Pros

Wear athletic apparel, sneakers. TV's, all using the same clippers so guards are provided, combs provided too. $10/hr per hour plus tips.

Cons

Branding is one thing, but this company aspires to be cookie-cutter. Scripted dialogue and procedures that MUST be said AND done in a specific order. Company performs "success checks" where they monitor you to see if you are performing up to code (unnecessary to babysit an adult). Company controls even what color camisole (tank top) you wear under uniform, no freedom to decorate your station. VERY HARD pushing to sell products, almost constant harassment to upsell...... Praise and recognition goes ONLY to those who bring in top dollar, everyone else is chopped liver. Strict 14min per haircut, they keep track of your service times too.

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more and creating an uncomfortable experience for the stylist and client, making it feel like a sales job, it’s such an outdated way to operate, to hit numbers for the commission you’d have to sell like a car seller and do 10-15 minute haircuts for hours on end.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.
