The salon comes to your sofa.
Cuts, colour and blow dries at home across Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire, from St Neots and Huntingdon to Bedford and Cambridge. Evenings and Saturdays included.
Four steps, no faff.
- 01
Pick the home visit
Choose your treatment on the booking page, then say yes when it asks if you would like me to come to you. Enter your postcode and you will see the call-out fee straight away. Add your address and anything I should know about your hair.
- 02
I bring the kit
Dryer, straighteners and tongs, colour and foils, towels and gowns. You need a plug socket, a chair and a sink I can rinse at.
- 03
Consultation first
Ten minutes talking about what you want and what your hair will do before a drop of colour goes anywhere.
- 04
Done, tidied, gone
I clear up after myself, book you in for next time if you like, and you never left the house.
Two counties, from Yelling out.
- St Neots
- Huntingdon
- St Ives
- Cambourne
- Papworth Everard
- Godmanchester
- Buckden
- Eaton Socon
- Cambridge
- Bedford
- Sandy
- Biggleswade
Those are the regular ones. The rule is simply anywhere within roughly a 30 to 40 minute drive from Yelling. Somewhere else? Ask, because colour appointments and group bookings are worth the extra miles.
Everything on the services list travels, including foils, balayage and keratin. Each of the main towns has its own page with the villages, the drive and the practical bits for that side of the patch: St Neots, Huntingdon and Godmanchester, St Ives, Cambourne and Papworth, Cambridge, Bedford, and Sandy and Biggleswade. Booking for a parent? There is a page on home visits for older and housebound clients. Prefer to come to me? The home salon in Yelling is five minutes off the A428. Read the reviews or get in touch if you have a question first.
Everything a salon has, in the boot of the car.
Everything except the water comes with me: a professional dryer, straighteners and tongs, the full colour kit including foils, lightener and toners, sectioning clips, towels, gowns and a dustpan, and the same Wella, Moroccanoil and Olaplex products I use in the home salon in Yelling. Nothing gets downgraded because the appointment is at your house.
That means the whole services list travels. Half, three-quarter and full head foils, balayage, toners and colour refreshes. Keratin and smoothing treatments. Olaplex and mask treatments. Cuts for the whole family, men’s perms and flow cuts, occasion hair and up-dos. Brows, lashes, waxing and facials, which a lot of clients add to the same visit so they only have to be at home once.
From you I need a chair, a plug socket, a bit of floor space and a sink or shower I can rinse at. The kitchen is usually easiest, and a utility room or a bathroom works just as well. I sweep up before I leave.
Two practical things when you book. After you pick your treatment, say yes to a home visit and enter your postcode, which is what tells me to come to you. And there is a call-out charge on top of the service price, from £12.50 near Yelling up to £35 beyond 20 miles, shown before you book. It covers fuel, wear on the car and my time on the road, and home visits are for treatments of £35 or more.
Appointments run to the same times they would in a salon: about an hour for a wash, cut and blow dry, two to three hours for foils depending on how much hair you have. I give you an honest time when you book so you can plan the rest of the day. Evening and weekend slots are a normal part of the week rather than a favour, and they go first, so it is worth booking the next one before I leave.
If you are weighing it up against a salon, I have written about what a mobile hairdresser actually costs, why clients make the switch and exactly what happens during a first home visit. You can also read the reviews or ask me anything first.
Things people ask before their first home visit.
Where do you travel to?
The home salon is in Yelling, and I cover Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire: St Neots, Huntingdon, St Ives, Cambourne, Papworth Everard, Godmanchester, Buckden, Eaton Socon, Cambridge, Bedford, Sandy and Biggleswade, and anywhere else within roughly a 30 to 40 minute drive from Yelling. If you are a little further out, ask; I can usually make it work for colour or group bookings.
How do I book a home visit?
Book online on the services page. Pick your treatment, say yes when it asks if you would like me to come to you, and enter your postcode. The call-out charge is added there and then, you choose a time, and a deposit secures it.
Is there a call-out charge?
Yes, on top of the price of the service, and it goes up with distance from Yelling: £12.50 up to 7 miles, £18 up to 13 miles, £25 up to 20 miles and £35 beyond 20 miles. In practice that is £12.50 for St Neots, Cambourne and Huntingdon, £18 for Sandy, Biggleswade and most of Cambridge, and £25 for Bedford. It covers fuel, wear on the car and my time on the road, not just fuel. Home visits are for treatments of £35 or more. Enter your postcode when you book and you see the exact charge before you pay anything.
Can you do colour at home?
Yes. Foils, balayage, toners and colour refreshes all travel. You will need a skin test 48 hours before your first colour with me, which I can post or drop round.
Do you do group bookings?
Weddings, proms, birthdays and mother-and-daughter appointments are some of my favourites. Message me with numbers and a date.
What do I need to have ready?
A chair near a plug socket, a couple of towels, and a sink or shower I can rinse at. The kitchen sink is usually easiest. I bring everything else.
