Question for hairdressers about apprenticeship trial?

[LethargeMarg]

My daughter has a trial for a hairdressing apprenticeship . I know this is a really random question but how smart / casual should she be? Obviously she knows to look well presented with good hair and make up but I don't know how smart she will be expected to be if there all day as opposed to an interview? She's thinking black jumpsuit and leopard print sandals - I'm wondering if sandals are appropriate but she thinks 'smart' type shoes will look old fashioned. My hairdresser always wears jeans and trainers so I am conscious she could look over the top but don't want her to look scruffy either . Any advice appreciated

I'd go smart black trousers and a black top but closed toe shoes, my DD used to work in a hairdressers and they had H&S procedures regarding shoes.
If she gets the job she can adjust her work wear based on what everyone else wears.
Fingers crossed she gets the job!

No open shoes, all that hair, grim.

Thanks hadn't thought about the health and safety aspect of sandals will go shoe shopping tomorrow !

When i trained,we where told no open shoes/min make up/min jewellery/hair neatly tied back/no flappy sleeves/no baggy clothes

good luck!
