Hello All!
My little salon will celebrate it's 2nd Birthday this year
It's been tough and only now do I feel settled and like I'm going to start making some money for me! All the staff I have are self employed on a fixed station rental which includes nice products for them to use, they get advertised on the salons website, 10% commission on retail and other perks....and the team I have now I love and we all get on well...
...The only issue I have is I'm a bit of a control freak, probs as I've spent the most time and energy and money getting it off the ground and nearly everyone is renting part time. Not bringing me in enough to draw a real wage and I can't find new self employed staff for the remaining days- and boy have I been looking!
I have found a few beauty apprentices however from our local college and have been speaking to my accountant and solicitor about working out a monthly payroll and a years contract. I would just need one beauty apprentice 3 days a week to keep building and maintaining our beauty business, and freeing me up to concentrate on my work.
Can any owners give me ANY advice on apprentices that have worked well or not? And if you have been an apprentice did you enjoy it or not? What made it good or bad? Thanks geeks!
