      Pros

      Consistent* customer base right away

      Cons

      If you’re full time fully flexible, that means you get to listen to everyone else complain about making less money, even though you’re the only one there when it’s busy, or for opening to closing, or on weekends. You make money because you live there and cover for everyone else. Your time isn’t respected if you have a life outside of work. And to top it off the customers don’t like to treat you like a human even if you do a great job.

      Pros

      Internal promotions, commission on product sales

      Cons

      Felt like flipping burgers. Hyper critical, passive aggressive management. Shifts were assumed to begin/end "around 15 minutes" before and after scheduled shift, although every manager had a different answer for when to arrive. Also the schedule frequently changed after posting and you were responsible for just Knowing these changes automatically. Didn't mop ever, which is super gross. One manager told me I shouldn't clean my counter or chair between clients, which is literally illegal. Working here wore down my self esteem and made me reconsider being a hairstylist. Save yourself the trouble and work somewhere that isn't set up to milk you till you drop.

      Pros

      Meet nice people and make contacts

      Cons

      No allowed to be creative and artistic if it going to take you more then 10 min . If you take longer then 17 min to greet the client, have a consultation, cut and check them out and rebook them dont expect to last long. If your lucky you can make $10 per hr
