Mobile Hairdressing is the Next Big Industry

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

The next big industry to receive a major disruption thanks to the tech boom might be right in front of your face.

Hairstylists and makeup artists are bailing from the long hours and low pay of salon life to start their own company and Mobile Hairdressers, a website that advertises qualified hairdressers and makeup artists and connects them to customers.

“I started Mobile Hairdressers to help talented hairstylists open their own businesses or grow their client base in the mobile space,” says Mobile Hairdressers founder Avelyn Mellington. “Theres such a huge demand for mobile hairdressers so by providing hairdressers with nearby clients, my website allows them to focus on doing the work.”

Mellington, tech entrepreneur, realized that the hairstyle and beauty industry was ripe for modernization after a extensive market research and working closely with hairdressers and understanding their frustrations in the industry as well as market demand. 

“I speak to a lot of hairdressers and makeup artists who are simply not happy with the way they are treated in the salon and how much they are paid,” says Mellington. “Meanwhile, there are consumers out there like busy mums or corporate travellers who need a hairdresser but simply don’t have the time to sit in line for a salon appointment.”

Mellington’s solution was Mobile Hairdressers, a website that pairs these two elements together. Clients can select hairdressers in their area after a simple search and get a quote from a qualified stylist through the site. From there, qualified hairstylists and makeup artists meet the clients at the agreed-upon address.

“For us, the biggest thing is quality – we make sure that all of the hairdressers on our site are licensed, insured and qualified to ensure the quality work,” says Mellington. “There are lots of hairdressers out there who undercut the market by selling their services cheap and advertising their trade on buy swap sell sites – that’s not what we’re doing here. We’re providing high quality hairdressers with access to clients who want to look great, you pay for what you get. We’ve had customers come to us in tears, begging us to fix their hair because they booked a hairdresser from a discount website.”

Mobile Hairdressers is currently filling appointments in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Northern Beaches, Sunshine Coast, Perth and Gold Coast. Stylists who wish to join the site as Mobile Hairdressers can email us at enquiries@mobilehairdressers.net.au to see if you qualify.

How Kylie Jenner Built an Empire & Made MILLIONS, All Before Age 21

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

kylie jenner lip kits

Success certainly has its charms. We all know and want it just as much as the next person. It is equally appealing as is it difficult to get, and some would say only the very luckiest of people will ever have the chance to make it BIG. However one idea, hard work and some money is all that it takes for some people. Reality star Kylie Jenner, was merely a ten-year-old child when she debuted in her family’s reality TV show and had no idea that her life will take such a quick turn in the finance, fame and cosmetic looks department. It all started with her infinite love for lipsticks ever since she was a child. The money she had been saving up for about ten years from her family reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians. 

Talk about taking the right steps at the right time. She put her investment and her dream to make interesting and commercial lipsticks or should i say “lip kits” and all the other cosmetics that are used add to her range and growing bank balance.

Initially, Kylie only put a lip kit out to the market but much to her surprise, the first wave of the online selling crashed the website and made over $300 Million sales in the first year. The product only consisted of matching lip liners and interesting lip shades which is why she named her company Kylie Lip Kip but later after two years of such incredible sales and an exponential fan base, she turned the brand name into Kylie Cosmetics finally looking forward to doing more makeup products for the future. All of this fame and success had a couple of things behind it, her fame ever since she was a child and the right people to help her through i.e. her family. She has her mom Kris Jenner as her manager and she uses the term “momager” for her mom who gets paid 10% of her total income.

But the questions stands how did she manage to create a massive empire all through just one cosmetic product such as a lip kit? Here’s is how she made it on the cover of Forbes a year after her brand blew up the internet at the age of just 21. 

1. The Power of Social Media

Over the years, all Kylie did was maintain an incredible personality on Instagram and Snapchat. Yes, it is unbelievable but that is all she did for the most part. Currently, she has 121.3 million followers on Instagram making her the land on number 8 in the list of top ten most followed accounts on Instagram.

2. Fame From Debut Years 

Using her family fame brought to her through a TV reality show called Keeping Up With The Kardashians as leverage allowed her to become known world wide from a super young age which gave her a lot of time to gain the trust and admiration of her fans and followers over the years allowing them to see how fast and beautiful she has grown. 

3. Fan Base & Honesty 

With her huge fan base straight from Instagram and Snapchat only did she manage to land a very surprising rate of sales on the first release. However, she took the honest way out and later admitted to having used lip fillers so she could model for her self-made product of lip kits and now other cosmetics too which only showed her dedication to working hard to make high-end quality products for her fans and follower internationally. No one minded since it has become more mainstream to use minor facial surgeries and it only enhanced her looks making her appear prettier than ever. 

Not every teen at the age of just 20 has 215,000 million in their pocket but it is easy to lose such money especially when you are young and rich. However, Kylie Jenner put her long forgotten dream into reality with all the right tactics and finally becoming one of the youngest entrepreneurs in the world.

If you would like to purchase some of Kylie Jenners product, you can head over to her online shop here as she’s about to launch her Christmas collection.

What Really Happens If I don’t Wash Off My Makeup?

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

In the modern world where life has become too much busy, taking out time to pamper yourself seems to be an illusion. Many women wish to look admirably attractive all through the day and for that they get several beauty treatments and apply high quality makeup too but till night they become too tired that cleansing off the makeup seems to be an unnecessary task. The habit of not washing off your makeup at night before sleeping is not a good at all. Here we will share all that can happen to your skin if you become lazy enough to not to clean off the makeup before crashing into the bed at night.

Impact of Makeup over your skin at night

Although the high-quality makeup such as foundation, compact powder, concealor, mascara, eye liner, lip colors and many more such objects instantly enhance your facial beauty and charms. But, the prolonged use of these products can have a strong negative impact over your skin. The products such as foundation and BB creams are skin perfecters and provide coverage to your skin. In simple words, they clog your pores and prolonged application of these products can harm your skin.

Cause Breakouts:
After spending a busy day outside in makeup if you sleep with it over your face, the dust, oil and pollutants get mixed with it. The result is severe clogging of the skin pores that makes it less breathable and more prone to the skin allergies and breakout.

Make Your Skin Prone to Skin Problems:
Many of skin problems occur because we don’t bother to do proper cleansing of the skin before going to sleep. The skin had been exposed to dust, pollution and germs all through the day. These skin harming things get mixed up with the makeup and make your skin ready to get allergic reactions and acne.

Make Your Skin Go Dry and Dull:
Do you notice dryness over your skin and dull complexion! This is caused by sleeping with makeup over your skin. The foundation and all other makeup products gather in skin’s fine lines and enhance their appearance. It can cause to premature aging and wrinkling your skin too. The dead cells of the skin get settled with left over makeup residue and play havoc to the texture and natural suppleness of your skin.

Should I Get My Makeup Done for A First Date?

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

When it comes to first dates, a lot can go potentially wrong than right! It could be the day you finally meet the person you’d end up spending the rest of your life with or you can learn a dating lesson for the rest of your life. Either way, your first date would forever be a part of your memory box. And, while there is a lot you can’t control in a first date – having instant fire and spark with your date, for instance; still there are things you can do to keep things in order.

Getting your makeup and hair done for a first date is one of those things. First impressions play a significant role in setting the tone and mode for the rest of your evening. And, if you aren’t sure what sort of makeup and hair would compliment you the best, just leave it to the professional. Even if you like to think you are a simple and natural girl, remember, it takes effort to look and keep lovely!

Achieving the perfect no-makeup makeup look for a first date might not be easier for you on your own if you’re not a pro! Your foundation can look caked up if you apply too much; or your scars and acne may peek through if you apply a little too much. Over contouring your features may look visible and unflattering. Besides, if you don’t know what sort of lighting would be in the restaurant where you’re going for your first date, selecting the finish of your powder and foundation could be harder than you think.

But, when you let a professional take care of your makeup for a first date, they work in thin layers to make sure you get enough coverage only on the places required. No caking, no breaking out. Pros need how to blend in your eyeshadows, contour, bronzer, blush and lip color in perfect harmony together that you look effortlessly chic and groomed rather than being artificially made up for a casual date night.

Besides, getting your hair done professionally for a first date inculcates oodles of confidence in you. When professional stylists do your hair, they just don’t pull out a trending hairstyle from instagram. Instead, they pick something to flatter and suit your face cut and length, texture and volume. We strongly recommend getting your makeup and hair done professionally for a first date. If nothing, at least you’ll get a chance to pamper yourself.
