Pros

A good place to get A lot of experience right out of school but not long term.

Cons

Poor pay. Stylists max out at 9.50 an hour and health insurance costs more than you make in 2 weeks. Not a company for long term. Employees are treated very poor

Pros

You get a lot of hours and the salon stays very busy. Good tips usually. Paid training.

Cons

Shortage in staff so long hours, up to 30 haircuts in one day. Always looking at your numbers (haircut time, products sales, number of customers serviced, time you take in between customers). Not good benefits, such as health insurance and 401K. Not paid enough for the work that was being done as an Assistant Manager (ordering, making schedules, inventory, cutting, and practically always being on call)
