|---|
| Work Hours | Fewer hours, typically less than 30 hours/week | Full schedule, usually 35-40 hours/week |
| Credentials | Required cosmetology license, similar to full-time stylists | Same licensing requirements as part-time stylists |
| Work Environment | Salon or spa, similar to full-time roles | Same as part-time, often in the same settings |
