Pros

Great co workers, free blowouts for yourself, half off products and gift certificates (there's a limit though) great for recent beauty school grads, you can hand out your business cards

Cons

OUCH. After doing back to back blow dries hours all day, or begins to take a toll on your body, especially your back and wrist. To quote one of the "educators" after l mentioned I have been hearing other hairdressers were experiencing pain and how to prevent or treat the situation, she said: "I guess you can go to the chiropractor or something I don't know...we've never heard anything about that so..." YEAH RIGHT. Basically you get paid minimum wage to deliver a service a person down the street at a full service salon gets commission for AND tip. And don't even get me started on the "chores" you must complete before you clock out. the only reason I stay is for the free blowouts.

The Worst Work Expierence EVER

Pros

Your fellow stylists are really awsome

Cons

-Literally work you like a horse, they do not care what so ever if you take a break, even if you are working a 12 hour shift!!! Im pretty sure thats illegal by the way. -They always have more books open then stylist, if only 3 stylists are working they will add 5 more ghost stylists, so basically no matter what the salon is running behind, which means if your fast you have the pleasure of dealing with all the clients who have been waiting for over an hour! sounds great right? -The shop educator does nothing but put down the team and tell you what a bad job your doing (even if you've been with the company for months) never a good job, or that looks great. its always can you go faster, your taking too long. -the manager is not even professional, i mean who brings in their kids to work? i didnt even know you could do that!!!! -oh and how can i forget no raises lol -they basically will promote anyone into a trainer or manager because NO ONE wants to take they position who has been there long to see the madness. so all the managers have been with the company for a total of five minutes. -constant turn over too overall this company is just a money hungry pit who abuses there stylists to make money. the pay is extremely low for the work you do and they have no concern if your back hurts, your sick or even throwing up they will make you work non stop.
