When do you take on additional help/staff

[redlottie13]

Hi guys I'm interested to know when you took another member of staff on .....I may be off work at the end of the year for a couple of months (for an operation) but unsure how to play it. I own a salon and I'm the only hairdresser so don't want to take on a self employed stylist in case they Nick my business (I know employed staff can do this also but there's less blurred lines I suppose)

Did you take someone on when you were turning people away or when you didn't necessarily need to (to speculate to accumulate) ? X

Why have you no one else employed? Give yourself a break?

If you can afford it, hire staff to boost profit margins. If sceptical about it financially rent out chair - but make sure to be picky you don't want to damage your salons reputation for the sake of money... it only takes one person to ruin a whole salons rep.
With regards to your clients aslong as it's money your gaining through the employed staff or rent from staff . If your clients are loyal once your back they will return to you. X
