Pros

-Great opportunities -Can work on a temporary license -Plenty of flexibility in scheduling -Ability to really build finishing skills, as well as increase retail sales experience -Dress code is super easy -A really fun environment! -Management is good about getting in the trenches and helping the shop run. -Snacks in the breakroom. Never underestimate the power of snacks.

Cons

-At times it is frustrating having your shift cut, but this happens at almost any service gig. -The hourly pay isn't that great, to really make money you have to sell products, upsell Add on services, and hope for overtime and heavy tippers. -No Assistants to shampoo clients or clean the shop; Its all up to stylists/management

Pros

Great products but that's about where it ends .. Setups of the salons waste space although they do look nice!

Cons

They have horrible labor saving tactics. You'll be asked to take a longer period during lulls which is unpaid so they can save $. You will be asked to leave early if it's slow and also told not to come in an hour and a half before your shift. I'm not sure of the legality of any of this.. There is Zero incentive to work harder except if you get good ratings you get $1 extra or if you want to move on to management so you can be extremely underpaid. Treatments you do that cost clients an extra $10 you get $1. Very labor intensive for zero recognition or reward.
