Pros

Fun and interesting atmosphere. I have built up quite a following who I enjoy.

Cons

they lie, they set up certain commission structures that are impossible to hit. was in management but because I didn’t work a certain amount of hours per week because it’s literally impossible to be scheduled that many hours I was demoted. The upper management like the area managers are inexperienced and don’t care about the stylists. They like to only tell you everything you’re doing wrong with no positive reinforcement. I just say keep looking unless you’re desperate. they like to highlight being an assistant manager as if it’s a privilege but you only get $.50 more an hour for a a lot more work. The team I currently work for I do not care for. We were bought out just after Covid when we were able to return to work. is he like to play it’s all fun and games make it exciting but in reality it’s not. Only thing I can also say is if you build up a clientele that’s why you’re going to make money when they tip you well. Commission structure is Set up for you to hardly ever hit it.

Thank you for your feedback! I am sorry to hear that you are not having a good experience. Each location has a unique commission structure. Have you discussed your concerns with your store owner? I know they will want the opportunity to address them. I will share this with the appropriate party and wish you the best!

Pros

The only good thing about this company is that the men tip good. The pay isn't bad if you work allot of hours.

Cons

You have to attend a week long class before even starting on how to cut men's hair(even if you already know how to) they don't pay for transportation. You have to buy all your own shirts a different shirt for everyday and the shirts aren't cheap. You have to sell a ridiculous amount of product. If you don't sell enough they will constantly threaten to fire you and cut your hours. They will also make you come in for a class before or after your shift Everytime you don't sell enough so you can learn how to be more pursuading and pushy about selling hair products. Most of these women that have worked here a long time are extremely petty and agressive their whole life is sports clips and full of sports clips drama. So pathetic. They talk about it outside of work it's like they eat,sleep, and breathe sports clips, it's hard to get away from the company once your in. It's like a cult they don't want you to leave. They will do anything so you don't leave switch your store etc.etc. it's almost impossible to get permanently fired from this company. It's a extremely demanding job, it will literally suck the life out of you, you never get weekends off. There are no set hours and they work you so much you can't have a life. If your not selling enough products that is. If you don't sell you won't be able to to live. They will cut your hours if you don't sell enough products. They want you to keep the conversation around sports and hair products. You have to be extremely pushy to get people to buy them. The products are expensive and hard to sell sometimes. They put guys on the spot and make them feel guilty or belittle them if they really can't afford the product. I felt sorry for so many men when because of how mean and minulaptive these women were to them. They only care about selling hair products not about the customer or his/her feelings. I would never work back there again, I swear I still think about it sometimes I compare it to leaving a abusive relationship because that's what it feels like when you leave. They put a extreme guilt trip on you, they will blame you for everything ! Say you were the problem and your not good enough to work for them because you just can't keep up with the other girls that are pushing hair products, yet they will on the other hand try to talk you into switching to another slower store. Crazy people don't do it ! Plus if you can't cut men's hair that well they will constantly trash talk you.
