Unpleasant atmosphere

Pros

You always have a pay check even if you are not busy. Products are nice to work with.

Cons

Pay is minimum wage and impossible to improve. Not enough hours given to even keep two people on staff at all times. So lots of customer complaints about this. Im in a salon where everyone needs and wants full time, but cant get it. Customers think we are owned by walmart and should be dirt cheap prices . I never had these problems when i worked at a regis salon. Why in te values?
