I am new to the hair industry.

Business Outlook

Pros

I enjoy the comission plus salary if you don't hit your goals so your guaranteed a pay check. I love not having to push products on people and there very flexible with hours. I get most Sundays off and free tools to start. Great place to go if your fresh in the industry and need to get started.

Cons

I feel like the starting wage could be more as well as the amount of comission given. The company does not allow the managers to do there job.

Business Outlook

Pros

If you get into a good store the atmosphere is nice.

Cons

No advanced education or encouragement to find any on your own, impossible to build a clientele, and subpar product - matrix color and perms that don't hold, and designline back bar. they provide styling tools but they aren't even as good as the ones you get in school.
