Pros

Room for growth! Started as a stylist within 6 months became an assistant a little over a year I was the manager! My clients are amazing! My team is great! My boss is the best! They truly care for me and my team! Tips are greAt! Comfortable attire! The 6 point play (no previous stylist on here seems to like) is a proven system that ensures you success as a stylist! You are. It required to "push" or "sell" anything you are encouraged to educate your clients on how to keeping them looking their best between haircuts which increases your income as a stylist! No matter what salon you work in you should want your clients to purchase take home products because it increases your sales as a stylist! Anyways... The company is amazing! The CEO came to my store! Shook my hand and had a conversation with me! How many people can say that about other companies?

Cons

Hmmmm!!!!! I need a 20 word minimum! I'm not a fan of working Sundays but it's only 5 hours and it goes fast because we are so busy!

Pros

Health Insurance and 401k definitely help. A lot of hairdressers are moms and some of them single moms, so these benefits help a lot! My team leader and area manager are amazing at helping and keeping me feeling good about how I'm doing.

Cons

none, I have to say, if you're willing to work and make something of yourself and want to work for a great company that will recognize that. This is the place to be!

Pros

No pros beside it being a paycheck

Cons

Wasn’t allowed to have colored hair as a stylist, franchise owners in Arizona push their conservative beliefs on employees, didn’t even allow facial piercings, as time goes by and I’m working at an amazing salon and being treated for what I’m worth, being valued and paid an actual living wage, being allowed to express my individuality, being able to finally find somewhere where I’ve been able to blossom in my 8 years of hairdressing, I’m realizing just how awfully sport clips treats their employees, absolute joke of a wage for the productivity, work, and hours they expect, started here fresh out of beauty school and was constantly undermined, a lot of workplace bullying, favoritism, outcasting stylists that didn’t fit the perfect Sportclips “ideal.” Unless you want to be a slave to Sportclips, and constantly told cut faster cut faster sell more sell more and creating an uncomfortable experience for the stylist and client, making it feel like a sales job, it’s such an outdated way to operate, to hit numbers for the commission you’d have to sell like a car seller and do 10-15 minute haircuts for hours on end. don’t work here. Not to mention the average tip clients leave is 5-7 while you get a minimum wage hourly. Just a spit in the face.
