Pros

The concept is great, not about getting people in and out as much as it is about the entire Client Experience! Yes they do expect you to go a haircut in a REASONABLE amount of time (20 min) but that's not what it's all about. Generally speaking they hire people on personality to creat a great atmosphere. You do need to realize that it is a franchise so unfortunately some owners may have their own agenda a may think that more haircuts is more money but that is not what the company was created for. They pride themselves on a client experience and the stylist pay plan is created for the stylist to work smarter not harder. There is plenty of room for growth especially if your owner has multiple stores. Since they are nation wide you also have the opportunity to transfer within the company if you have a life change as long as you are meeting the bare minimum requirements. I have worked in a few different salons one was Supercuts, I must say this is the best place I have worked!!!! I have been with the company for over three years and still love it!

Cons

Working nights and weekends and they are open 7 days a week. This is really just how it is in customer service in general and I knew this going into hair.

Pros

Health Insurance and 401k definitely help. A lot of hairdressers are moms and some of them single moms, so these benefits help a lot! My team leader and area manager are amazing at helping and keeping me feeling good about how I'm doing.

Cons

none, I have to say, if you're willing to work and make something of yourself and want to work for a great company that will recognize that. This is the place to be!

Pros

No pros beside it being a paycheck

Cons

Wasn’t allowed to have colored hair as a stylist, franchise owners in Arizona push their conservative beliefs on employees, didn’t even allow facial piercings, as time goes by and I’m working at an amazing salon and being treated for what I’m worth, being valued and paid an actual living wage, being allowed to express my individuality, being able to finally find somewhere where I’ve been able to blossom in my 8 years of hairdressing, I’m realizing just how awfully sport clips treats their employees, absolute joke of a wage for the productivity, work, and hours they expect, started here fresh out of beauty school and was constantly undermined, a lot of workplace bullying, favoritism, outcasting stylists that didn’t fit the perfect Sportclips “ideal.” Unless you want to be a slave to Sportclips, and constantly told cut faster cut faster sell more sell more and creating an uncomfortable experience for the stylist and client, making it feel like a sales job, it’s such an outdated way to operate, to hit numbers for the commission you’d have to sell like a car seller and do 10-15 minute haircuts for hours on end. don’t work here. Not to mention the average tip clients leave is 5-7 while you get a minimum wage hourly. Just a spit in the face.
