Pros

The people who work there are nice. It's a good gig if you're a high school student looking for additional income.

Cons

You will never get a pay raise no matter how long or hard you work there. They don't treat the stylists good AT. ALL. (at least when I worked there). Even though they were full-time employees, they were never scheduled full-time so the owners didn't have to give them their benefits. Super scummy business in general and would never suggest anyone other than a student to work there.
