      Pros

      Definitely a good staff makes it easier, easy to find a schedule that works with you

      Cons

      Low base pay, credit card tips are counted as pay so my base pay might be $x p/h, but they'll insist that my tips really pull me up to $xx-$xx per hour. When the complaint of my education and experience not being considered comes into play, the argument and insult of the possibility of being paid a waitress base wage instead, it's frustrating.

      Pros

      You might be lucky enough to make a second family. I love the girls I work with. Being payed hourly is always nice because even when your not working you get paid You will learn and grow especially if you have a good manger or other stylists are usually happy to help

      Cons

      You don’t get paid much and depending on your location my not make very good tips You will never have a set schedule and need to request days off for doctors appointments or anything serious. Understaffing is in almost every great clips and you’re expected to work ridiculous hours and pick up the slack of people that have left There’s a possibility they might try to move you to other salons after bonding with everyone in your home location. You have to take customers right up until it hits 9:00 which has you leaving late sometimes so if you have children this job may not Be the best for you No benefits It is a very fast paced environment, some people can handle it and some can’t.
