Pros

Clients are booked for you. Made good friends.

Cons

Salary is not what they advertise. Its misleading. Its a sweat shop slavery and you have to function like a machine. Back to back. Training is humiliating and you practice right away on real clients without trying on models. It is expected you can Brazilian wax right away. You are not appreciated, just a number. Tips are cheap, even in L.A. area. I resigned cause I had dignity.

Pros

You are acknowledged for your successes that you bring the company, and can make good money during busy times. Some holidays off.

Cons

Management is extremely aggressive and will tell you that you’re replaceable. High turn over. No benefits or insurance is offered. They study every thing you say and do from the cameras and will confront you in a heartbeat. They nit pick every little thing that you do almost to the point of trying to chase you away. Will lie to you about the schedule and time off just to get you hired on. You get 5 days off an entire year for two years and then it’s only 10 days from that point on. When new people get hired on you have to cover their shifts with your typical schedule on top of only having 5 days off. Also have to pick up around holidays so you’re slaying to the company. They will change up your schedule without notifying you.. and lie about what they can and cannot do to accommodate any mishaps you may have. The managers are strictly money hungry and ONLY and FOREVER care about their guests. Managers have no experience being a hair stylist or esthetician so they are not trained to cover anyone’s shift. All of the employees have certain scripts to say to guests to get them to buy all the company is there for us their guests money.
