A Day in the Life

At Mini Martha Stuarts we would show up at work at 7 or 8 in the morning. We are usually there an hour to two hours early. We start allowing clients to come in at 9 o'clock. In the morning we organize all of the statements and stations, so we will be ready for our clients. We then book appointments for tomorrow and make a schedule of how the week will lay out.
Around 9 when our scheduled clients start coming in for their appointments we greet them and ask them questions about what they will be looking for. We will then get to know them, so we can get a good sense of their style. While our client is getting their hair done, the other one of us who isn't working at a station will be given a list of clothes they need to go shop for. We have a long line of compartment and bargin stores on our street and right around the corner. When they are done shopping and have chosen the clothing, they will have the clients try them on. Once they have picked out their favorite outfit they will go to the next station and get their make-up done. Once their hair, make-up and outfit have been finished they will take some pictures. If they are satasfied with the outcome they will be given the date of our fashion show at the end of the month. They can then choose if they would like to buy the make-up that we put on them. If so we will have them buy it at the till. They will also pay for the service we have provided them. We will have many clients a day. All of us at the shop will work together so we get each client looking thier best without alot of money. At the end of the day we will clean up all of our stations. Then we will count the money that we have made. At 7 o'clock we usually close and go home for the night, so we are ready for another long day tomorrow!
