Pros

Love working with the stylists. Free blowouts. 50% OFF products and tools.

Cons

1. Although most of the stylists are nice and understand its not your fault that they don't get a break or have to do clients back to back, there will be days when they will choose to hate you. 2. So tired of this buttercup situation, wouldn't it be better if we could just give a client their appointment and make sure she's taken on time instead of blaming the stylists for not doing 15-minute blowouts AND styling? 3. Management is horrible. They don't care. They'll only listen once you call HR at least a couple of times. 4. The manager is just there to be the face, someone the client can scream at but has absolutely no say as to who they hire or fire. 5. They will hire pretty much anyone. I mean it... 6. High expectations of the shop in general, they pay very little to have us be maids. 7. When the DM comes over, we're supposed to feel nervous when in reality they probably wouldn't be able to handle the shop on a Saturday with 4 buttercups open. I would LOVE of the DM's to come and actually work a Saturday same as the other stylists with us rushing them to take clients and then explain to them what's happening.

Pros

My managers are really fun to work with and genuinely care about each and everyone of use

Cons

they over work stylist due to the stupid way corporate makes everyone run their books. We literally had two mental breakdowns by stylist in a row because of the fact on really busy days you don’t get any breaks and barely enough time to shove some food and water down your throat before taking your next client.

Pros

Training on blowouts, and they provide clients.

Cons

Most experienced Stylists will be horrified working here. They treat their Stylists like mules. Strange imbalance in “chores” between Stylists and Receptionists. Mind numbing work...only blowing out hair gets really boring. I mentioned the training as a “pro,” but the way some of the management trains was degrading (specifically the Scottsdale manager). That set a bad tone for me personally right from the start. They get the majority of their business from Groupon.
