In the heart of the Pyrénées Orientales, Cindy Prieur, 32, offers her hairdressing, barbering and shiatsu services in her Challenger I91 motorhome specially equipped to pamper her customers. Portrait.
Since the age of 16, Cindy has been immersed in the world of hairdressing. She has always been passionate about this sector. But this is exactly the atmosphere she describes “superficial” which quickly disappointed the young woman. Therefore, she specializes in men’s haircuts and shaving.
I opened my salon, according to my image. I wanted my work to reflect my state of mind and above all to offer a real moment of relaxation to my clients.
After 5 years of experience, Cindy quickly admits that she is tired of coming to the same place every day, having the same view, the same light…
And that’s when a beautiful story with the world of motorhomes begins for Cindy.
I met someone who was going to live in a motor home. I had a click. I even passed my truck license! It was a revelation for me, I wanted to open up my living room in the motor home.
Found on the website leboncoin.fr, his used Challenger vehicle has been completely redesigned. It took 6 months of work to bring it up to standard. His companion, an electrician, processed all the electricity. The vehicle is therefore designed in two phases, at the back of the cell, the space is dedicated to the customer, and at the entrance there are products intended for sale.
You should know that it is my work space as well as my living space. You have to organize yourself well, put everything away in the morning and in the evening. It’s quite a process.
Despite the fact that her activity is only recent (July 2022), Cindy is already well known in the sector.
Clients drive 50 minutes to come and use my services, that’s flattering. Many are even worried about my safety, the fact that I am a woman, alone, living in my motor home…
For the future, the young woman thinks big:
I would very much like to go on a tour of France with my motorhome to offer my services. I have already contacted the Camping-Car Park network to be able to park in their areas, but my request has been refused.
