      Pros

      fast pace, only does hair cuts and occasionally perms so more customers come in and out making it so you get more tip money. Their are lots of opportunity to move up in the company to eventually even corporate. you also make hourly plus commision plus your tips. and if you are looking for part time they usually are very flexible

      Cons

      you only make 8.25 hourly so if you don't make much commision and you are in a slower location you aren't making as much money. lots of people quit and get fired so it makes it hard to have consistency and get your shift covered. in my specific syracuse location there was a bit of drama with in the employees and we are always short staffed and you pretty much always stay past your shift and sometimes dont get a lunch.

      We are sorry you had this experience while working in the salon. Because each salon is independently owned and operated, franchisees may use a number of different factors to determine stylist's total compensation. If you would like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location & details. We will forward it to the franchisee for you. If you prefer to be anonymous, please let us know and we will accommodate your request. Thank you.

      Pros

      It's constantly busy with constant shared customer flow. The salon runs on teamwork. Paid training, bonuses, 401 k, Aflac are offered. Flexible schedules can be accommodated.

      Cons

      Just like any place of work, finding the right staff is a time consuming and trial and error. We try to keep a full staff but since we are always growing sometimes we don't have enough staff on to serve the high customer counts.

      Franchisees and salon managers understand that the busiest times for haircuts are typically nights and weekends. They work hard to staff the salons for customer traffic while still taking into account a work/life balance. If you would like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you are employed & details. We will provide it to your franchisee for follow up with you. Thank you for everything you and your team do in the salon!
