[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]Let’s say she does get $150 for an hour long haircut.  [/b]$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]

An hour long haircut? It takes my high end salon hairdresser about 15 minutes to cut my hair and then another 10 to blow dry it.  That's way too long.  He books like 3 clients an hour...[/quote]

Is your hair short? I have thick wavy longish hair and no one I've been to can cut it that fast. Most hair dressers try to cut my hair in 15 minutes and you can tell. I haven't found a hair dresser who can give a good precision cut in over 20 years. I 've gone to expensive salons and less but no one seems to know how to cut hair anymore. I started making 2 separate appointments so I'd get a better cut. One appt for the cut, another appt for the color but it didn't work. The stylist still tried to cut my hair as fast as possible.

One of my kids has the same thick wavy hair and he's walked out of an appointment because they insisted on giving him a fade. For those that don't know, it's a buzz cut all around the head with just the top left longer. It allows people who have no idea what they are doing to become a "stylist". [/quote]

I have a lot of thick hair. It is long. The only person who took that long to cut my hair didn't know what they were doing. Novices tend to start cutting, get lost and continue to cut away trying to get things even. I know they don't know what they are doing when a cut takes a long time. [/quote]
