Getting ready for prom season (May–June)
Proms fill up calendars every spring. Here's how salons can line up extra seasonal help ahead of time.
From mid-May to the end of June, high school and CEGEP proms create a surge in demand for updos, braids and event styling.
For salons
- Post your seasonal shifts early. As early as March, post dated shift covers for the busiest Saturdays.
- Target the right specialties. Updos and event styling, braids, textured hair: use tags to reach the right pros.
- Think of hairdressing school graduates. They are looking for experience and are often available.
For pros
- Mark your weekend availability for May and June.
- Add photos of updos and event styling to your portfolio.
- Turn on alerts to receive matching listings first.
