The most recent location I worked at was miserable most days. Team members walked out right and left. They would leave their key and disappear. This left the remaining stylists with long hours that the franchise owner demanded us to cover. I am older but strong and capable. It almost broke my back to do a 7 hour shift and work as fast as I could, sometimes with a 15 minute break. I am a creative person and hair designer who needed a ready made client base so I put up with it as long as I could. Customers are often rude or noncommunicative, sometime with no tips. During 6.99 sales, you work like a dog and feel like one too. Start your hair industry career somewhere else.
