Try it

A simulation and a case study from this kind of work, set in a fictional hair and beauty salon with eight chairs and a treatment room, on a busy Saturday before a long weekend. They are fictional.

The kind of days you could have

Good days

  • A fully booked Saturday where every client leaves smiling and every stylist is on time
  • An apprentice does her first cut on a real client and the client loves it
  • A bride's whole party arrives together and the room fills with laughter

Hard days

  • A stylist leaves and takes loyal clients with them
  • A client unhappy with a colour who wants it fixed for nothing
  • Back-to-back bookings with nobody having a break
