Pros

15 bucks an hour great sign on bonus

Cons

Asked to be placed in a busy location in one week I have seen 8 clients. Was told this was a brand new location with no history from previous owners or staff. Find out this shop reopened a month prior with a horrible history of bad customer service. Told I had wrong clipper system after 3 weeks a was told I would be removed from schedule until this was rectified. This should have been brought up at the hiring process to ensure the people you hire are using the specific brand clipper you allow.

Thank you for your feedback and time with Sport Clips. I am so sorry to hear about your experience. It does sound like there was a gap in communication. Each store owner does have the ability to set unique expectations for their store. Many stores allow team members to use their clipper of choice. Please update your review with the location you worked at, so I can share this with the appropriate party.

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and creating an uncomfortable experience for the stylist and client, making it feel like a sales job, it’s such an outdated way to operate, to hit numbers for the commission you’d have to sell like a car seller and do 10-15 minute haircuts for hours on end.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