Pros

I love my clients and what I do. I work with amazing girls!! And I'm continually learning!! Money is good on busy days. And seeing my clients happy is the best feeling ever!!

Cons

Not paid enough to do what's expected of us. I wanna do hair!! Not sell products all day!! And I'm not a manager so why am I doing paper work and trying to make a schedule work because others don't show up or wanna work.
