I would like to know which salon this was if any of you have any idea's, when I started work in a salon we had cubicle's and we had to call the stylist Miss Brown or Mrs Smith we were not allowed to call them by their first name, how times change. Later on these little salon's which did not keep up with real price, wages, and unisex salons. some of the hairstylist would call them "Sweaty Betty's" I trained 3 years app then two years as an improver and all we were paid was £5 00 a week we had to rely on Tips to boost up our wages.
