Pros

Great to build clientele and learn the trade while on the floor. Trial and error.

Cons

Hired As full time, don't get full time hours.lack integrity with the rehired. Little honesty in the salon., stylist take items from other, and don't return items or even own up to taking. Management inconsistent. Pay/commission is below poverty level. Customers are treated poorly. Stylist most of the time is working alone in salon doing hair, retail, and phone receptionist!
