Also, we have recently converted to an appointment-based scheduling format, which means business hours will vary from those previously observed. Until we reach a point where it is fiscally appropriate to hire a full-time staff, the salon may not always be open at predictable times. We understand how frustrating this might be, but with only one full-time operator, covering a twelve-hour range of typical salon hours during a six-day week will be virtually impossible. We ask for your understanding as the business evolves.
