Vantaggi
You'll meet the most hardworking stylists, if not, they don't last long. Paid vacation after a year, even though it's not much. Most tools are provided, such as hot irons and blow dryers.
Svantaggi
Stylists are discounted to death. You have to work your butt off to make an alright paycheck. They won't let us have mats. Stylists have to be receptionists also, and clients get very angry that we spend so much time at the front desk or answering the phone. Tips are not as good as they should be, some people don't know to tip or they come in for a "cheap" cut and give very poor tips. People can be very hateful and rude to get things for free. Dress code changes way too much. Not a family oriented place, everyone has to work weekends, only getting off every other sunday, as far as weekend days. You get 2 days off together every other week. That gets very tiring. And everyone has to work some morning shifts and some night shifts, you can't work just morning shifts or just night shifts. If a neighboring salon with the company is not fully staffed, they will send stylists from other salons to fill in. Personally i apply at a place to work at that place not go to another area that i was not hired to. They have us fill out a wig board which is suppose to allow us to hold ourselves accountable for goals and bringing in business. Frankly, it's a joke. After working for the company for many years, it plays havick on the mind and spirit, i hope to move in a new direction shortly.
