      Pros

      Depends on the franchisees & location. Some good some horrible. Tips are good, again depending on location.

      Cons

      Minimum wage hourly pay! If you are in a busy store the tips make up for it. "Flexibility" will depend on the franchisee. Some think they own you & it can be difficult if you have a family or a life outside of work. Some managers are lazy & on a power trip, as well as rude, inconsiderate co workers. It's definitely just a job to pay the bills, not a lifetime career because there's no benefits. A lot of rules & regulations and don't expect any positive feedback for a job well done. You will only hear the negative. There's better places to work.

      We are sorry to read about your frustrations. Individual franchisees use a number of different factors to determine total compensation & benefits. If you'd like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you are employed. We will provide your comments to the franchisee for follow up. Thank you.

      Haircutting exclusive so if you enjoy other services in the industry (chemicals, waxing, updo styling) this is not the place Franchised salons, so salons are ran differently.
