Pros

Clients are booked for you. Made good friends.

Cons

Salary is not what they advertise. Its misleading. Its a sweat shop slavery and you have to function like a machine. Back to back. Training is humiliating and you practice right away on real clients without trying on models. It is expected you can Brazilian wax right away. You are not appreciated, just a number. Tips are cheap, even in L.A. area. I resigned cause I had dignity.

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.
