      We are sorry to see your frustrations while working in the salon. Because each location is independently owned and operated, the franchisee would be the best person to address your concerns. If you would like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you were employed and details. We will forward it to the franchisee for you. Thank you.

      Great for haircutting

      Pros

      This is a select service business. Hair cutting is the main focus. I don't mind that since perms are stinky and colors can be stressful. Clients are provided and it is a team atmosphere. It is a franchised business, so each franchisee does things differently. The main focus is quality haircuts at a great price in a timely manner. Training is provided with continuing education as well. Schedules can be flexible if needed.

      Cons

      Low base pay, but if you work efficiently you can increase your base rate. Shops are open 7 days a week with evenings being as late as 9 pm during the week. Which unfortunately can effect your pay if the location isn't busy during that last hour. There can be a high turnover of employees. The work is constant and this can drive some stylists away. Being timed on services provided and time taken in between clients can drive employees away as well.

      It's GREAT: You really CAN have it all!

      Pros

      Great Clips is in a unique position to foster a cooperative (rather than competitive) environment that celebrates everyone's successes. It is an environment where people can have flexible schedules and still make a great income with incredible benefits. The organization truly tries to foster career growth and individual creativity. It is an all-around win-win.

      Cons

      Great Clips has created a culture of setting high-expectations and using various tools to measure and develop people to reach those expectations. While this one of the organization's strengths, it does scare some people and certainly means everyone is expected to strive to be their best.
