Boardroom Interview Questions
& Process

I came in for an interview and to do 2 practical haircuts. One was a clipper cut on the sides with scissors on top, the second was a full haircut. The hiring manager and assistant manager both interviewed me and were very friendly.

It was a simple, good, short interview. They looked for good, long-lasting condition of the house and good condition in the house for the first few months and the last couple months. I was in the middle and then the second week of September. I had a couple months off so I'm just gonna have a little time off to do that.

I interviewed for a Hair Stylist position. First, I met with the manager who talked about the salon's atmosphere, saying the employees are like family and that the clients are high-end, like doctors, lawyers, and CEOs, emphasizing client priority. Then, I had an online test which inaccurately described me as "unreliable" and "uncooperative," which I found surprising given the current demand for stylists. The second interview involved a practical test of two haircuts. I arrived at 12:30 PM, but the corporate office wouldn't allow the salon to open the appointment books for me, a process they'd followed for two years previously. Instead, I had to wait for clients to come in, making the practical interview extend from about an hour to three and a half hours. During the first haircut, my clippers unplugged twice, and my blow dryer kept shorting out, requiring me to stop multiple times. The second cut went fine. Finally, I had a third interview with the area manager who asked standard questions but told me three times they would "circle back," and I never heard from them again. They didn't even bother to call or send a letter to decline my application.

You get there, and we chat about the job description, benefits, and salary. We'll cover what the company is all about and the dress code. Then, you'll get your tools ready and have some models. You'll do a demonstration of a few haircuts and styles.
