Pros

beautiful decor. great concept. very flexible schedule. Ability to make decent money. loved my clients.

Cons

I worked for the company for a long time and had really high hopes when I started. I loved working there until the last 4-5 months. Everything changed and stylists and bartenders were treated with no respect. Our regular clients were not receiving the customer service they deserved and were accustomed to from our new management. We were given no room for advancement or raises. It basically turned into a blow-dry sweatshop. We were constantly being micromanaged by upper management who have no salon background. Constant back to back blow-drys with little to no down time is an unacceptable standard and causes a lot of turn over in the salon. Also the music was so loud I could never hear my clients.

Pros

Good experience to be in the beauty industry if you don't do hair, Good way to network with the community as well

Cons

A little disorganized at time, I think the corporate policies were also a little too script sometimes whnen it came to the way clients had to be charged
