[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem to bizarrely think that a hair stylist is making a ton of money with lots of buffer for no shows etc.  Let’s say she does get $150 for an hour long haircut.  $50 probably goes to rent her chair and other overhead, $30 to taxes as an independent contractor, leaving her with $70 as a high estimate for every 1.5 hours of work.  In an 8 hour workday she can probably see 6 clients leaving time between for cleaning her station, 14min late arrivals etc.  So if there’s a last minute cancellation - yes it’s a big deal.

And my colorist also only sees people being color.  She’s very talented at it, so she charges more and can easily fill her schedule.  Why in the world would she make any room in her schedule for less profitable haircuts without color.  It’s wild to me you all would criticize a sept employed person with no leverage for trying to maximize and protect the income they can make with their talents. [/quote]

Because most people don't need a color service. If the most elementary services are cut out because "they're not profitable", it's not fair to the consumer either. This is exactly what's happening in the building world, where contractors refuse everything but large builds, and woe to you if you urgently need smaller job.This happened to my friends in the middle of the pandemic. They had only bathroom and a roof to fix, because of leaks that had accumulated mold. They looked high and low for contractors willing to remediate and managed to get a canceled spot in a contractor's schedule by sheer luck. Of course it was way more expensive than it would have been a year ago.
