      Don't stay in a place like this for too long

      Pros

      Tips can be good depending on location. Good for newbies trying to build speed and efficiency.

      Cons

      This is a chop shop so it's strenuous work, stylists are overwhelmed with back to back to back clients due to being short staffed. Long hours, 30 min lunch breaks. Some locations have really sorry tippers and tips will make up most of your paycheck. You can make money, but you'll collapse at the end of your shift.

      Because each salon is independently owned and operated, franchisees may use a number of different factors to determine total compensation. If you would like to share more, please email Jeanne@greatclips.com. We will provide it to the franchisee for you. Thank you.

      Pros

      Lots of cash tips everyday. Good customer base. Lots of advertising. Clean salon. On going training. Stylists are friendly. It’s of products to sell. 10% commission on product sales. They let your customers request you which is good. They have an awesome app for smarts phones.

      Cons

      Times haircuts; 8-15 mins is not long enough for a consultation and precision haircut. Many management issues I could never get the days and times off for appointments outside of work. The benefits were not the best. Vacation time was paid at minimum wage.

      Pros

      Customers Tips Continuous Education There are really not a lot of Pros for this company. Each location is franchise owned and the corporation takes no responsibility in making sure employees are treated respectfully and fairly. Corporate also encourages work over family ALWAYS

      Cons

      Abusive Management Hostile Work Environment No Work Life Balance Corporate doesn’t care about employees since they are franchise owned. Corporate encourages company first family last.
