Pros

Great place to start a career, provides education, tools, back bar, and a built in clientele!! Upper management is wonderful and encourage stylist to shoot for the stars!! I've been with the company 8 years and I love my career!! The pay is decent, you start on a sliding commission scale and I personally make 17$ an hour as a full time stylist. And that doesn't even include tips!!

Cons

There are no real cons, you get out of it what you put into it.. If you wanna sit around and complain about how slow it is, it won't be a good experience. If you wanna get out there and be a success, they give you all the tools you need to do that..

Pros

Great learning experience for someone fresh out of school. Easy to get hired.

Cons

You will be paid minimum wage with very little tips and you will work hard because not many stylist want to work at these.
