Pros

Your doing what you love to do!

Cons

Lossy pay, cheap guest, poor upper management, they only cater to one type of clientele. Even thought they state there versatile. You will never commission because there aren't enough guest that come there. Not sure if it's because it's in Walmart. With the location people think it's low end hair styling. They hire a lot of girls who can't cut.
