When I finished my hair dressing course, I made a list of all the
salon's in my city that I would want to work at. And then I called them
all and told them who I was and what I wanted to do and asked if they
had any positions available. I eventually found one and started working
there. So try that, or maybe just go down to the salon and make an
appointment to talk to the manager and stuff. Or try
behindthechairs.com they have listings of a lot of salon jobs in the US Good luck! Let me know what happens! |

I'd also ask questions about Your work wardrobe and hair and makeup , whether You can be Yourself or are there "Rules". Also ask If You can ask fellow employees questions, Also do You need a "Clientile" to start, or not? I hope I helped, Take care and God Bless! !$) )! |

| In alot of salons, in order to become a shampoo person ,you will need to be classed as an apprentice.In calling a salon to inquire about employment,be honest. Tell the hiring manager that you are seeking employment within the hair industry and are planning to attend cosmetology school in the near future. They will usually then tell you what their requirements are and if any openings are available. |

hello- glad to hear u want to go to beauty school, as a salon owner, i would encourage you to go, dont call, to the salons in your area that you might potentially want to work there as a stylist once you are liscensed. Dress professional, hair and make-up done etc. stop on by each salon, ask if by any chance they might be hiring for receptionist. Use your current skills you might have now to land the job. once you fill out application and hopefully get an interview, after interview, call in three days every other day to say how int, you are to work at salon. Anyone who has tenasity, and is shows they really want the job, usually gets it. good luck! ), Ahg `dapd , .,` % $ ` $)-%,,, , ," |

Hi Lisa,
I don't know much about this particular industry, but I'd strongly recommend reading a good book about business in general. Go to the library and there will be dozens of books on the subject. They will tell you how to present a good professional first appearance and what questions to ask (and not to ask -- personally, I wouldn't mention salary and benefits the first time you speak to someone. It might seem like you're more interested in money than the actual position). Eye contact, standing up straight, speaking in a clear and coherent manner -- these are all very important in making a good first impression. 0- Ai
