What hours would a hairdresser in a salon work?

Trevor Sorbie (Director) gives expert video advice on: How do you get your own salon?; Is being a hairdresser hard work?; What is a day in the life of a hairdresser like? and more...

The normal hours for a hairdresser in a salon are from, basically, nine to six; six being the last appointment, which means you probably finish at about 6:37. We stay open later towards the back end of the week because, and this is general, most salons are not that busy Monday or Tuesday, and then it starts warming up on Wednesday, Thursday's busy, Friday's busy, and Saturday's packed. On Thursdays in my salon, the salon closes at eight o'clock at night. So, we start at ten. It's a long day, but if you're fully booked right the way through, you don't stop, and very often you don't get lunch.
