Pros

The salon was busy so tips were great and easy to make. It was a great starting salon to build skills and techniques. The salon also provided products to use.

Cons

Management didn't go by their own rules- taking excessive lunch breaks and hiding out in the office while customers sat in the waiting room. Reviews and evaluations were often fabricated or rushed.

Pros

Paid training, some locations may offer benefits depending on the franchisee, great place for new beauty school graduates, easy haircutting system

Cons

hair cuts are cheap so tips wont be as good as you might expect, only haircuts are offered (and perms in some locations)..which means no color which brings in big bucks for stylists, this isn't a company that seems to care about keeping their employees, turnover rates were high at my salon because of dissatisfaction, there is no hotline for employees to call if they are cocerned their owner or manager isnt doing their job, haircuts must be produced in under 17 minutes, shampooing is not included in a hair cut, non stylists can own a salon, which means someone who doesnt understand the industry might be telling you what to do, my salon wasn't even making payroll, so someone with poor marketing or management skills could own a salon as well, at my salon paychecks were written with personal checks, which meant you couldnt cash them/have your money right away..very unprofessional and inconvinient.

Pros

Stylists are nice, fun to sit in the back and talk when it's slow, some customers and wonderful to talk to and sweet and kind and all that good stuff.

Cons

The fake friendly "Hi, welcome to great clips!" and speaking as someone who does NOT cut hair it's ridiculous how fast they have to churn customers in and out. Standing literally all day, only time to sit = 30 minute break. Shitty pay not only for me (no experience) but for the stylists who have been working for great clips for years and make 50 cents more than I do.
