curiosity! how long?

[Calliek]

hey geeks!

i work in a big salon and the time people take to do things varies so much!
so, purely because i like to find out about other hairdressers ways.. how long does it take you all to do say.. a short cut an blow-dry, and a long one.. etc etc !

I allow a 45min appointment for a cut and blow dry as a rule. Some I do in half an hour, some with long thick hair need an hour.

We book out 1/2 an hour for both long and short. However we would cut it,then set an apprentice on drying it and then we'd finish it off. So we would have them both for 1/2 an hour (15 mins to cut+15 mins to finish off)but the apprentices would do the main work!

 

[Cesalon]

We allow 30 mins for shoulder length, 45 mins for anything longer and 1h if it's uber long and thick!!!

hi, i usually allow myself about 45mins for a cut & blowdry but as the other guys have said sometimes its done in half hr & sometimes it takes me a bit longer just depends on the clients hair type!x

 

[Alex-Lydia]

We do exactly the same as cesalon, but sometimes its not about how much hair they have but how much they talk or just how demanding they are as a client LOL

I allow 45 mins. That allows a through consultation and for the client to feel like they are not being rushed in and out the door. I can do 30 mins but it then feels like a conveyor belt and not a service.

 

[NeelieGel]

I allow one hour for each client but I work at my home salon and don't want clients to overlap. I would say I use at least 45 minutes for a cut and dry though. But often an hour as I like to spoil my ladies and do chat a bit before and after too.

I feel like a slow poke here! We allocate an hour generally, particularly for restyles, long and thick hair or new clients (Because if they book over the phone I don't like to harass them for the exact type of hair they have and they usually aren't very accurate!) I will allocate 45 minutes slots to a client if I know who they are and know I can do it in that time, or if its at the end of the day, or before my break so I have time to run over. I'm going into chair rental next month so I expect I'll be a bit speedier and more keen to push a 45min slot.

I've always been in salons that offer an hour - maybe it's just my area? However we don't usually use juniors to blow dry if the client is paying for full price, most don't like it!

I take 45mins to an hour for cut and blow dries wether it's short or long. X
