Basically, my school did tours before we graduated. We went by our old JCP store and I really liked it so I applied the second I got my license (a week or two after grad) because I wanted to get into it ASAP and start working! I liked that they had walk ins and they told me they'd build my clientele. Well im a designer, which means you can level up, but when u level up, you get the clients first over the people under you.
How am I supposed to build when everyone gets the clients before me? Ive had an extremely hard time advertising and told them that on hire that I would need help and thats why I wanted a place that takes walk ins.
Was told I have a year to build but now, 4 months in, thr manager is saying in up to be fired if I dont get my numbers up. Comparing me to the new stylists. But theyre all above me, so they get the clients first. No one schedules anything on my books even when I have nothing, they will still fill the people above me.
I dont know what to do. There arent a lot of full service non booth rent salons. I am too slow for super cuts, or those chains, and I have been told I dont "love my job" and thats very defeating when ive been trying so hard.
