Pros

If you work at a busy location you will make a decent wage due to tips.

Cons

I have worked at the same location for a year and 3 months and the prices have increased three times. Say a haircut is $14 typically a client will round that up to $20 and tip you $6. With each price increase, the owner makes more money but you make less in tips. Taking this into consideration I have now taken three pay cuts since starting there.

Thank you for everything you do in the salon on a daily basis. Since each salon is independently owned and operated, your franchisee would be the best person to address your concerns. Please contact them directly regarding any issues with employment.
