A worked salon week: 13 of 16 chair-shifts covered for $1,466, and the three open ones point to a Saturday hiring decision.

We added a salon staffing page to the shift roster builder, using its real command-line output on an invented four-person salon.

The numbers. 16 chair-shifts, four stylists with different days. The roster covers 13 for $1,466 with no overtime. The three it cannot fill are a second chair on Tuesday afternoon and two Saturday chairs; for Saturday it says one person is free but already on another shift. Without Mia, 19 more hours go uncovered.

What to do. Read the open shifts before the week is posted: here they mean a third Saturday stylist or a client cap, not a better rota. The team and wages are invented; no real salon was measured.
