Pros

Good pay. High number of returning clients, so it’s not hard to build up clientele. Fun atmosphere.

Cons

Overall, the company itself isn’t bad. However, they are extremely pushy on sales. After working full time for nearly 6 months and having good sales & client numbers, I had 2 consecutive bad weeks and was bumped down to part time. Even though the store was already understaffed, they still forced me to cut my hours because I wasn’t selling enough product. Other than that, the management at my store was horrendous. It left the rest of the employees at my location with low morale and motivation. With the managers calling off at least once a week, changing their own numbers and hours in the computer, stealing from the drawer, and having scandalous relations with other people within the company, it just became too much. The same month that I left, several other girls followed suit. If you can get into a good location with good management, I highly recommend it. I loved this job, the location, the clientele, and the business brand, but my personal experience with my managers were too much to handle.

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.
