Pros

You don't have to worry about finding clients since they come to you, they pay for advertising, your cards and supplies. You will likely build amazing relationships with your guests and coworkers

Cons

Micromanaging, have to constantly sell products and upsell services at all times and if you miss your monthly goals you get written up. You also have a metric system to hit and if you dont make those, you get written up. The company cares very little about you and your well being, they only view you as a dollar sign and nothing else. You are basically their cash cow and if you aren't making them any income then you are worthless and if you need to call out for an family related issues (death, kids sick etc.) well good luck because they will make you feel bad for doing so. The pay is also a joke, for the amount of schooling and training the wax specialists deserve to be paid WAY more. The fact that you essentially make $2 per $60 Brazilian is ridiculous. Cost of living is sky rocketing, get with the times and treat your employees better, they are HUMAN not machines.

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.
