Baby stylist and I need guidance
Hi guys sorry to bother and sorry for my grammar. I recently completed cos school in late last year and have been assisting in a salon since. I’m assisting only the owner and i really enjoy the job however im concerned about some red flags and just want some guidance and advice. We’re based in a pretty big city and I get paid 11$ an hr (my last salon paid 15hr for assisting and from what i see ranges from $12-15$)and we only work 4 days and often gets sent home/told to not come in if she’s not double booked or coming in that day. Safe to say It is not substantial pay for the city i live in and barely covers my car/ insurance (car is cheap as well). We do not have in house education nor outside education so i have taken no classes since i’ve graduated and when i brought this up she just sent me videos to watch. I have looked into outside education but they are around $300 a class so im looking around for cheaper ones/trying to budget for some. I am now taking models and they also don’t market really on socials that i need models and it is all done by me and she is now saying that i have to clock out while i do my models (i have been doing at least 2 consistently for a bit over a month) so im really concerned on how that’s going to affect my pay. this salon is a lot more “laid back” than my last where they helped a lot with bringing in new clients and had a class every 3 weeks…
