What Affects the Cost?

Mobile hairdresser pricing in Edinburgh depends on several factors: the type of service (cuts are cheaper than colour treatments), hair length and thickness, product quality and brand used, travel time within Edinburgh, and the hairdresser's experience level. Specialised treatments like balayage or perms command higher prices. Some mobile hairdressers charge travel fees for distant locations within the city or may require minimum appointments. Early morning or evening appointments may incur surcharges.

Money-Saving Tips

Book appointments during off-peak times (mid-week, daytime) for potential discounts. Combine multiple services in one visit to maximise value. Ask about loyalty discounts for regular clients or bundle deals. Maintain your hair between appointments with good products to extend the life of colour and perms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do mobile hairdressers charge extra for travel in Edinburgh?

Most mobile hairdressers in Edinburgh include travel within central and inner-city areas in their quoted price. However, some may charge £5-£10 for outer suburbs or postcodes further from their base. Always confirm travel charges when booking.

Is the price the same for curly and straight hair?

Pricing is usually based on hair length rather than type, though curly hair may take slightly longer to cut. More complex cutting techniques or specialised treatments for curly hair (like perming or specialist styling) may incur additional costs. Discuss your hair type when booking.

What's the difference between salon and mobile hairdressing prices?

Mobile hairdressing is typically 10-20% cheaper than salon prices in Edinburgh because overheads are lower. You also save travel time and petrol to a salon. However, specialised treatments or premium products may cost the same or slightly more.

Do I need to provide any equipment or space?

Yes, you'll need a comfortable chair with good lighting and a nearby sink or water source. Most mobile hairdressers bring their own cape, towels, and trolley. Ensure you have adequate space—typically a kitchen table or bathroom is sufficient.
