Pros

Fast paced, constant clientele, base pay plus bonuses, and tips. Extensive training and ongoing educational opportunities. Great place to work and build haircutting skills.

Cons

If you like color, or creative styling this is not the place for you. If you dont like cutting hair, not the place for you, if your schedule is not flexible and you have trouble committing to schedules, not the place for you.
