Pros

Flexible and nice group of girls to work with. Would recommend to any person looking for in depth waxing experience -- but is not a great long term option as it takes its toll physically.

Cons

Low hourly wage, and 5% commission on services is a joke and basically slave labor -- $3.50 for a back breaking $70 leg wax is basically what you're getting. Then you can expect to be tipped a measly $3.00; if at all. The work can be incredibly grueling, with no breaks, if you work at a busy center. also the company late policy is ridiculous -- clients are allowed to be 9 minutes late to a 15 minute appointment, backing up your appointments and having to deal with angry clients, with the added stress of time restraints. It can quickly turn into a nightmare.

Pros

Great coworkers, supportive team environment, loyal clients, and valuable opportunities to develop professional skills.

Cons

I’d like to raise some concerns about communication and fairness. We are asked to communicate everything, yet often our messages go unanswered or are met with a negative attitude. There is also a sense of favoritism in time-off approvals. Last-minute scheduling changes have disrupted my plans due to lack of notice. I’ve been incorrectly scheduled due to miscommunication, and I’ve had intense shifts without reasonable breaks. Additionally, our manager consistently arrives later than anyone, often when clients are waiting to pay, yet she gives attitude to others for minor delays. On top of that, product management is often last-minute. We run out of supplies like products, creams, or paper, and it only gets addressed when urgent, forcing us to scramble between rooms. I’m bringing these concerns forward because I hope for a more consistent, supportive, and equitable work environment for all of us.
