty biz and head to where the action is. Remember, if you cross state lines, you’ll want to ensure your certifications have reciprocity or secure multi-state certification before going.
Festivals Galore
People come from far and wide to attend summer festivals. Whether it’s music festivals or another exciting activity that draws people together, these events often inspire creative looks that require the attention of a beauty pro. Stay informed about which festivals are occurring near you, and then make sure your mobile beauty biz is advertised appropriately to reach attendees.
Aside from the clients you’re bound to help this coming summer, summer festivals present a unique opportunity–if you become an established name in the festival world, there’s a good chance you’ll be an in-demand mobile beauty pro in the future.
Word-of-mouth advertising is extremely strong in the festival circuit; all you have to do is get your foot in the door.
Outdoor Events
Festivals aren’t the only popular events that take place in the summer. People want to take advantage of the warmer weather and embrace the summer lifestyle, making outdoor events of all kinds ubiquitous with the season.
From athletic events and industry expos to farmer’s markets and city-wide celebrations, the summer season is brimming with good times and opportunities for a mobile beauty pro. Whether you’re offering on-site services for those wanting to look their best at a particular happening or you’re setting up your business at the local farmer’s market every week, identifying outdoor events as opportunities and finding ways to get involved can rapidly grow your mobile beauty biz.
Love is in the Air
Summer is the season of romance. Love is in the air, and the days seem sunny and bright. From young love and summer flings to engagements and weddings, summer is simply overflowing with sappy feelings and beautiful love stories.
As a mobile beauty pro, you can help these love birds look and feel their best as they immerse themselves in the overwhelming aura of their romantic emotions and experiences.
Summer weddings are particularly intriguing to mobile beauty pros, as they almost always require on-site beauty services. From helping the bridesmaids look their best to ensuring the couple of the hour are as brilliant as the summer sun, your expertise has never been more necessary. Thanks to your flexibility as a mobile beauty pro, you can set up at the venue, perform touch-ups during the photoshoots, and otherwise be there to help with any beauty emergencies as the events unfold.
As a bonus, you get to play an integral role in someone’s love story. That’s a special feeling!
Starting your mobile beauty biz can be intimidating. While there are more factors to consider than just when to start your new venture, this decision is one of the most crucial you will make. The right timing could provide the boost you need to enjoy instant success.
