Is this illegal? Unpaid labor?

Im a baby stylist, and I just had a “shadow day” (what the salon owner called it, she said to come in for a shadow day, no other explanation?) tryout for a job in a salon. they had me come in at 11am and I don’t know what exactly I was expecting but it wasn’t a full 7 hour day of unpaid labor. I did three hair washes, sweeping, taking care of stuff around the salon, and partial blow dry. She let me off at 5pm.
I got a 30 minute break, but it just feels like this maybe isn’t legal??
There is no document signed, no other information shared, she just said she would be in touch.
What can I do in this situation??

I’ve had a bad experience before this in a salon where they fully hired me and said I was doing great, then had me come in for my shift in the morning, pulled me aside after putting my stuff down for the day, and then fired me because they couldn’t train me.

Why is being a baby stylist so hard!!!!!! How do I get out of this, is there any legal action I can pursue???

Fired for not being trained

Well. I got fired today from my first salon job, I got my license in February and started working at a very small high end salon. I had been working there for two weeks, and I had not been trained whatsoever. I was given the dirty work. Right before I was fired I had been bleaching stains out of the wash bowls. I was given 0 training. I came into work this morning, and the owner was training a new receptionist. When she pulled me aside, the owner said she had no time to train me. I’m wondering why they were looking for an apprentice if they had no time to train me. Has anyone else had this experience?
