sorry its been a while, the time had just whizzed by!!!! anyway i thought i would let you know how its all going now-have finally managed to get some money out of the salon i did a weeks work for, allbeit alot less than i had calculated but after 3 phone calls i was sort of expecting to be stitched up once i have banked the cheque and its cleared, i will then get in contact again for a payslip!!! as they have chosen to omit that so far!

right, there was a job advertised in our local paper last Wed for a new salon opening in May, i called at 7pm that night and left a message in the mobile number, she called me back at 8 the next morning and we met up at midday for a chat, its a partnership-the non hairdressing lady already owns 2 salons locally (warnbro & mandurah) and the hairdressing partner has been running the warnbro one but wanted to open her own, so they have decided to open this new one in the new Baldivis shopping center. I have got to do a trade test this thurs and my neighbour is going to be my model for me, there is also another guy who will be working there and we are all from the same area in the UK (within approx 30mile radius) and my proposed boss has said not to worry about the registration as they will help me with all that, so thats great, she seems really nice and we are on the same wave length, she has been here 6 yrs and said she had a similar experience to me in the first salon she worked in and only stayed a week too, annyway, i will let you know how i get on,

cheers

hope this helps anyone who was stressing (like me) about the mens/face shave part. or maybe it WAS just me stressing about it

just reading through your messages, (I'm completely new to this hubby on here all the time!) but had to reply when you said about face shaving. You are not the only one worried about that I am very relieved you don't have to do it!
Congrats on getting the job. Hope it all goes ok.

As you have been out there for a yr i was woundering if you could advise me.
Im 24 and wanting to come over to oz at the end of feb 08 to work in a salon. I can get excepted for a skilled visa but think it will take 9 months to process which is too long really. so do i just go for a working visa which allows 3 months working in one place and hopefully get sponsorship as i would like to stay over there, if i find a nice salon.
Im torn and running out of time i have nvq level 3 city and guilds.
hope to hear from you
