Pros

Tons of hours, opportunity to have lots of clients

Cons

Franchise stores - run kind of like McDonalds - each store has the same general outline but the rules from one place to the next aren't the same. Mixed messages can get confusing

Thank you for your feedback. Because each salon is independently owned and operated, the best person to address your comments would be your franchisee. If you would like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you are employed and details. We will provide it to your franchisee for follow up with you. Thank you.

Pros

Can be busy, good to get secure In. Cutting skills. Fast paced

Cons

Franchisee favoritism and inconsistent policies. Low pay for job . Benefits are not available . Hard to make decent money if I cut to slow they take from you if you cut to fast they cap your commission. Leaders who do well and their teams aren't aknowledged enough. Depending on the franchisee is dependent upon your time there. A manager position consumes your life

Since each salon is independently owned and operated, franchisees may use a number of different factors to determine compensation & benefits. If you would like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you were employed. We will forward it to the franchisee for follow up with you regarding your concerns. Thank you.

Pros

I have been a stylist for almost 10 years. I've done it all, including being an educator. I can honestly say working for great clips has been a surprisingly wonderful experience. My current franchise owner as well as my area and general manger are great people with my best interest in mind. I am great full to be a part of this team. I like the concept of a quick affordable haircut with amazing customer service and that's exactly what greatclips provides.

Cons

Staffing is sometimes difficult. So come join our team!!
