Business Outlook

Pros

Good tips, friendly staff, freindly customers, co-workers did'nt call in too much and lots of walk-in clients.

Cons

Timed haircuts 13-17 min average, it is hard to do great haircuts in a timed salon. Low pay in paycheck for hours worked. Products shelves not always stocked, hard to sell products. Some of the employees wer'nt as much team players checking clients in. Hard to get breaks and lunch in when salon was busy.

Pros

The people I worked with were great. Other than that I have to say it was the worst company I have ever worked for.

Cons

Bad management, overworked, little pay. Owners treated us like work horses. We Weren't allowed breaks, some of the other employees would almost pass out due to not being allowed to take a lunch.

Pros

Nice clientelle, easy to build up your clientelle!

Cons

Management would constantly schedule me when I had asked for time off. My schedule was supposed to be a set schedule, not changing, however, even though I was promised this when I was hired, they continued to schedule me on the days I was supposed to have off. Many people are very unprofessional that work there, swearing, jacking up haircuts, creating drama over the stupidest things! Just all around unprofessional!
