Pros

I love the fast paced job, meeting new faces every day and looking forward to clients coming back. We do get paid holidays if your full time. It's a great job and the owners are great people butt...........

Cons

The pay is horrible less then minimum wage even for assistant manager. Supercuts pay minimum and more, and when minimum goes up so didn't they...There are no bonuses except product bonus which never gets met. No insurance plans no 401k plans.....

I’m sorry you were frustrated about your compensation while working at a Great Clips salon. Since each of our salons are independently owned and operated, individual franchisees may use a number of different factors to determine a stylist’s total compensation. If you’d like, you can email me at recruiting@greatclips.com with specific details of where you worked so that I can provide your feedback to the franchisee of the salon. Thank you for your honest feedback.

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.
