Pros

Training in blowdry styling.

Cons

Management would tell employees not to clock in at the beginning of shifts if it was a slow day; stylists regularly couldn't get the hours they were scheduled to work. Nothing is sanitized properly, meaning nothing is sanitized, meaning it's health hazard waiting to happen. Manager was a poor communicator.

Pros

HR is amazing. The salon IS very accepting of different personalities/styles in terms of they love crazy hair, and piercings and tattoos and different clothing fashions.

Cons

Your fellow stylist are a bunch of "mean girls" with bad attitudes, your pay is horrible for how hard they work you with OFTEN not have any break all shift even on doubles or maybe ONE 30 minutes on doubles, doing 7-8 clients in a row without having a minute to use the bathroom, drink water, take a bite of food you ordered 4 hours ago, bartenders steal commission and tips, its constantly under staffed and people wait 15-35 minutes for blowouts on a daily basis so not only do your clients already have bad attitudes but it takes the bartenders almost the whole blowout to grab their drink. Some stylist are SLOWWWW so you will finish your 6th blow dry while other people are finishing their 3rd so you are working twice as hard for the same pay and same break time.

Pros

Great coworkers, learn how to master styling(except updos). Fun to watch movies while styling. Discount on products and free blowouts.

Cons

No lunch breaks, constantly overbooked, have to work when you're sick. Friday's and Saturday's get so busy clients wait 45+ mins for their blowouts and are in an awful mood by the time you get to them. Always exhausted.
