The Redmond clientele

Remote work matters for booking: 38% of Redmond's 42,229 workers are home-based (Washington: 20%). Midweek daytime appointments are easier to fill when more clients set their own hours.
46% of Redmond commuters drive alone, and 10% travel 45 minutes or more. Long commutes push appointments to early mornings and weekends, the hours when salons are most crowded.
