Hairdresser at home: how to book and prepare

Which hairdressing services you can request at home, how to prepare the space and the visit and what to tell the stylist about your hair.

2 min read ·

A cut, an event hairstyle or a colour change without leaving home: a hairdresser at home saves time and suits families, people with limited mobility or guests in a holiday rental.

What you can request

Cuts for women, men and children, styling and updos, colouring and highlights, hair treatments, and hair and make-up for weddings or events. State the exact service in the request and, if you have a specific idea, add an inspiration photo.

How to prepare the space

The stylist needs a place with good natural or artificial light, a comfortable chair, a mirror and a nearby socket. For colouring, a room with a sink close by and an easy-to-clean floor is better. Keep towels at hand and mention stairs.

What to tell them about your hair

Give the length, the type (straight, curly, oily, dry), whether it is dyed or chemically treated and the result you want. Mention allergies to colouring products or earlier reactions: it matters for your safety and for choosing suitable products.

Events and weddings

For an event hairstyle, book ahead and plan the time so it finishes with a margin before you leave. If it is for several people, request it together and say how many to estimate the time needed.

How to describe the service to get accurate offers

State the type of service, the number of people, the date and the time you need to be ready. If you want colour or highlights, say so from the start, as they take longer.

What to expect

The stylist arrives with their equipment, works to your instructions and leaves the area tidy. You agree the price before paying and the payment is only released when you confirm the service. To see all beauty services at home, read our guide to booking a hairdresser, nails and massage at home.
