      • Rotation option
      • Option of keeping shifts together to avoid cross-contamination (if possible)

Stylist Scheduling:
Example

Formerly: Tuesday-Saturday Average 9 hours per day total 45 hours per week

New Schedule: Monday-Sunday Average 12.5 hours per day total 87.5 hours per week

Each day would have 2 six hour shifts with a 30min break b/w shifts

Determine how many shifts need to be filled per day and per week:

Each Day Open – Number of shifts x Number of operational stations = total number of shifts needed to be covered

2 shifts x 5 operational stations = 10 shifts to be covered

Assistant/Front Desk Scheduling:
  • Determine how many assistant/front desk personnel you need per shift
  • Schedule each employee per shift in same manner as stylists
