• What type of hairdresser do you want to be?
• It is worth looking into this before and while
  you are training. When you have a clear goal in
  sight, it is easier to work towards a successful
  career.
• So what influences a hairdressers salary?
• 1. Skill set (senior stylists earn more than
  juniors).
• 2. Hours worked.
• 3. The area you live (working in London will pay
  more than a seaside town up North, but then you
  need to consider cost of living).
• 4. Whether you work for yourself or someone
  else.
• 5. Environment (i.e. high street salon, fashion,
  stage, film and TV, cruise liners, teaching).

• In some cases, hair stylists make a huge
  amount of money. In 2006, Forbes magazine
  reported that the hairdresser who styled Madonna
  and Gwyneth Paltrow charged 800 for a new
  hair-do! Dont get too excited, though, this is
  an exceptional circumstance, not all clients can
  afford an 800 hair-cut and in hairdressing you
  have to work hard and really prove your talents
  with the scissors and hair dye.

• Informed decision making
• The software allows business owners to
  schedule recurring jobs and new inquiries through
  a single entry and without a date or time
  specification. With this, supervisors can easily
  make better decisions since they can assign tasks
  with clear instructions. Moreover, they can leave
  gaps in the schedule area for employees to fill
  out.
