Pros

I have worked for our organization for 15 years. I started with my franchise as a receptionist and enjoyed the salon environment so much that I decided to go to school to get my cosmetology licensing so I could move forward with the company. They were great at letting me working around my school schedule. Once I became a stylist the company helped train me to develop my skills both in the salon and in advanced training workshops. I was quickly promoted to assistant manager. I was able to work with a manager and GM who really helped me develop my skills as a leader and was then promoted to salon manager. I love working for Great Clips! They offer competitive wages, lots of bonuses and commissions, paid time off, health insurance, retirement plan, and a ready made clientele. They do the marketing so all you have to do is come to work and service the clients. Our salon has a fast paced, fun and positive environment. I am proud to work for such a great company.

Cons

We don't do chemical services but I don't miss it one bit.

We are sorry to see your frustrations with the management at your salon. Since each location is independently owned and operated, your concerns would be best addressed by your former franchisee. If you would like follow up, please email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the location where you were employed. We will then forward it to the franchisee to contact you. Thank you for your feedback.
