Call it homestead-style beauty on a budget - haircuts, massages, even eyebrow-shaping without ever walking into a spa. Increasingly, beauty professionals are freelancing, coming to your home or having you to theirs for the same services they offer at salons. In this win-win situation, pros can charge less because they get the whole fee.
"I color, cut and style in my clients' apartments. I carry all of my products, all the equipment and get to work on them just like I would in a salon. And I even use their kitchen sink to rinse out their hair," says hairstylist Joey Sanders, who charges $45 for a cut and blow dry and $65 for color.
That's 20 percent less than at the salon where he works.
