<p>My daughter has an interview at a spa business as the receptionsit, And yes it’s a legitimate place!!! </p>
<p>Anyway, what does one wear to that kind of job interview? Business attire seems a bit much, but how casual can one go? my d lives in yoga pants and has the outfits for office interviews, etc, but this is a new one for her.</p>
<p>I would say a nice collar shirt (cotton/silk) with dressy pants, or even a conservative dress (wrap dress) should be fine. I think a suit would be too much. </p>
<p>I would say most spa business are legitimate, and very professional. I go to them often. It takes a lot of skills to juggle scheduling for customers and maturity to deal with some demanding customers.</p>
<p>I have my hair done at an upscale salon/spa. The staff, including receptionists, are usually dressed in black pants, black pencil skirt, blouse, with heels/boots, or a nice black/grey wrap dress with heels/boots. From your daughter’s interview attire nice pants, or a skirt, with a blouse, and heels/boots would be fine. She wouldn’t need the jacket.</p>
<p>wearing black or whatever they wear at that business is a good idea…have her look like she will fit right in. Make sure she is impeccably groomed the day she goes for the interview…nails done, hair perfect, etc…because she is essentially giving the first impression of what they are selling. She might want to go look in the window of the business (being anonymous) to see what vibe the business has.</p>
<p>Goi g for blouse, blaCk pants, and flats, I’ll remind her about the nails!!! She used to be. Nail biter,so she’s pretty could about keepingnthem nice now. Oh and she looked them up and saw employees wear black pants and a company polo shirt…</p>
<p>Thanks all, will let you know how it goes</p>
<p>At the salon-spa that I go to, the dress code is dressy black and a pop of color is allowed. The staff always looks ready to head to the cocktail bar! For an interview – I would copy the style and I agree – perfectly groomed.</p>
<p>I can only reiterate perfectly groomed. Fresh manicure etc .</p>
<p>I think a suit should always be worn for a formal job interview. What one wears after hiring is another thing entirely, but a candidate should show that he/she takes the interview seriously.</p>
<p>I tend to agree with the suit, however at a spa or gym or salon a full on suit may be too much, so daughter is wearing a nice blouse, black pants, black flats, and a nice cardigan.</p>
<p>Her blazer for suit is too heavy forthis time of year, and something we need to shop for soon.</p>
<p>I once showed up for a job at a limber yard in a pink skirt suit when I was in high school.</p>
<p>I bet you got the job.</p>
<p>A limber yard? Is that like a spa? (sorry, couldn’t resist)</p>
<p>^LOL, cnp55!!!</p>
<p>A receptionist job? Couldn’t the applicant or a friend “scout” the place and see how the receptionist and others dressed? Then dress up a notch or few for the interview.</p>
