Home-based master

Legality

A sole proprietorship for regular work — mandatory (illegal income = fines+back taxes). Residential premises for services — technically allowed for small business, but sanitary norms are the same.

Sanitary norms

Separate zone/room, tool sterilization (autoclave/dry-heat/disinfectant), disposables, health record. Infection risk at home is real — follow the protocol.

Safety

Outcall: address+contact logged, second phone to a close person, call-out deposit. At home: separate entrance/zone, don't receive in living areas, intercom/video.

Documents

Sole proprietorship, health record, education certificates, POS terminal/RRO (for card payments — above threshold), client consent. Keeping a client card — your history in disputes.

Pricing

Home techs often underprice — wrongly: no rent means lower costs, but the price must hold professional level. Outcall — separate charge (travel+time).

Home to salon

Transition signs: 2+ week waitlist, 60%+ returning clients, income > rent+tech. Renting a salon chair — an intermediate step: your client base, salon sanitation.
