The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Life Time (Syosset, NY)
Interview
First off, the salon, facilities were amazing, very clean and beautiful. I met with the hiring manager and from the moment I met her to the moment the interview stopped it felt like a sales pitch the entire time. She didn’t stop talking, it felt very impersonal, she didn’t ask much about my qualifications or experience. Mostly general basic information she asked (availability, schedule). We took a tour of the facilities and than she bought me a shake. I left wanting to feel good and wanted to give it a chance, but deep down knowing this didn’t seem all it was cracked up to be. Reluctantly, I went against my better judgement and went for the second interview which was to demonstrate my skill sets as a stylist, the manager didn’t stay much to observe or ask questions about my work.. she did ask once why I chose the formula I did for the color.. so after I was finishing up my work she had a meeting and made sure to emphasize that I must memorize the companies “mission statement “ for my 3rd and finale interview and she also stated that I need to explain to Bret the CEO “ how I’m gonna bring in business for the company’”… it came off very cultish.. they also want you to market yourself in other departments so your basically a sales person!!
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Life Time (San Antonio, TX) in Apr 2021
Interview
Described the job responsibilities in great detail. The three people that I interviewed with were amazing and made the process effortless. Made it clear that there was room to move up in the company as long as you put in the work.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Life Time (Canton, MI) in Jun 2019
Interview
Overall very laid back. Know the mission statement off the top of your head though. Focus on being detail orientated, safety focused, and providing customer service. They are run like a corporation, there is no going off script as a counselor here.
