Pros

There are no pros to working here. Please see below

Cons

Where to begin, you don't get days off & you're like a slave to them. No breaks or lunch also. Making $8 an hour isn't worth it, much better off if you get a job at a regular spa or salon. Funny that all the "positive" reviews on here are from management or EWC not actual slaves who have worked there. There's a reason people are always quitting. My location had only been open a month & already had 6 people quit! DON'T DO IT, unless you want funny book material in the future from the crazy stories you'll have.

Pros

Great coworkers, supportive team environment, loyal clients, and valuable opportunities to develop professional skills.

Cons

I’d like to raise some concerns about communication and fairness. We are asked to communicate everything, yet often our messages go unanswered or are met with a negative attitude. There is also a sense of favoritism in time-off approvals. Last-minute scheduling changes have disrupted my plans due to lack of notice. I’ve been incorrectly scheduled due to miscommunication, and I’ve had intense shifts without reasonable breaks. Additionally, our manager consistently arrives later than anyone, often when clients are waiting to pay, yet she gives attitude to others for minor delays. On top of that, product management is often last-minute. We run out of supplies like products, creams, or paper, and it only gets addressed when urgent, forcing us to scramble between rooms. I’m bringing these concerns forward because I hope for a more consistent, supportive, and equitable work environment for all of us.
