The interview process was very easy and not intimidating at all. I recommend really coming in strong with a portfolio in order to give yourself the position to negotiate your hourly. Otherwise, they will try to give you a very low base to work up from. Some salons do not give you a raise, and you will be stuck with the base pay. Other salons will try to give you a yearly raise. You are in the position of power because stylist are hard to find these days, and salons are doing everything they can to keep stylists.
