Pros

I honestly don't see any pros in working for this company other than meeting other great hairstylist.

Cons

The average hairstylist out of school make at least $12 an hour or commission, which ever is more, Smart style pay $7.25 and hour. They do not provide anything for extension hair style which is an extremely popular service now, yet if the stylist provide an extension service smart styles certainly is getting the majority of the money. I don't mind paying my way but I will not do the work and supply the products and give at least 60% to the company. I honestly think the Smart Style system is broken and need to be revamped in order to keep stylist so both the company and stylist can make money. The pay system and commission system they are using is antiquated. Smart style will continue to have high turnover and high theft if their pay system is not revamped.
