A salon has the same amount of customers every day. Each customer needs 1 can of hairspray during the styling and is also given 1 can of hairspray to take home. The salon also buys an extra 5 cans of hairspray each day to ensure there is never a shortage. If the salon buys 33 cans of hairspray every day, how many customers do they have each day?

How many cans of hairspray does the salon need? ** Removing the surplus hairspray shows the salon needs 33 total cans of hairspray – 5 surplus cans of hairspray = <<33-5=28>>28 cans of hairspray for each customer.
How many cans of hairspray does each customer need? ** Each customer needs 1 can of hairspray for styling + 1 can of hairspray to take home = <<1+1=2>>2 cans of hairspray.
How many customers does the salon have each day? ** So the salon has a total of 28 cans of hairspray / 2 cans of hairspray per customer = <<28/2=14>>14 customers.
