Pros

Ive worked at a lot of different locations with different franchises. The determining factor between a good workplace and bad one is leadership. It's a great way to cut your teeth as a stylist fresh out of school, especially when facing clientele that may be unhappy, but not the best long term option unless you are driven to move up in the franchise. Even that will be trying, though

Cons

Pay, haircut sales are also very hard on your body.

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.
