Depending on your perspective, a flexible schedule can be a blessing or a curse. In the salon industry, the busiest day of the week is Saturday, not to mention, appointments can occur in the evening or be scheduled last minute, so your new stylist should be comfortable with inconsistent and/or non-traditional work hours.

Before hiring, it’s important to discuss both the salon and your potential hire’s ideal work schedules and make sure you are able to accommodate both parties’ needs.
