Why can't they schedule 2 employees at a time, get open, and rotate? Sharing something is better than sharing nothing.

Good idea. For a lot of people it is hard to think outside the box.

I can tell you have zero experience in the salon business. It's not worth it to open an entire salon when only one person can be in there at a time.

First, you would need to figure out a schedule. You would have to coordinate that schedule with 20 other people plus 3 receptionists (2 people a day, 8 hour shifts, so one stylist could work one 8 hr shift every 10 days). Then you would have to change your entire appointment system to reflect this new schedule and hope the stylist's clients can come in during those times (wouldn't be a problem for busier stylists could be a problem for less busy stylists with less clientele).

Then, you would have to pay a receptionist to sit at the front desk to accept payment since stylists can't do that (it's a lot of cash coming and going, like a bar, you can't have too many with access unless you want to get robbed). This schedule would have to be split 3 ways. Then, you would have to coordinate basic supply needs, color needs, equipment needs (because clippers break, hair dryers break, etc).

Oh and btw - with these stylists now working - none would be eligible for unemployment. With one 8 hr shift every 10 days they would probably clear around $300-$400 that day which is good, but they would still make a lot more in unemployment WITHOUT the Fed kicker. With the fed kicker they would make significantly more on unemployment.

So there's your thinking outside the box placed back in the box, lit on fire, and smashed into a thousand pieces.
