As a freelance hair stylist, your job is to provide mobile hair care services for a client. To accomplish this, you may cut, color, style, and shampoo hair to their specifications. Freelance hair stylists often work with non-salon businesses, such as photographers, television shows, or movie production companies. You can also work with traveling clients, such as a business executive attending a trade show or a touring performer. Outside of these high-profile events, freelance hair stylists sometimes go through underserved areas and provide professional care to people who don't have easy access to stylists.
