Pros

Great pay, amazing tips, laid back work environment, always busy because of trusted name. Most managers will work with you on scheduling. Free training that you get paid for. Health benefits, paid vacation, hourly plus two types of commission. You get out what you put in. Team environment..in most salons it's a very cut throat every man for himself type environment. At sport clips every one is willing to help and pitch in.

Cons

If you have visible piercings or tattoos, be prepared to take them out and cover them up. Only natural hair colors. Always have to have your hair and make up done. Very strict system that you must follow to keep your job. There is a certain way to greet the client, set up your station, certain way to cut the hair, and how to wash it. There is even a certain way you have to talk to the client. If you can't comply then you're out the door.

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more and creating an uncomfortable experience for the stylist and client, making it feel like a sales job, it’s such an outdated way to operate, to hit numbers for the commission you’d have to sell like a car seller and do 10-15 minute haircuts for hours on end.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.
