Pros

Coworkers were very kind and helpful. Made some great bonds there and learned a lot about color theory.

Cons

Refuses to let you post your cosmetology license in public view (illegal). They struggled to even locate mine when I quit. Middle and upper management was awful. Reported someone to hr and was told to “try and see it from their perspective”. Had time off approved one day and randomly unapproved the next. Wanted 4 weeks notice on time off but wouldn’t approve it till sometimes the day before. Not to mention an all over lack of communication. It seemed like a great place to start as a new stylist but random schedule changes inability to schedule your self any time off and just rude management will burn you out in months.

Low pay, sweat shop, does not value Cosmetologists

Colorist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has extremely high values when it comes to how you treat others which is great. They also supply snacks as well as a high demand of clients. Depending on the location your clients will definitely make it worth it being their if you a true colorist. The atmosphere is inviting and warm all the time.

Cons

The company seems to think that anyone who is a cosmetologist is a colorist. Which is completely not true. The pay is insulting compared to the actual services and expectations of the cosmetologist. They hire anyone off the street who has a cosmetology license and pay their colorist so little so they can pay engineers and techs the big bucks.
