Pros

You can make good money if you try (i got payed $9.00 per hour plus tips and commission) , easy to get hired at(they didnt even give me a real interview, i sent them my resume and they met with me to ask what days i could come for training) , payed training(only at some locations) , good commission (10% retail, 5% services), lots of down time

Cons

SO unorganized (manager would text me when to come in for training, then when i would go she would say they forgot i was coming so there was no one to train me), had me doing bikini waxes before they trained me how which lead to many unhappy customers, no set schedules (they would text me the day before saying i had to work tomorrow). One morning they sent me a text asking why i wasnt there and i said because no one told me to work that day. I tried to tell them how unprofessional they were being and she said "they're too busy running a fortune 500 company" and then they never texted or called me to work again so i guess i was fired. you have to buy scrubs, shoes, and special expensive tweezers before you can start, no opportunitys to advance.

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.
