Pros

Pretty good tips Fairly nice co-workers My manager was very nice (assistant manager-not so much) Okay training (could be better) Built in clientele The Redken color line

Cons

-Performing way too many extra duties in addition to hairstyling (cleaning bathrooms, mopping, washing and folding towels, checking in and out clients, having to stop while your doing hair to answer phones, etc) -Going several hours without breaks( when clients are waiting), and if you want one, having an assistant manager tell you to take 5 mins when you're starving (this during an 8 hour shift) -Bad hours -You have to bust your behind to make so so money -Tons of children's haircuts -High turnover -Poor compensation structure (Thank goodness for tips!) -Getting out of the salon 45 mins after closing at time because of cashing out and cleaning!!! And no I did not get fired, I quit because it was too much stress for too little pay. I see that someone else in the Orlando, FL area feels the same way judging by an earlier review!

Pros

Close-knit group of coworkers, casual/relaxed management style, busy location

Cons

not much flexibility for schedules (have to work late nights), color line is limited and low quality, no support from upper management and salon needed a lot of updates that I think have been taken care of now, but were left in unacceptable condition for a long time. Also, not enough structure to who takes walk-ins, which led to laziness, drama, and bad customer service.
