Completely OT Poll: How long have you waited at a hair or tanning salon?

Irene wrote: I'm looking for average and longest wait. (1) for both, and I only ever go with an appointment. Same question for a tanning salon, if you ever go to one. Sorry, I like my skin cancer-free ; ) I figured most (if not all) people here wouldn't go (I don't, either!) but since I've never been, I had absolutely no idea what a reasonable parking requirement would be! If it makes you feel any better, the tanning salon is not my client - it's a future tenant of the building we designed. Irene |

Irene wrote: When at a hair salon, how many people have you had to wait through to get to your haircut? Average 0, longest 1 (and that person has always been almost done). Always with an appointment. Before we had a hair person to do barter with, and I got my hair done by whoever was available at the walk-in place, average was probably 1 and longest was probably 3, with no appointment. Phoebe I don't suppose you remember what day of the week that 3 wait was? I had forgotten to mention that I'm also trying to figure out when peak traffic would be. My assumption would be Saturday mornings, and peak season would be for things like prom or New Year's Eve (updo's), but since I've only ever gotten an updo once, it's somewhat out of my experience!

I haven't done a tanning salon in years. If this is for parking I would think that the average time a woman spends in a salon would be more prudant, right? I usually spend *easily* over a hour in the chair. Actually, the number of people waiting is much more relevant than the time, since the zoning ordinance addresses number of cars per chair. So, I'm looking to see how many people are waiting for that one chair and therefore have a car parked in the parking lot. This particular ordinance is calling for 3 parking spaces per chair, plus one parking spot per employee, which sounded high to me, which is why I posted the question. As in, every chair would have to have 2 people waiting (or lingering around afterwards.) (This is in a suburban location where you pretty much have to assume that everyone is driving, alas.) Zoning ordinances are funny beasts... ;-) Irene |

I rarely make appointments to get my hair done, and usually don't wait at all.
See, that's because I don't like to wait, so if there's a wait, then I leave. The longest I would wait through would be one person who's already been started. I'd say 15 minutes. I don't tan. laurie mommy to Jessica, almost 3 years and Christopher, 10 months |

Completely OT Poll: How long have you waited at a hair or tanning salon?
I'll start by saying that I go to a higher end salon, but I've never (with
an appointment) waited beyond one person in the chair. Even then, my stylist usually has her assistant start my color while she's cutting someone else, so I've never waited for more than about 10 minutes past the start of my appointment time. -- Melissa (in Los Angeles) Mum to Elizabeth 4/13/03 "Irene" wrote in message m...
