That $751 wage for a plumber would be working on the top union rate and probably includes a saturday morning! :scared:

Hi Lisa

I am not a qualified hairdresser (Im a qualified PA/Office Manager) but when I get out there next month I was going to look into doing my training for Hairdressing, just want abit of advice after reading all the threads ................. is the money eventually very good or is it always a small earner ?

Not trying to offend anyone - just want to make sure its a career I can afford to do.

Any advice is fully appreciated

Thanks

Hi Stu and Mandy
Hairdressers CAN earn big money IF they are motivated and prepared to work for it.
Commission is paid on top of base salary so its up to the stylist if they want to make money. Unfortunately, in my experience, stylists just dont have the desire or motivation to EARN their money

Thanks Lisa

I agree about being motivated, it was just after reading some of the threads that made me think like that.

I'm defo going to look into it and do my training !

Thanks again

PS Were abouts is your salon ? Only because I need a good hairdressers to keep my roots from showing thru !!

Hi Mandy,

I have completed my hairdressing training here in Australia, took me 1 and a half years of a full time course and I finished as a 3rd year, I just wanted to tell you to think about it carefully, there are loads of jobs for hairdressers you would find work easily, but for 3rd year level you will be on between $10 and $15 an hour, you are expected to work very long hours, including weekends and late nights, the course costs a lot of money to do, for me it was a complete waste of time, as I am 32 I just couldn't live on that kind of pay, you wouldn't be qualified for about 2 years after doing your training, so the money is so poor. After a while I gave up on the hairdressing, I wasn't prepared to work the hours for the crap money. I make a lot more doing other work and half the hours. Just be careful what you choose to do, if your young with no kids then go for it, but if you have kids and a family be prepared to be working all the hours.
Good luck with your move

Lisa

Thank you lisa,
Its been really hard trying to find someone!
Alot of people have said that should an employer sponsor you, would they take the cost out of your salary every week?
It would really be great if you could help...
regards
cheryl

Thanks for that info - much appreciated. I think you have opened my eyes because I am 30 and although have no children yet I am hoping to start a family within the next few years. I was looking at hairdressing because I am in a real dilemma about my career - I have been a PA/Office Manager for about 5 years then I had a total career change and worked as a Nursing Assistant for 18 months at our local hospital (was thinking of going into nursing), which ever way I look at it - I think it will be hard to re-train at the moment as it wil cost a fortune and if I really want kiddies then it will be harder with money !!!

Looks like I will be going back into office work and getting my Ebay up and running lol

Thanks again for advice

lacey21

cheryl we have all asked for the sponsor thing, I have been on here a year and a half, I asked ages ago and she never got back. I guess the answer was a fat NO!

I am qualified with my own buisness. Good luck if you get this from her.
cheers

Just waiting for house to go through!!!! thanks, mark
