Poor management, and worse pay

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

My coworkers were beyond amazing, we all recognize that the store is a sinking ship that we’re all in together. I’ve met so many kind and amazing people here it’s just unfortunate this is not a good long term option as a hair stylist

Cons

You get paid hourly, which suck for a performance based job. At my salon I was paid less than minimum wage because “we get tips” which is actually awful, we should at least be minimum wage. Lots of favoritism and very very poor management, you’re promised everything you want at an interview to only find out it’s nothing what they said. You’re not allowed to have a consistent schedule, you’re not allowed to have a clientele, you’re not guaranteed any form of hours and if you do anything to upset management it is reflected in your hours. I was promise 40 hours a week and I’m struggling to get 20. No one ever takes time to explain any rules and you are expected to know everything when you start about the rules which is actually impossible. You’re consistently micromanaged and nitpicked whenever they make up rules on the spot every week! This place is impossible to be at for more than a month, I hate it so much. Oh the icing on top is that there is no benefits available for stylists!

Pros

Working with the public and cleaning on slow days

Cons

The owners didn't agree with a pay raise when they raised the cost of services. Tips went down as a result of that. Managers made the same as their employees.
