Pros

Nice clients, nice salon, nice area of salon location, busy salon, very clean salon due to the hairdressers doing a good job.

Cons

Sport Clips is a 'sweat shop' for hairdressers. When you do 2 hair cuts an hour at $15.00 each that's $30.00. I made $9.25 an hour. Sport Clips made $20.00+. All hairdressers were clocked out at closing time. The people that show up before before closing got their haircuts done when I was off the clock so I did these hair cuts for free. Then the salon is cleaned and I did this for free too. When I showed my husband the out line for how I was paid. He said that it should not be so confusing to understand. My husband is highly educated and has an IQ of 160. Sport Clips brain washes it's stylists to think that if they are off the clock and still working that it's to their advantage to have less hours of being paid for your work. You make 10% of retail sales.....but only after you have sold $75.00. This is a GREEDY company to work for.

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and creating an uncomfortable experience for the stylist and client, making it feel like a sales job, it’s such an outdated way to operate, to hit numbers for the commission you’d have to sell like a car seller and do 10-15 minute haircuts for hours on end.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