All of you sound like great salon owners, I am sure most salon owners are good at what they do and care about how they treat their staff.
Can I just say, that some of us - employees have experienced some problems with our employers (most of the time it's about legal stuff) and that's when we post/ask for advice.
I work in a salon, been there for more than 4months and have still no contract. I was told I am not allowed to take any sick days. (not that I ever do- I haven't had a sick day off in 10years) I was paid cash in hand for the first 3months. I was promised training - I haven't had any.
Would you call this a good salon owner?
And yes, I am greatful to have a job in this tough economy times, but surely I am allowed to be treated fairly? All I want is a contract ( can't take such a long time to do one as she employes few other girls who already have one) and training I was promised.
I just wanted to give you my experience and I really look up to all salon owners as it is a really hard job to do.
Come to think of it, I suspect the irony of the whole thing is that the good bosses are on salon geek because they are the ones who care about what they're doing.
I can totally relate to what you say here (I think you've given me some advice on this sort of thing on previous threads )....there are some people who are not doing a good/fair job of owning a salon.
But yeah, when people (like me lol) complain about the bleak/illegal side of the industry on salon geek, it's with the view that I'm talking about the sort of salon owners who probably aren't on salon geek so I do apologise if any of my negative comments about salon owners has upset any of the salon owners on here who are probably doing a fantastic job :-D
