Demand for mobile beauty?

[onmywaytoBA]

Hi,

My girlfriend is moving out to BA and is an NVQ III qualified beauty therapist with 10+ years experience doing various treatments from massage, manicure, pedicure, facial, etc etc. SHe does not speak spanish and does not have a work visa.

CAn anyone comment on how much demand there might be for someone like this to act as a 'mobile' therapist i.e. out visits to peoples homes around the city doing treatments.. maybe ladies parties or something (no sleazy men looking for a full body massage lol!).

My thoughts would be that aside from expat clientel, I imagined that there might be a demand from rich Argentinian women who would like the fact that they are being treated by a British girl, who is actually called 'Victoria'.

ANy advice / suggestions please??

Thanks for your support

I would love that...! but i am not a rich lady... I think that ladies in gated communities such as Nordelta would like the idea ...

Hi -
Just a quick comment to suggest you look the other threads on expectations of foreigners to respect to pricing. People can get manicures here for 7 or 8 dollars and a color job for 60 pesos, about $15. What type of prices is she expecting to charge?
