      Pros

      The clients were very pleasant.

      Cons

      The manager was harassing me and telling to sweep up hair faster in between clients! This created a very stressful and toxic environment. I I have medical issues and she refused to let me take a ten minute break to eat or use bathroom. Don’t waste time working for this sad establishment! I was treated like an animal. Once I told her of my health issues she fired me the next day! It was like working in a swear shop/ concentration camp! The manager was concerned with wait times so she can get her bonus while others are burned out . Salon is completely understaffed!!!!! We are human beings not robots!!!!!! Work shouldn’t be an endurance test. After doing 5 haircuts every one deserves a break. Work isn’t supposed to be a survivor challenge! Total toxic work place that doesn’t care about individuals even if you have medical issues and are over 50. Don’t lose your health or dignity by being manipulated to work faster. There was nothing great about that place!

      Low pay, low tips…not worth running back and forth like a chicken

      Pros

      You get to work with seniors and the disabled community.

      Cons

      You have to be a certain someone to advance beyond store manager. Very low pay, poor management (owners-rich folks with no clue, GMs-sit around & eat all day, salon managers LOL). No benefits, they will hire anyone with fingers- so you are bound to work with an addict eventually, almost nonexistent breaks… the list goes on. Owners literally give you reward pizza when they hit a big $$$ goal. hahaha Wait, did I say low pay? It’s ridiculous.
