I have a job interview for receptionist at hair/nail/beauty salon?

I don't have any experience as a receptionist, but I do think I'd be good at it.





Anyone know what I can say to impress them? (I used to use the phone a lot at my last job in a jewellery store, mainly calling in clients for jewellery repairs, or following up on potential clients to ask if they had any more questions on an engagement ring they were looking at)





Also, do you have any tips to give on being a better receptionist?I have a job interview for receptionist at hair/nail/beauty salon?
Being a receptionist at a hair salon can be grueling more than you think, also it depends on the size of the Salon as to what your duties are......you need to be able to make appointments because to them TIME IS MONEY, for the stylist,nail techs, and any other professionals that might be there,you will need to know approximately how long your stylist needs to preform a service such as a cut or color or curl or all the above at one appointment, for the nail tech you will need to know how long they need to preform a pedicure,or manicure,or polish, or set of nail enhancements or all the above at one time, and so on and so forth.


You will need to be famillar with the hair,nail and skin care products they may carry, this will come in time.


You need to have a very outgoing personality.


You need to know how to work a computer,these days most Salons have up to date computers for making change putting in addresses etc.


You need to be to know how to set up shelves and set products in shelves to sell.


You need to know how to sell the person on a product (especially if you make a commission on a sale)


You need to be able to count money,make change,clean toilets as well as clean the floor...yes I said toilets.


You need to know how to take inventory.


But something that will benifit you is %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;


Have fun, enjoy your job, and tell everyone they look MARVLOUS! when they leave lol!


Being a Salon reciptionist can be very fun and most of the things I mentioned will be learned on the job, it can be overwhelming but once you learn the ropes you might just love it.I have a job interview for receptionist at hair/nail/beauty salon?
smile! and make sure you hair and nails are nice
Be confident.





Let them know you are an organized individual with excellent people skills. You enjoy interacting with the public. You are inventive in creating procedures that streamline the day-to-day tasks.





And that you are excited to be challenged by the new position, and look forward to the opportunity.





I just went through 300 interviews over the past year, looking for the exact job i wanted, and i just got it... 3 days ago. Doing web design and development for a chain of radio stations.
Hun, your last job pretty much prepared you for being a receptionist. Some places also have you run errands and run the cash till.





Just reassure them that you are a quick study, you've had some experience in the field and that you love salons.





As for being a better receptionist, it just comes with time and is dependent upon what you do. Don't get too upset with angry customers, everyone has a bad day and sometimes you get yelled at for someone elses mistakes.
