Pros

50% off over priced mediocre products. I am only writing more in the pros section to take up the 20 word minimum here.

Cons

Terrible Everything. The whole operation is a bust and the outlook for this company is questionable. Management is the worst, (no manager training is apparent here for almost everyone in a management position) my manager was extremely condescending while almost always walking into the shop late, and most likely hungover on the weekends, of course. They will work you like a dog for little to no pay and you will max out making around 27k a year if you are lucky. They give you NO breaks and the only thing keeping the Better Business Bureau off their backs is the lunch they provide on Saturday, otherwise this place runs like an ILLEGAL sweat shop. There is a rule in the stylist handbook saying you can’t leave your client unattended for any reason.. stylist who have had to use the bathroom have had accidents on themselves trying to obey this rule! One girl who did leave her client to use the bathroom was berated...Management does not care how overbooked you are or anything going on in your personal life, you are expected to be back to back taking clients promptly NO MATTER what. If you have a godforsaken “request” coming for you in 20 minutes and someone gives you a ticket anyways, you better figure it out because they don’t care. I saw random “requests” i didn’t know constantly on my books for the end of every shift i worked, while my coworkers got to leave early ..this was their attempt to make me quit I’m assuming, since i was one of the highest paid stylist. If you are making good money and costing them too much on payroll, they will stalk you until you mess up and eventually write you up for tiny things and let those write ups collect then wrongfully fire you( it’s what they did to a co worker they wanted to get rid of) They want to get you for all your worth here and you will not be treated as a human being. The worst place I’ve ever worked.. toxic is brought to a new meaning working here. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time, find something else.

Pros

Good experience to be in the beauty industry if you don't do hair, Good way to network with the community as well

Cons

A little disorganized at time, I think the corporate policies were also a little too script sometimes whnen it came to the way clients had to be charged
