Pros

Free waxing Give you clients Learn to wax fast

Cons

HORRIBLE management, worked at multiple locations and they were all terrible. Maybe hire some managers who know the beauty industry. Micromanage Difficult to get time off No benefits Min wage and no consideration for increase in wages (one manager actually cut my pay $1 from my hourly!) No self expression Rushed with services So many discounts that you don’t get compensated for so you end up making even less money They’re all money hungry, they don’t care about you, they push products even though you get a very small cut You’re basically making them so much money and getting 5% commission... when you are waxing up to 4 people per hour. There are so many more things to stay but I’ll stop, don’t work here, don’t support this corporation, you’ll leave frustrated and defeated High turnover rate

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.
