Pros

Easy to get started, they take right away.

Cons

Racist GM, one of your duties is -you have to clean the rest room. They say that you will get your 9 per hour even if there are no clients, but they want you to clock out of computer then there are no clients, so you are there for free. Whenever the door opens each stylist has to say -Hi welcome to Great Clips, hundreds times per day((( They don`t let you eat your lunch normally, everything in hurry, they even count time for going into the rest room (they said I went too often))))))The worst is that you`ll loose your skills after some time because they do basic hair cuts, they don`t do texture, they do not blow dry and style, they don`t do color. They want you to cut a lot of clients at short times and they don`t care about creativity, style, texture as they need that hair cut fast and this is the only thing they care -high turn over of clients. You can`t spend more time on you client if you want to improve their look or do a better job as you spend to much time and they want you to cut in 13-16 min. There is no freedom, creativity, growth in this type of salons. If you want to grow as a hair stylist, if you want to express yourself and attend modern classes and hair shows don`t step in this type of salons, they`ll kill your passion there. I even do not want to do hair anymore((( i do not recommend to work in Grey Clips to anybody.

Pros

The only good thing about this company is that they worked with my schedule while I attended school. If you're a mom or a student looking for just a lil extra money, I'd say do it. But this job will kill you slowly if you pursue it full time.

Cons

They do not care about their customers. The stylists there can hardly cut hair to save their life. And the money you get an hour, is not worth your time, money, or effort that you wasted putting yourself through hair/cosmetology school!
