Pros

Great clientele, fast paced, great tips. Good place for someone starting in the industry.

Cons

Incompetent owners that don't care, Management threw baby fits (took hours for doing something she didn't like), favoritism, cliques. No breaks per law. Lots of standing (to be expected though) you're expected to play stylist, receptionist and be happy through it all when there are only two of you and you're packed. They tell you you get paid for closing, but you don't. You switch to closing, close, then it tells you to clock out before the paperwork is even sent (takes up to 15 minutes). Open door policy sure is open! Anything you say will be on the salon floor the next day! I asked four former employee's about GC before I started working there if I should take the job, they all said no. Should have listened!

Pros

Fast money, immediate clientele that's all the pros I have. Nasty clients come in and you can't shampoo their heads till they agree to pay for a shampoo. Managers don't know what they are doing and if they don't then you know the stylist don't.

Cons

They work you to death never takin into consideration that you need a break from the cattle hurdling! Pay is not what you could make in full service. The rules always change as well as managers and employees. You have no time to build a relationship with your clients. They hire people straight out of school so good luck getting a fabulous cut cause it's not gonna happen. Even the managers cut hair to fast to do it right. I wouldn't work there ever again even if they offered me $50 as a base pay they couldn't get me back.
