Pros

Pros are a nice salon, great GMs and all the vacation time and benefits. Flexible schedules and plenty of customers makes time fly!

Cons

Managers do the most work.....period. instead of making bonus money the way we get most of our manager pay, pay us more hourly, plus a bonus if it is earned. It's hard to keep doing all the work for what a stylist makes. We keep the salons running smoothly. You get what you pay for!

Because each salon is independently owned and operated, the best person to address your comments would be your franchisee. If you would like, please email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you are employed and details. We will provide it to the franchisee for follow up with you. If you prefer to be anonymous, please let us know and we will forward it anonymously for you. Thank you.
