Pros

Good starter job for new estheticians. Learn to wax fast and improve skills to work at a much higher end spa/ salon.

Cons

Wax is terrible. Leaves a lot of hair behind. Commission sucks as does hourly. Cash tips are good. Too much pressure to sell products and rebook clients which don't show and then they don't get charged so you end up not making any money. The free first time services suck because you don't get commission on it and people don't usually tip on free. The uniform is awful and you have to buy your own scrubs! The company plays loud annoying pop music only. Staff is gossipy and back stabbing. They hire too many estis so everyone sits around with no appts and not making any money. Owners only care about themselves and using the estis as slaves. Too corporate but when you are fresh out of school it helps you build up your experience and resume.
