Pros

It is a great place to start out. If your owner is good you'll have a good experience.

Cons

The actual company is way too robotic with the script they want the stylist to have.

Thank you for your input and time at Sport Clips! We do have processes at Sport Clips to set you up for success and to ensure a consistent experience for our clients. The brand as a whole does not expect team members to use a script. There is a process that we follow, but our expectation is that you execute the points, and the rest is up to you. The verbiage and personality of each team member is so important! We provide each team member with business cards so they can build their business behind the chair and capture requests. As the Franchisor, we provide best practices, and support to our franchisees. It is up the store owner (franchisee) to operate their store and hire/manage their team members. I highly recommend you take a moment to discuss this matter with your store owner. I think there has been a miscommunication. You might ask if the script is an absolute or if it is a guide to use until you get comfortable and able to make it your own. Thank you for being a store manager! It is hard work, but also rewarding. Please keep your store owner and Coaches close. Let them know how they can support and encourage you!

Pros

Gaining new education on trending haircuts, the team members I work with, classes when needed to sharpen my skills, company provided tools and techniques as well as comfort in the salon.

Cons

Benefits for medical/dental, speed and timing matters, some clients are crappy, not always someone to show you what you should do in situations.

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.
