Pros

Immediate customers, I worked with nice people, customers were friendly

Cons

Long hours, very low pay, short staffed at my location so I had to work 3 nights from 3 to 9 by myself. That is against GC policy btw:(

Pros

Flexible Schedule, open till 9pm, which is great for getting a reliable babysitter! Guaranteed clientele, you will see the same crusty brats and crotchety old men every 3-4 weeks. Salons are usually in a good location and usually stay pretty busy, so busy that you may not get a break at all. You will also get to work weekends! They are open Saturdays and Sundays so that way instead of being with your family, you get to cut the hair of others enjoying their families.

Cons

Very low pay. Very cheap, dirty, and demanding customers. Corporate greed at it's finest. The franchisee's make way way too much money off you. For the type of clientele that come do not tip well, if even at all. Your co-workers are able to create "re-do" sheets when you are not there, claiming a customer complaint. They use these as tools to either fire you for personal reasons, or put you on "probation" to make you work the worst schedules without complaint.

Pros

Plenty of opportunities for a job.

Cons

Stop hogging up the damn news feed for job seekers looking for hair stylist jobs. We get it- you're always looking for employees. Okay. But most of us in the business are looking for more than being a part of your chop shop. Thanks.
