We had the good fortune of connecting with Zarinah Hendrix and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Zarinah, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I created Handz by Hendrix with a passion for making people feel beautiful. I wanted to create a space where people could feel comfortable and pampered, and I knew that the best way to do that was to make my business mobile. This allows me to come to my clients’ homes or offices, so they can enjoy a luxurious hair treatment without having to leave the comfort of their own space.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My mobile hair business, handz by Hendrix, stands out from the crowd in a few key ways:

The Joy of Personalization: I focus on tailoring each appointment to the individual, considering their lifestyle, preferences, and hair health. It’s all about creating a comfortable, collaborative space where clients can express themselves and leave feeling fabulous.

Beyond the Box Expertise: I don’t believe in cookie-cutter hair. I constantly research and update my skills to tackle any client’s hair type, texture, or color desire. From intricate braids to vibrant transformations, I’m your one-stop shop for hair magic.

Community Beyond the Chair: Mobile hairdressing isn’t just about convenience; it’s about forging connections. I cherish the laughter, stories, and genuine conversations that weave themselves into each appointment, feeling like an invited guest in their homes rather than just a service provider.

Milestones and Lessons Learned:
Building this business wasn’t a walk in the park. Navigating permits, marketing on a shoestring budget, and juggling appointments while navigating traffic were daunting at times.

But the challenges are what shaped me. I learned resourcefulness, resilience, and the power of community. Every satisfied client, every “wow” in the mirror, every heartwarming connection fueled my fire and proved the journey was worth it.

Sharing My Mobile Hairdresser Story:
What I want the world to know is that mobile hairdressing isn’t just a niche service; it’s a philosophy. It’s about breaking away from rigid schedules and sterile salons, bringing beauty and expertise directly to people’s doorsteps. It’s about making them feel confident, cherished, and at home in their own skin, one strand at a time.

So, if you’re tired of the salon treadmill or simply crave a personalized hair experience in the comfort of your own space, reach out! Come join the handz by Hendrix family and let’s create some hair magic together.
