Pros

- tips, pay could be good if you work at a good location. - choose what days and how many days to work. - pick up shifts when you need extra cash - can be fun sometimes

Cons

- mandatory to work a sat or sun. not fair to the majority of stylist that work at hair salons or have other jobs that require weekends. - minimum pay - aside from blow drying 8 hours a day you are also required to do the housekeeping. you will be cleaning toilets as well as blow drying. - extremely corporate. - no part time days. 7-8 hours minimum. they don’t care how much your body hurts. - you only get a 30 min break on an 8 hour day and clients are treated like cattle so sometimes you are doing back to back blow dries.

Pros

STYLIST: -You learn how to work with all hair types -You learn how to communicate better with clients -You learn how to understand what the client wants even if they don't know how to describe it. -You get a better sense of what salon life is like working at place like this based on different client needs and personalities -You pick up on speed -You learn how to sell products. BARTENDER: -You learn communication skills -How to work the Booker System (Which most salons use) -Learn how to work with scheduling conflicts -Learns how to sell products and additional services -Learns how to diffuse situations and keep clients calm when they might be seen late.

Cons

STYLIST: - Always over booked and understaffed. - Poor pay, you only get the whole $15 if you don't get tip and/or if you take vacation and sick time. You will only get paid $13 and hour plus they take money out of tips on card for tip credit. -Not allowed to take breaks, even if you are feeling sick from not being able to eat. -Appointment scheduling had changed from 45 to 30 min. to make room for more appointments. Not everyone has 30 minute hair so the pressure is always on. -clients are allowed to disrespect staff -Even if the client is in the wrong, the client is always "right" and will be rewarded *Not every location follows State Board protocol when it comes to sanitation. I highly recommend that you take care of your own brushes and clips for that reason. * BARTENDER: - Gets yelled at by clients constantly during rush hour times and on busy days. - Multitask cleaning the whole shop and serving drinks while never leaving the front. - Does not get to participate in certain raffles amongst staff -Very under appreciated - Constant schedule rotations sometimes by week other times by month. -Difficult to take time off.
