I feel a bit sorry for youngsters trying to enter our industry at the moment. Good jobs are few and far between. Salons are making good staff redundant as it is, not nurturing and investing money and time in inexperienced newbies.
In my day it was easy to find salon jobs, there were more jobs than technicians. We also had longer, more thorough training which prepared us better.
I think the mobile thing comes about when people are desperate to use their training, but nobody will give them a chance. As a salon owner, mobiles are not really my competition as we cater to different markets.
Being mobile can actually prevent people from getting a job, as salons are twitchy about client poaching, and people having a rival business while working for their rival, quite understandably.
So before all young people are lumped as lazy, I would like to point out that there are few opportunities compared with years ago.
The mobile phone habit however is a major bugbear.
