A man decided to combine his skills as a barber with his love for classic American vehicles by turning his 1970’s Airstream bus into a mobile luxury salon he calls The Silver Bullet.
Cameron Stananought, 29, from Liverpool, has been operating his mobile salon and has been motoring all over the UK to showcase his skills and even offered them to dog walkers in a countryside field.
Cameron already has a hair salon in his home city but wanted to take his business to the next level. His mobile salon even has a cocktail bar.

In the eight months it has been in operation, the Silver Bullet has participated in weddings, worked with brands such as Marc Jacobs at Chester Races, and on film sets.
Cameron said: “We’ve even taken it to campsites and made all the campers look glamorous again.
“But I think the most bizarre place we have cut people’s hair is in the middle of a field in Anglesey.
“We had no idea what to expect but the response was incredible, we had dog walkers and people just strolling through the field all coming up and asking what it was about.
“People were turning up just in their walking gear and leaving us with a hair cut.”
The idea for the Silver Bullet was actually born years ago following a family meet-up. Cameron now runs the mobile salon together with his parents and giving customers a totally unique hairdressing experience.
Cameron said: “Whenever I meet up with my parents we always discuss business ideas and this one really stuck out.
“It must have been three or four years ago when all of these pop-up businesses started trending.
“My dad has always been obsessed with American engineering and it was his idea to do it in an Air-stream, and quite rightly so because their popularity has just exploded in the last few years – I think there was a full field of them at Glastonbury.
“We wanted to bring something different to it by offering ladies hairdressing and beauty services too.
“At my hair salon, Swanky Malone, we wear suits and treat the customers like royalty, so I wanted to bring that level of luxury to the road.
“The experience is completely adaptable to what the individual wants, we can get a mixologist in to do cocktails at the bar, my mom already runs a beauty salon in Liverpool and I do both men’s and women’s hairdressing.
“I can also make a variety of gin cocktails too which is always a bonus for people who just pop in for a trim but fancy a tipple too.”
Cameron’s unique approach has created an experience that customers have ‘never seen before’ and now the hairdresser has received numerous bookings for weddings and fashion labels.
He added: “The reaction and feedback have been amazing, and we have been pleasantly surprised. I don’t think anyone has seen anything like it before.”
