Pros

Excellent products!Love the Exclusive Comfort Wax!Very Clean Facility and Friendly Staff!

Cons

I was hired as a wax specialist and went through training.It was very intense and stressful to memorize scripts and patterns in short length of time.I was determined to learn and to make this my career.I had a excellent wax trainer that went above and beyond to make sure I was trained !She ask me how did I feel after training.I told her I needed one more day to make sure its done properly bcz I didnt want a guest to come back complainin about her service.She said I will talk to my manager to see what we can do.I had 3 days off before my shift started and I took time to stud and prepare and I was ready!!I got a phone call from my manager to tell me I was let go bcz of m technique and to return my training tools.After I hung up I was angry bcz I gave my very best and I! waisted money on scrubs and tools that I will not use and no job!I thought I was hired when I filled out new hire forms.I do not want anyone to go thru what I experienced.I feel like the manager should have told me that after training Iam not gurantee a job or at least give me one more day!I felt decieved !The company has potential!After hearing simliar experiences from other people There protocol of hiring and leting people go sends a red flag!

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.
