Great Clips reviews

If you are a PT employee and don’t work weekends, they don’t guarantee any hours, so one week you can get 24h, another more if it’s really busy and they need you, and yet when it gets slow or they keep hiring more people they can give you as little as 5hours. There is no loyalty to hairstylists with experience that have great numbers and you will get punished just because you don’t work weekends even though that’s how you were hired, to give those full time employees their days off during the week. They only use you when they need you and other than that you’re supposed to wait until it’s busy season again to get more hours. Pretty disappointing…

The pay is $17/ hour so fast food workers will make more than you. They include your tips as part of your pay, so you hold no value as an employee at $17/hour. There is no structure, which leads to poor customer service. The expectations are non existent, and they don't follow the employee hand book. You basically can do what ever you want with no consequences. However, they will write you up for absolutely everything. The leadership in this franchise is old and out dated, and most of the time is non existent. You can be the worst employee ever and not lose your job. Because of all the failure of leadership the business is slow. Great Clips as a corporation should be way more involved. Everybody across the board is losing money from the stylists, who go into this industry to make a living, the owner who has to be losing money, and the corporation who is also losing money. This would be a great place to work if a fair wage was paid. This would be a great place to work if the franchise had strong leadership and let the managers do their job. This would be a great place to work if Great Clips as a corporation set stronger guidelines for pay and consistency of leadership. They don't. Workers are exploited at $17/hour. They are skilled labor. If Great Clips wants to be Great then do something Great. The response Great Clips will give to this review will be to separate themselves from the franchise. To be a great company everyone has to be involved. Voices need to be heard and action need to be taken. Dont work for this company until change is made
