-: My name is Jessica Vershowske,
and I am a hairstylist,
at Hair Solutions Salon and Spa in New Berlin.
So everything hair,
you know I do haircuts, hair coloring,
perms when they're requested, all of that stuff.
And then also along with hair,
we do all sorts of nail services.
So, shellac manicures, regular manicures, pedicures,
and then also facial waxing.
Typical busy day, you know,
you'd have color appointments booked inside each other
meaning, you know,
you have someone come in,
you apply their color.
While they're processing you have another color come in,
you apply that color, while they're processing,
you're finishing the other one.
So kind of back to back like that you get into
once you start feeling comfortable.
You definitely don't do that right away,
but that's kind of your ideal,
successful day would be, you know,
having those appointments booked one after the other and,
yeah you can look ahead, you know,
who's coming in,
once you start to build that clientele,
you can kind of prepare for, you know,
what color formulas,
or if you were talking about doing
a different look this time,
start thinking about that,
get ready for looking at, you know,
if they are going to need products today,
if they're running low on what they got, you know,
all of that stuff, so.
Personally, I work 36 hours a week behind the chair.
I do a couple six hour shifts in the evenings,
and then, you know,
like a full day on Friday as a ten hour day,
eight to six,
and then weekends as well.
So, on like, my busiest day, you know,
on Friday, that long day, you know,
I can see anywhere from six to eight people,
for those full color services.
Maybe some haircuts in there, or some nails.
So, you know, throughout the week,
I feel like every single day is just as busy.
Of course every once in a while,
you'll have a cancellation or, you know,
someone doesn't show up or something like that
and then that's when you're just kind of helping out
your teammates in the salon, you know,
if anyone needs help with the shampoo,
or with cleaning up, sweeping up something,
you know, laundry, there's always stuff to do.
So, I feel like it's always busy.
There's never really any sitting around or,
you know, not doing something for somebody.
