Cons:
Your tips on card payments do not leave the register, so they get taxed. And at least at this location every single customer pays with a card. So much is taken out on my paycheck it really feels like I’m working for no tips. Each haircut you take has like a 1,0000 step list of each specific thing you need to remember and do EXACTLY how you were shown. I really wouldn’t mind all of that if I was actually getting the great tips the company bragged about which led to me applying.
Made me buy expensive new clippers
Stylists are required to pay for the products we are required to use on customers.
Stylists are responsible for any state board fines the store gets (is this legal..?) was told the stylists in the store split the cost if there is ever a fine.
Very rude management. A common response from management when asking for help is an eye roll or condescending chuckle.
Mandatory unpaid work events.
Unprofessional environment, management gossiping in front of clientele etc
Lots of late closing shifts followed by opening shifts barely 12 hours later.
