Salons are similar to retail establishments. They are most productive during what is considered "leisure time" for other people. This means working nights and weekends. To avoid conflict with new hires, salon managers will always asked about your availability. They will want to know how late or how early you can work. They will also ask about availability during weekends and holidays. The Christmas season is by far the busiest time for salons. Anticipate questions about how many hours you can work during that time.
