I noticed a few threads here saying its difficult to recruit hairdressers. My junior pointed the below out to me only the other day.
1/ You train for years to qualify only to discover as soon as you start at a salon you are on the bottom rung of pay with all the crappy jobs & crappy customers no-one else wants.
2/ 1 clients colour (mobile) will earn you the same pay as a full day in a salon, why knock yourself out for a salon when you can make good money on your own mobile?
3/ All other tradesmen/women receive a good hourly rate when qualified, why dont we, we're a trade right?
Needless to say i doubt she will be with us any length of time however she did make some very good points & i thought it would raise quite an interesting debate here on the forum.
