Your tips on card payments do not leave the register, so they get taxed. And at least at this location every single customer pays with a card.

I really wouldn’t mind all of that if I was actually getting the great tips the company bragged about which led to me applying.

Stylists are required to pay for the products we are required to use on customers.
Stylists are responsible for any state board fines the store gets (is this legal..?) was told the stylists in the store split the cost if there is ever a fine.
