Pros

I would not recommend working here. This is a sweat shop that only cares about quantity not quality

Cons

Awful management, no room for growth. No raises. Awful pay

We are sorry about your frustrations with your manager. Each salon is independently owned and operated by a franchisee who would be the best person to address your concerns. If you would like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the location where you were employed. We will provide your feedback to the franchisee for you. Thank you for your comments.
