We appreciate you bringing your experience to our attention. Your feedback is important, and we will take it into consideration as our franchised locations continue to strive for improvement.
Flexible schedules, 401k, health, & dental benefits, bonuses (based on salon performance, base wage with poetional to hit commission on service & product sales, fun friendly & welcoming environment for employees/customers, continuing education for growth in the industry, professional career growth with Great Clips (depending upon your franchise)
Cons
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.
