      Pros

      Great place to work if you want minimal raises, awful managers and franchise owners, and a hostile working environment. Discrimination and favoritism daily. Will work you 39.5 hours so that you are not eligible for benefits. If they don’t like you will cut your hours to 2 shifts a week so that you quit and they don’t have to pay unemployment. “Base” pay is a joke and is not dependent on experience but how much your manager likes you.

      Cons

      Constant fine motor movement will destroy rotator cuff, neck, and hands. Carpal Tunnel is a given and you won’t get company benefits. The $6.99 Haircut Sale is awful. The only thing “good” about this job is the cash tips.

      We are sorry you had these experiences. Since each location is locally owned and operated, your concerns would be best addressed by the franchisee who employed you. If you'd like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you were employed. We can then provide your feedback to the franchisee of the salon. Thank you.

      Great co-workers, good tips, generally busy, clientele overall friendly, management is super cool and will try to be as flexible as possible with your schedule.

      Working evenings and weekends, but that is salon life.
