Pros
Busy the day goes fast and no clientel required. Easy, walk in and go. Not much bending over the sink.
Cons
Wear and tear on tools and no tool allowance, relying on tips and yet clientel is not aware of this, very high production and assembly line and feeling like a machine making someone else rich. Feels like slave labour. Everything is done by the computer and numbers, not much personal flexibility for scheduling etc. Very hard on the joints and body, lots of tendon problems and joint problems. Often over 20 haircuts in a 7 or 8 hour shift. Paid 9.75 per hour and have to listen to clients talk about what a great deal they are getting but clients dont understand that that is because the stylists get paid so little. Feeling USED and no artistic freedom or expression, very very assembly line.
