This question is for hair stylists and salon clients : pros and cons to salon departmentalization??

i am stylist in a non dept. salon environment. i really like both cutting %26amp; coloring hair, but now our manager wants us to be dept. so i would only do color.

im really frustrated at this point, and really dont even want to stick around to see how it will work out. so far its been just a mess as far is booking goes. its making our clients upset and i am really begining to think there is no benifit to this for the stylists, just the salon.

can anyone shed some light on this subject. if you are a stylist, what duration of time are you allowed to preform services? what happens when you have a new client and are seeing them for the first time and see that their down for a partial, but actually need all over color and highlights, and a condtioning treat.?(which will make them late to see the cutter) do you do it? or do you tell them youll do it next time?

if you visit a salon, do you prefer to see just one person for cut and color, or doest it matter to you?

I don't like it. If your a good stylist you should be able to do everything. Also, most customers know who to go to for certain services anyway.

Be more professional by offering an advice to the new client what she needed to be done but don't push her to do it right away. You might push her away. But if she asked for it then do a complete make over for her.

If I'm the client I will prefer to see just one person to handle my cut and color, that is my preference.

You should go work at a different salon.
