Pros

This was my first job after getting my esthetician license, they gave me a chance with no experience. I chose my own hours after being there longer than the other wax specialist. Easy to sell products and easy to sale memberships/packages. I stayed busy.

Cons

I probably worked on over 1,000 new and returning clients but out of those 2 would call and say I missed hair so I would get a wrote up and threatened to be fired over tiny complaints. Management is basically young people with little experience in the industry, it is most likely their first job managing and it gives them big heads. I was not called a team member but instead constantly referred by the manager as "her waxer." I do not like being talked to like I am owned, the wax specialist are the reason this company is booming and they are not recognized. You have a whole script you have to say with each new and returning client.

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.
