Pros

The money was pretty good

Cons

Job Review Working here has been an extremely negative experience due to the unprofessional and toxic behavior of the manager. She exhibits a clear lack of professionalism and has created a hostile work environment. Notably, she once used a highly offensive slur to refer to an autistic employee, demonstrating a complete lack of respect and understanding. The manager frequently violates labor laws, including making last-minute schedule changes and placing employees on call without compensation. She berates employees in front of others, fostering an atmosphere of humiliation and stress. Additionally, she gossips openly with customers about staff members, further eroding trust and morale. Overall, the management style is toxic and unprofessional, making this workplace highly unpleasant and unsuitable for anyone seeking a respectful and supportive environment. Proceed with caution.

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and creating an uncomfortable experience for the stylist and client, making it feel like a sales job, it’s such an outdated way to operate, to hit numbers for the commission you’d have to sell like a car seller and do 10-15 minute haircuts for hours on end.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