Rep Power: 13 | Re: Salon hours... Clients set your hours. Most computers track business activity adjust your hours accordingly. Similairly you cant have set hours as in season and summer people are out and about much much later than in fall and winter. Your website and google page can be altered to your hours. Static hours much like static pricing is a big mistake. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Salon hours... We are open 10-5 Sat & Sun,9-9 M-F, during JASON these hours are more than enough for us. During the busy season we will tan people until midnight if thats what it takes to get everyone in. In the past we haven't opened any earlier than 9 throughout the week, but we are taking a poll on our facebook page to see if the demand is there, if so we will definitely extend hours. We are a small family run business as well, our thinking is that during the busy season when the traffic is there and people are wanting to spend their money with us we NEED to make the most of it, if that means staying around late, or opening early WE'LL DO IT!! |

Sat 9am-8pm Sunday 10-7pm btw do you get a big rush on sundays (1/2 price) your last hour? My salon we get 15-20 clients coming in between 5:45pm-7pm, never fairs, and in busy season sometimes upto 25-28. As for Sat we use to be open till 9pm, recently reduced it to 8pm, the last 2 hours we get around a dozen people. I also use to be open at 8:30 Mon-Fri, but had 1-2 customer from 8:30-10am, wasn't worth it. We do get about 6-10 people coming in from 9pm-10pm, so its worth the extra hour for me. | |
