Pros

Don't bother unless you're straight out of school and need the practice.

Cons

Absolutely, and I cannot stress this enough, TERRIBLE management, minimum wage, no employee or client support. It's all a numbers game with no soul.

Pros

Each salon is independently owned (Franchise), so you would need to look into the franchise owner and everything they have to offer. The salons (83) in my area are owned by the same franchisee, so we have a great and consistent work culture. I myself have been employed with Great Clips for for over five years. You do EVERY haircut imaginable. You learn so much because there are so many haircuts. We also have an education team; who assists when necessary. Best for experience and you make money, hourly and tips, because it’s nonstop. Unlike most salons, we have a wide range of benefits (Medical, Vision, Dental, Life Insurance, Short-Term disability, Employee Assistance Program, FINFIT, PTO, Flexible Hours, Paid Holidays, Payroll Deduction, Sketcher shoe discount.) Finally, the clients can be absolutely incredible, kind, and it’s fun to talk to them about random stuff. Also, the kids are hilarious and cute.

Cons

I hate it because people assume Great Clips has terrible stylist. However, that is not true and they have resources to assist, where other salons do not.
