Pros

It's easy to build a client base.

Cons

•Pay-they are supposed to pay base pay plus tips but they take the electronic tips out of your check. I am a single mom with 2 kids. Working 40+ hours a week and got $400 pay checks. •Management- they don't care about their stylists. We formally complained so many times about our former manager, clients did as well, and since she was friends with corporate she got away with everything. •Scheduling- our manager was changing the schedule multiple times a week, sometimes even daily. Without notifying us. •Salon-our salon was the forgotten one. Falling apart. The floors were gross no matter how often we cleaned them. •Commission-they make it impossible to hit commission goals. So you stay on base pay. •Staff- they keep the salons understaffed. There were so many days I didn't get even a bathroom break all day.

Pros

Your doing what you love to do!

Cons

Lossy pay, cheap guest, poor upper management, they only cater to one type of clientele. Even thought they state there versatile. You will never commission because there aren't enough guest that come there. Not sure if it's because it's in Walmart. With the location people think it's low end hair styling. They hire a lot of girls who can't cut.
