Pros

Fast cash, usually pretty busy, full or part time,

Cons

13-18 min haircuts says enough you cant do proper haircut and see how it will lay unless you do finishing work which is an extra $25 and up. The clients that go there go because its cheap. The clients are rude. The management is a joke. The owners only care that they are making money. Getting a raise, vacation, or time off is hard. And moving up inthe company is hard too

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear it didn’t meet expectations. Because each salon is independently owned and operated, we encourage you to reach out directly to your franchisee, as they’re best positioned to address employment-related concerns.
