Receptionist?

I have a salon with 12 staff. We currentley have never had receptionist. we are thinking it may be the next steep for the salon recruitment. Im trying to way up the fors and againsts. Can anybody give me some imput for both sides so I can make my decision beforet the christmass rush?

i no .......... we have 2 and they are fantastic, go marita and rick!! Great work, when you have such a busy salon going, the last thing you want to do when in the middle of a cut or color is answer the phone......... but if i have to i do!!

What do you think the benifits to the clients are?

Geeze, where do i start...
Their ability to ensure that the salon operates efficiently as possible, allowing the stylists and apprentices alike to gain the most out of their available time with clients while providing a higher level of personal customer service than would otherwise be possible. In addition to the fact that their barrista qualities are put to good use; all provide for many advantages in employing an 'Administrative/Operational' representative within your salon.

Not to mention IT skills!
