Pros

Flexible hours, balance personal and work, loyal customers, our owner offers great bonus compensation plan, competitive pricing, great place for new stylists to start because the training program is very helpful for them, team work, overall a friendly, clean, and nice place to be for a haircut

Cons

The only con I have is that I live a half hour away, but I wouldn't want to leave my customers that I have built up just for a few dollars savings in gas.
