For independent hairdressers looking to set up a professional salon when working from home, renting a space or with mobile services, meet Home Based Salons (HBS), which created the HBS Portable Basin to make this process as seamless as possible.
“As a hairdresser myself, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to set up a salon the cost, the council approvals, the plumbing, it all felt like too many hurdles standing in the way of doing what I love,” Rebecca Michelle, Co-Founder of Home Based Salons. “That’s why my partner, Danny, and I designed and built the very first HBS Portable Basin for our own home salon. We needed something that gave us a professional setup without the stress and financial burden of traditional renovations. Once we started using the basin, our home salon thrived and that’s when we realised this could change the lives of so many other hairdressers.”


The solution offers a flexible, affordable and professional option that requires no plumbing or renovations, so you can set up your salon anywhere with zero installation hassle. It’s also water efficient, using just 1.5L per minute with a 90L tank, making it practical for multiple clients. It’s additionally portable and offers a full salon experience anywhere, with a professional ceramic basin, built-in water heater, and ergonomic design.
“I know the struggle of trying to set up a salon the ‘traditional’ way—and I also know the freedom that comes when you break those rules. The HBS Portable Basin changed my business, and now I want every hairdresser to have the same opportunity to take control of their future,” Rebecca shared.
