Pros

They really have a great mission statement. You really want to be apart of changing the industry in a positive way.

Cons

The pay sucks. Think… hair factory. Every 30 minutes a new client. Over and over and over again. A lot of people don’t understand it’s “express” and get upset they move along like a “factory line” Sometimes the clients are verbally abusive to the staff, they know if they complain they will get the service for free and a free service the next time for no reason at all other than desperation to retain clients. The amount of free the company gives away, they will be broke in no time.
