Great learning experience. Loved my job. Was hired after finishing beauty school. Management sent me to advanced training to learn the Great Clips 5 steps to sucess. Traci Johnson was my manager and also to two other stores in the area. She believed in me and gave me the chance to grow along with a few other recent graduates.

Cons

Sad I had to move away for personal reasons
