Completely OT Poll: How long have you waited at a hair or tanning salon?
Sorry to post something so completely OT, but you guys are the biggest
group of women I know! The basic question is: When at a hair salon, how many people have you had to wait through to get to your haircut? In other words, no wait would be 0, waiting for the person in the chair to be done would be 1, and waiting for both the person in the chair and an additional person would be 2, and so on. I'm looking for average and longest wait. Please specify whether or not this is with an appointment. Same question for a tanning salon, if you ever go to one. (I'm trying to argue a zoning ordinance, in case anyone is wondering what this information is for. Apparently no one has created a parking standard for hair salons or tanning salons, so everyone is running blind, and I think that this particular village has a ridiculous ordinance, but I don't have any data to back it up. I know this is an unscientific poll, but it may come in handy.) Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer! Irene the architect |

That is usually just the person in the chair and is never more than 10-15 minutes. I wouldn't go back to a place if I had to wait longer than that. Don't do tanning salons. Got my first massage a couple of weeks ago and that was a 1 also. Had a 10 minute wait. Mary |

When I go to a salon, I generally have an appointment and I generally get in on time. I show up a few minutes early to be on the safe side, so I generally wait just a few minutes before it's my turn.

I always make an appt. and usually never wait more than 10 minutes. In fact,
I can't think of a time when I've had to wait longer. And I would never, ever use a tanning bed...ugh. Could there be anything worse for your skin??? Kari mom to Kaylie (8) Noah (4) and Xander (4 mos) |

Irene the architect I always have an appointment and it's early ( as DH is at home then) so I'm usually the first person, I wait 5 or so mins. Where I park is unlimited parking time so I have no worries. Alissa |

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 |

Completely OT Poll: How long have you waited at a hair or tanning salon?
I go to a no appointments needed place in the strip mall. I almost never
make an appointment. When you get there, they take your name and phone number, and then you are put into the wait list. Normally the wait is about 10-15 minutes, depending on how many stylists are working at the time (could be anywhere from 2-6 depending on time of day). On a busy day, the wait might be as much as an hour, but they are good at estimating how long it will be. If the wait is long, I usually run a couple errands in the strip mall while I wait so it isn't wasted time. I'd have virtually no wait ever if I made an appointment, but my life is just too unpredictable to do that most of the time. "Irene" wrote in message m...

Anyway, on days she cuts, I see 1 or 2 cars belonging to her customers in our parking lot (townhouse community). Never 3 cars. Jeanne |
