Pros

Working at Sport Clips is a hit or miss depending on how well the owner understands the cosmetology business. If they are just in it to turn a profit you will be treated like a robot who cuts hair and when you break down, you'll be replaced.

Cons

Hard to hit bonus for store and stylists

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and creating an uncomfortable experience for the stylist and client, making it feel like a sales job, it’s such an outdated way to operate, to hit numbers for the commission you’d have to sell like a car seller and do 10-15 minute haircuts for hours on end.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