With the high cost of rent these days, small business operators need to be creative. Hair stylist Veralynn Beattie, owner of Hair On The Go, closed her Herring Cove-based shop the Hairing Cove Clipper (3 Ocean Breeze Drive) last winter and took her business on the road. Based in Clayton Park, Beattie specializes in mobile hair design. She travels everywhere from Dartmouth to Spryfield (and anywhere else in-between), sets up shop in the comforts of your own home and works her magic. She brings all of her tools, scissors, irons, blow-dryers and so forth for cuts, perms, foils, colours – even a waxing pot too. Catch Hair On The Go at 444-5895.
