Pros

Depending on your franchise you can level up in pay and make a lot of money , as long as you have good customer service you get great tips, product incentives, productivity incentives, holiday pay!

Cons

Depending on the owner and franchisee you will get great pay or absolutely horrible pay, some Greatclips you will get your credit card tips the same day. Other Greatclips add it to your check (which is absolutely ridiculous)! Some managers only car for themselves.

Thank you for being open about your experience. Since each salon is independently owned and operated, your franchisee is in the best position to help address concerns about pay, tips or management. We recommend connecting with them directly for support.
