Today, my dad, under threats of disowning me, insisted that I offer my sister a job in my company. I run my own law firm, she is a hairdresser. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents want me to become a lawyer, all because our family members keep getting into feuds and court cases. I'm a successful developer, and run my own company. FML
Today, I proposed to the girl I have known for a while, since our Dads have worked together for 40 years. After I rang my Dad to tell him the good news, he told me that there was a position open at work, which had belonged to her Dad. My Dad had to fire him. FML
Today, my sister got fired and I got promoted to her job, got a nice payrise for it. My relationship with my sister will never be the same again. FML
Today, my job interview got canceled. I later found out it's because my sister got the brilliant idea to go talk to the manager to "advocate" for me, and they thought I put her up to it. FML
Today, my little sister, who's still in high school, proved beyond a doubt she's better at my computer repair job than I am. She proved it in front of my customers and my manager, who brushed me aside and offered her a job as soon as she graduates. FML
Today, I got a notice in the mail saying I had been fired from my job. My dad's the boss, who I happen to live with. FML
Today, my mom told me that she doesn't want me to help any of my friends get a job at the restaurant I work at. Apparently, she thinks that they would do a better job than me and get me fired. FML
Today, I thought my dad was finally showing interest in the business I started last year when he asked about my next event. Nope, he just wanted to know if I would hire his step-granddaughter. Her first question? "So, I won't have to do any like, real work right?" Gee, thanks Dad. FML
Today, I was telling one of my patients I was upset because my sister wants to go to beauty school, and that I don't want her getting a worthless qualification and to aim higher. My patient replied by saying she's a hair dresser. FML
Today, I was let go from my stepmom's family business because she and my dad are getting a divorce, and she says it's too painful and awkward to have me still hired on. I can't afford a wrongful termination suit. FML

It's not up to you or your father to supply your sister with a job. Especially if she's under qualified. FYL

Well the firm's customers could benefit and the hair dresser could be an alibi! Or maybe that's just legally blonde!

Have her work the mail room.

She could maybe be the receptionist or file papers in the back

OP, she's family. Don't take too much tension in deciding what to do. Give her a job where she can easily learn the skills necessary [i.e. secretary/assistant, courier, housekeeper]. You never know what blessings will come your way later. Set the ground rules and expectations. Even though she's family, it's business and professionalism is key. If she doesn't adhere to your rules, explain to her why she must be terminated. Who knows? Perhaps one day she'll either go out looking for her own line of work back in cosmetology or she just may excel in your field and you just may inspire her to go back to school and get a degree in law. Keep your chin up and smile on.

I would say professionalism would stop right in the moment when he hired an unqualified worker who is his sister because daddy was threatening him.

You own your own law firm - you must be doing well and not need dad's money unless he's got millions - so in this case think of the three words invented for just such an time... **** YOU DAD!

Sounds really useful, if you get any good cases at least your hair and your clients hair will look nice. That is unless the reason for your sister to be looking work is that she's terrible with hair. Although the fact that she chose that path and was able to receive a degree of some sort in cosmetology suggests she at least knows a thing or two. At least giving a good opinion on styles to help present a good image when standing before a judge in any court of law. Appearance is half the fight.

Disownment might not be a bad option
