what a bummer. i feel your pain. i worked in a chain salon once, and it was because of those things i said never again. if you really want to stay there , i would set some limits. i would tell my boss these are the hours i can work. let the new people work the early and late shifts. how long have you been there? if you've been there for sometime they should value you and try to work with you. i've really found that chains do not value their stylists and that's why the have such a turnover. i hope it all works out

 

you know star i know excatly what you mean. I worked in a full service salon that was booth rental and they did they same thing to me. I went on vacation to find that the owner and the other stylist decided to rearrange the salon and move the stations and take my things and equipment and move them. It is hard enough getting back in to the groove with out them screwing up your life!! I also worked a chain salon and they seem to think that what ever suits them at the moment goes regardless of the promises that they made previously. They had cut back my hours and then continued to hire more people that could only work on the days that I could and then told me well we don"t need any body on this day. i had worked there for 2 years with very few re-do's and you would think that would count for something but it doesn't. She would fire people from one store claiming that they weren't elegible for re-hire and then hire them back to go work at another one of her stores. Sometimes this buisness is frustrating!!Thank God for Vent It!
