Pros

The girls I work with, good work schedule this location only I'm sure. Relaxed comfortable uniforms tennis shoes. Store hours at this location are good. Only good if you're right out of school I need to learn how to do haircuts a good place to start but you don't want to stay

Cons

Stylist do not make any money here only managers 9.00 an hour no matter if you're straight out of school or been doing hair for over 20 years everybody gets paid the same. No raises and it's hard to make goals it's even worse if you're a fast stylist you're making the shop over $40 an hour and you're getting paid 9.00. And tips are only good if you're young and good-looking because it's mostly men that you do. And they want you to upsell their shampoo treatment and most men don't want older women shampooing their hair. No individual ality here everybody talks the same to each customer there's no creativity very boring repetitive. Like I said factory. And they don't like to give you more than 30 hours a week so good luck trying to have your own place to live.

Pros

Great hourly pay with tips. Averaged about $38 to $40 an hour. Great starting place. They do offer training. The co-workers were nice at my location. Management does help you with flexible scheduling so if you have children, it works out great.

Cons

Burnout is real. Expected to complete service within an allotted short time. Too many clients come in that want expensive barbershop cuts but want to pay the lowest price (they really shouldn’t even go to sport clips for). Also, way too many clients with long hair wanting full scissor cuts. They won’t turn away clients even if the cuts they ask for are — are not something sport clips does or allows for a lot of time. TV’s get annoying after a while (too loud).
