Pros

This is a great place for brand new hairstylists to start out. Built in clientele due to location.

Cons

Pay was low but a great opportunity for tips. The salon was open everyday and it makes it hard to have a weekend day off.

• Poor management and retaliation for raising concerns • Unauthorized schedule changes with no notice • Unfair NCE pressure and write-ups despite strong sales performance • Micromanagement from 400+ miles away with no understanding of local conditions • High turnover due to bad communication and bullying
