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.

Re: Salon hours...

We were always 10-10 7 days a week. Granted Sunday nights were slow but we always had extra cleaning duties on the slow times. It only costs about $20 an hour to keep your salon open. If you tan say two people you broke even.

Re: Salon hours...

We are 7A-11P Mon-Thur; 7-9 Fri; 8-8 Sat; 10-7 Sun from Jan -Sep. Open at 8 during slow season. I also stay late (midnight or later) on Wed to catch the second shift workers. My late night customers are by far the most appreciative ones.

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!!

I have similar hours except Mon we open 11am-8pm(no one showed up before 11am when we had it open at 10am), Tue-Fri 10-10pm
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.
