Life After Beauty School For a Hair Stylist
Most hair stylists work from about 9:00 a.m., to 6:00 or even 7:00 p.m. The majority of your income will come from days later in the week, beginning on Wednesdays and increasing through Saturdays. Eager hair stylists will also offer evening hours to accommodate a working clientele. The good news is that talented hair stylists keep busy throughout the day, which makes time go faster, and earns them a great income.
An organized stylist schedules his or her day according to the needs of the client and the salon. It is essential to arrive at least 30 minutes earlier than the first scheduled appointment to ensure the salon is presentable, i.e., floors swept, towels cleaned, mirrors wiped down, tools sanitized, and even coffee prepared.
Performing these tasks early in the day, and continuing throughout the day, will ensure the salon, and its stylists, make a good first impression.
Hairdressers spend their days cutting, styling, perming, and coloring hair, as well as performing scalp, straightening and bleaching treatments. Some hairstylists offer services such as wig consultations, hair extensions, and more. Finding the right style for each client is the biggest single factor in retaining and earning customers.
