How many styling stations does a typical independent salon have?

  1. About 5 styling stations

  2. Only 1-2 styling stations

  3. Exactly 10 styling stations

  4. More than 40 styling stations

The correct answer is: About 5 styling stations

A typical independent salon may have around 5 styling stations. This is because independent salons are usually smaller in size compared to franchise or chain salons. Having only 1-2 styling stations (B) would limit the number of clients they can serve and may not generate enough profit to sustain the business. Exactly 10 styling stations (C) seems like an odd number and is not a common number of stations for independent salons. More than 40 styling stations (D) is highly unlikely for an independent salon, as it would require a large space and a high number of employees, which is not typical for an independent salon. Therefore, option A (About 5 styling stations) is the most sensible and commonly observed number of styling stations for a typical independent salon.
