Pros

As a stylist you get to engage with pretty awesome potential clients. At my location we were allowed the have services we specialized in and we charged what was fair and reasonable. Each stylist MASTERED a additional service on top of traditionalservices . I.E. Braider, Colorist, Micro Extensions ect....

Cons

Depending on the owner your salon might thrive or go down hill. Because certain locations are being sold to buyers with no history in the beauty industry. It makes the salon team a little weak. Location is everything, because future clients see the salon in Walmart they assume the prices are cheap. If you don't have any hustle and lack passion, it just won't work, you MUST WORK to make a decent pay check .

Pros

Depending on location and employees it can be enjoyable. Hourly pay unless you hit comission

Cons

Hourly pay is low (varies by location and if it's franchised). I'm currently at $9/hr and unless you hit commission, you don't make much. I have been here for over a year and haven't hit commission yet. I was promised they would work with me and guide me onto the right path to hitting commission. Come to find out the old manager rarely hit commission.
