Pros

Great customers, ok work environment

Cons

Inconsistent in scheduling, time offered to employees. Took away implements and had to wear dress code, no uniform provided. Too much out of pocket expenses for little pay and inconsistent hours given to each employee, high turnover rate, rolling vacation time, marketing only on facebook, have lack of judgement when hiring, management and company have a lot to learn

Pros

Good for beginner stylists to get an idea of salon enviornment

Cons

Expected to put salon before family emergencies, or family in general. Poor pay. Customers aren’t always nice or understanding. Huge expectations for poor compensation. Expected to make commission, EXTREMELY difficult to do so.
