Team really does care about people. Is a truly innovative concept with only competition being traditional salons New HCB leadership is really making a difference in the field, team changes being made are positive and encouraging as someone who's been here awhile Product is very, very strong - not just hair color but also hair care for colored hair They invest in leaders

Cons

Fast paced, things can change and you have to be resilient and not get hung up on them Growing company means sometimes process needs to be improved Nothing else

Pros

Coworkers were very kind and helpful. Made some great bonds there and learned a lot about color theory.

Cons

Refuses to let you post your cosmetology license in public view (illegal). They struggled to even locate mine when I quit. Middle and upper management was awful. Reported someone to hr and was told to “try and see it from their perspective”. Had time off approved one day and randomly unapproved the next. Wanted 4 weeks notice on time off but wouldn’t approve it till sometimes the day before. Not to mention an all over lack of communication. It seemed like a great place to start as a new stylist but random schedule changes inability to schedule your self any time off and just rude management will burn you out in months.
