Great Clips reviews

Lower wages than a drive in burger joint, and average tips of $3 since their price points are lower than a beauty college charges. Fake "promise" of training and benefits. You only get them if you work 40 hours. They will NEVER schedule you for 40. (They'll work you 39.5, though.) They hire people right our of college, then expect them to have clipper cutting expertise, even though school that teach proper hair cutting, don't teach clipper cutting with guards. New employees are left to fend for themselves on day 2. Attitude of management and franchisees is that hairdressers are a dime a dozen, No respect for the profession when 13-17 min haircuts (from time of check in and including consultations) are expected. Everyone is really getting the same haircut. No training at all. I was sent out to cut hair the first day, whether I knew how to do clipper cuts, or not. Embarrassing "redos" with verbal critique in front of the customer and staff.

Schedules in-consistent each week. Inexperienced or non-existent management team, lots of drama. Management makes assumptions without asking employees. This franchise is not respected in the community compared to other franchises. Ten hour shifts in some cases which is hard on the body. 14 - 17 average haircut times if you like that. Better to do 2 haircuts an hour and build a customer base. Not all Great Clips offer productivity or commission pay or benefits to all if its employees. Ask questions before taking a job. If they are not worth giving a notice to when you quit, then they are not worth working for.
