Business Outlook

Pros

You can make ok money if you can work 40+ hours a week

Cons

The CEO is fake. The values are fake. The VP controls the salons and has severe power control issues. Corporate will pop in and just tell you what you’re doing wrong- no support. They are horribly understaffed with no sympathy to personal schedules. They operate under intimidation tactics. The only people leaving good reviews work in HQ and are asked to leave good reviews- they don’t know the color bars. They live In denial Of how it really operates.
