How To Cut It in the Hairdressing Industry

EP040: Phil Benton – A Mobile Salon That Works for Lifestyle and Clients


Listen Later

Today I have a guest who's a adopted a unique mobile salon business, that offers both working lifestyle choice and freedom. Curious? Then listen in to my interview with Phil Benton, owner of Douce, a 1962 Airstream Globetrotter trailer travelling it's way around Cambridge and London.

I'm a big fan of what Phil has created. This quirky silver mobile cabin houses two chairs and is open from dawn to dusk. Regularly pitching up at festivals, craft fairs, pub car parks and buisness parks, Douce offers contemporary hair cutting and styling services for it's punters. How damn cool is that!

Phil talks openly in this episode on why he adopted this way for owning his own salon, the difficulties that he faced in finding and fitting out his Airstream Globetrotter, and why he's just loving the way that he's now working!

Today Phil is going to be sharing how being mobile has enabled him to be free and create a flexible brand able to collaborate and work anywhere in the world. It's that inspiring that you might even want to come back for a second or third listen so that you don't miss a single thing. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
