This was something I considered trying to start many years ago in Tennessee, but our state laws made it impossible. Check your state laws before considering this idea (from the UK):

“So Kerry came up with this idea to have a group of top-notch beauty therapists on hand who can travel to and from people’s houses in the north west including the swanky areas of Cheshire - a firm favourite for footballers’ wives. The service will have specialist nannies who will provide expert child care while mums are being preened.

This is a snip from an article from The Daily Northwestern about The Pivot Point International Academy, in Evanson, IL.  Pivot Point is the most widely taught haircutting method used by many, many cosmetology schools around the world:

Attending Pivot Point International Academy is not so cheap: its 10-month cosmetology program costs $16,000.

“It’s like the Harvard of cosmetology school,” 19-year-old student Amanda Reeves said, surrounded by high-end products by Redken, Harologi and Bioelements, snipping away with a $300 pair of shears.

Amy Cruz, Pivot Point’s clinic operations manager, said people come from all over the world to be one of its 275 students that study cosmetology and aesthetics at Pivot Point’s flagship school in Evanston. One student is from Hawaii and another is from Korea, she said.

Located on the second floor of the Rotary Center, 1560 Sherman Ave., the Pivot Point Student Clinic offers beauty care to everyone at bargain prices. All services are performed by unlicensed practitioners.

Pivot Point International Inc., with member schools worldwide, offers professional training to students interested in hair, nail and skin care.

The Evanston campus is the corporate world headquarters of Pivot Point, which was founded by Leo Passage, an immigrant to Chicago who became a world-famous cosmetology artist.

The academy’s curriculum is based on the philosophy of Bauhaus, a German school of design that encourages artistic experimentation.
