So I’ve been doing hairdressing for 8 years now and have a good clientele, I’ve been in my current salon that I work in for nearly 2 and a half years and whilst my clientele has been building up over the years I feel it’s now time to rent a chair. I have 2 bosses and they are more than happy with this as they know I can’t keep surviving on minimum wage and they don’t want to loose me so this is the next best thing. HOWEVER they want me to pay daily rent and buy my own stock etc but still dictate to me what hours and days I work? Is this fair?
To me the whole point of doing this is so that I’m earning more money for myself and that I only have to answer to myself. They still want me to take there holidays and days off into consideration as they both only want to work 3/4 days a week but to me the responsibility shouldn’t be put on my shoulders as it’s not my salon. For example they both don’t want to work a Tuesday so now they are expecting me to work a Tuesday so that someone is in with the junior.. When usually my days are Wednesday-Saturday. I would rather build my days up before going straight in to working 5 days when I already do late nights in the other days. And also because the junior is not my member of staff I feel like I shouldn’t be responsible? Am I in the right or am I being unreasonable?
