Pros

Only pro I can say is its guarantee pay. There pay wage for someone who paid a pretty penny for hair education is insulting.

Cons

This company full time will own you. They will work you 10 to 16 day straights regarding the fact you have kids. . . A life! They expect you to give and understand when they are in need but don't care AT ALL when it comes to the employee -- just another number! If you want to grow with a company this is not that company. Your looking to make some quick cash and stay busy this would be a great job for you but Don't expect them to care! It's all about the numbers! They will give you a break IF THEY HAVE TIME. If you cant perform a 11 to 15min haircut 20 to 28 times a day , 10 to 16 days in row . . .if not your always replaceable. And they will remind you daily of that!

Haircutting exclusive so if you enjoy other services in the industry (chemicals, waxing, updo styling) this is not the place Franchised salons, so salons are ran differently.
