Pros

Well in Wilmington, Nc we had good reasons to reach our goals, they gave us bonuses! they gave us cute aprons with our years of service and our names on it once you got your mile stone, so that gave me a reason to stay oh and plus a longevity check. And they trained me 100 percent to give quality haircuts. And if I was behind in something theyd have classes to help you work on things you feel behind in. Product sales, flat tops, anything.

Cons

Well not all franchisees are the same. Same company standard but some great clips owners just are about the bottom dollar and not the employees or customers. So where as some will go all out to train they're employees to do the best job. The slum owners will just throw you to the wolves you'll either make it or not.

Haircutting exclusive so if you enjoy other services in the industry (chemicals, waxing, updo styling) this is not the place Franchised salons, so salons are ran differently.
