For on-location services, please ensure there is a clean, well-lit space available—kitchens or large bathrooms are usually best for lighting and space. If you have a large bathroom where I can move around behind my chair, that will work perfectly. For hair services, a regular chair is required, and tables must be waist-high at a minimum. These requirements help me work efficiently and deliver the best possible results.
