Pros

Great place to start building skills especially if you are right out of beauty school. Good training program. No clients needed.

Cons

Must work fast. Eat before shift, may work long hours without a break. Not enough time with clients. To increase pay you have to cut n retail effectively in 15 min or less

Salon Manager and stylist

Pros

Instant clientele. Hourly pay plus commission and product bonus. Tips range from $25-$100 a day. Paid holidays and vacation for full time employees. 401k plan for full time employees. Great salon environment and team atmosphere. Some paid training but would like a little more diversity. You get to meet all types of people from all walks of life.

Cons

Schedules can make work life balance hard because it requires nights and weekends and most holidays we are open but we do get paid well for working them. Holidays should be paid off days. There needs to be more diversity in the ongoing training as far as cutting techniques go. Balancing floor and admin time can be a challenge in a busy salon when floor hours are needed it can be difficult to complete managerial duties. Micro managing can also make doing some things harder as you have to wait for approval on most things.

Pros

They treat u fair and are flexible with your schedule. When u work in a busy salon u can make really good money. My organization has amazing incentives such as quarterly team bonuses, and a great product sales bonus.

Cons

Dealing with numerous personalities in the salon can sometimes be overbearing.
