Recommendations for mobile hairdresser that can work round small children?

[Yak]

My mum is coming to stay to do some childcare for my sister. But she needs a wash and blow dry for a formal "do" that's happening while she's here. Could anyone recommend a good mobile hairdresser who is likely to be OK working round small children, and not be too whacky styling wise? I would have suggested Hairy Jayne but she no longer does home visits.

I'm really looking for recommedations from happy customers rather than replies from hairdressers.

Many thanks in advance!

Jen is great - she's been doing my hair since at least 2007 when I was pregnant with Number 2, and has worked around my older child who was then 3 going on 4, plus my pregnancy, then newborn, toddler, now bossy 3.5 year old who tries to persuade Jen to let her help do my hair, not to mention asking 100 questions about what she's doing, why she's doing it etc. etc. etc.!

She does cut, colour and drying and is flexible on timings etc. Her number is 07932 894335

Yes, I do! There's a mum on this forum ('NZ Emma') who is a hairdresser of small children. I was really pleased with my haircut by her. She works some evenings too which means the kids don't have to be around, but she said she does a lot of cuts where the kids are around. Her number is 07990 528383.

Georgina does my hair, she is very bubbly and chatty and isn't fazed by anything. Very skilled at cutting and blow drying in particular, and styles anyone from children to old people. I've got an 18 month old and she's brilliant with her. Her number is 07738 877139.

I recommend Victoria - search for her thread "For a beautiful haircut in your home" by EDF Name "Victoria C." She gives a great cut, is reasonably priced, and very skillfully gave my son his first haircut when he was 2 while he was sitting on my lap.
