      Pros

      Teaches you mens cuts where cosmetology school doesn’t. Focuses on time more than anything, so you will get fast. The company as a whole is amazing, the location you end up at/ manager you end up with really determines everything.

      Cons

      My first location was amazing, I only left due to location. The second location which I’m reviewing was very cult like. If you were someone with zero opinion and no life, you’d be moved up, any opinion of your own and you’re not going to fit in. There was so much workplace drama literally everyone in there was depressed/ anxious.

      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.

      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.

      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.
