- Travel distance — homes outside the mobile hairdresser's usual area may carry a travel charge
- Hair length — long or thick hair takes longer to cut and dry at home
- Group bookings — several haircuts at one address can lower each person's mobile price
- Location — London mobile hairdressers charge more than those in market towns
- Unsociable hours — evening and weekend home visits may cost extra
