      Pros

      Yes, with tips, the money can be good. I have had to resort to this work a couple of times due to recession in 2009 and Covid in 2020. With the right manager and franchise owner, it can be tolerable ... even at times kind of fun.

      Cons

      The most recent location I worked at was miserable most days. Team members walked out right and left. They would leave their key and disappear. This left the remaining stylists with long hours that the franchise owner demanded us to cover. I am older but strong and capable. It almost broke my back to do a 7 hour shift and work as fast as I could, sometimes with a 15 minute break. I am a creative person and hair designer who needed a ready made client base so I put up with it as long as I could. Customers are often rude or noncommunicative, sometime with no tips. During 6.99 sales, you work like a dog and feel like one too. Start your hair industry career somewhere else.

      Pros

      Good tips and constant walk in customers.

      Cons

      They put you at risk by allowing you to work alone, have made us work with a restroom for days. Underpaid and under appreciative of what stylist do. Always get called in on days off. Expect managers to be available 24/7 even on vacations. Don’t care when employees bring up issues in the salon. They will work you till you hate to do hair.

      Pros

      Some of the clients were good people.

      Cons

      Everything. They are slave drivers. I left the industry because of the Horrible Manager and greedy owners. Micromanaged, overworked and underpaid with zero benefits and no future. Horrible experience.
