Pros
Experience in all areas like hair services, reception area & customer service. Commission is the most important benefit for you & greatest requirement for them. Tips can be somewhat rewarding, especially during holidays or with regular clientele. New clients every single day to build up clientele. Retail commission (decent % requirement) & discount for employees. Free classes. Mostly flexible schedules.
Cons
You Must do ALL types of hair services. Receptionist duties can be time consuming & inconvenient for clients in your chair. 50% of the time you may not make commission during down times. (Upsell, Upsell, Upsell) Most clients don't care to make appointments due to confusing booking requirements. Products sold to clients are not biodegradable, natural, & overpriced. Free classes can become repetitive & lack updated information. Little hours unless promoted to key holder or management. Sanitation work is reasonable, but inconvenient (short notice) cleaning duties on days/time off. Lack of communication between management & employees. Gossip & favoritism is inevitable.
