      Pros

      I enjoyed working at Great Clips. Tips were great. The team was like a big family and I enjoyed going to work every day.

      Cons

      They expected you to stay past your schedule if they were busy. I was also expected to work longer shifts, and work on my days off if they were under staffed.

      Great Clips is a franchised company and each salon is independently owned and operated by a franchisee. Franchisees and managers work hard to staff the salon for the busiest customer traffic while taking into account a work/life balance. If you would like follow up, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you were employed & details. We will forward it to the franchisee for you. Thank you.

      Pros

      could have flex hours depending on the need of business. Hourly pay is not great but tips can compensate for the low wages

      Cons

      When the customer count is down, the management can send you home way before your schedule finishing time

      Pros

      Hair cutting salon, no colors, no waxing, depends on salon you may or may not do perms. Your always walking out with tips in your pocket and you can easily build your request clients and productivity to make your paycheck bigger. Theirs always new classes you can sign up, or asking for a senior stylist to teach you new skills.

      Cons

      Timed haircuts, the business is a fast food hair cutting joint if you can get more people in and out you get a bigger check and better numbers. Sour customers your always going to get sour customers that will insult you or another employee. Sometimes you will have to have people leave the store for being rude to clients, stylist, threatening people ext.
