Pros

Hair cutting salon, no colors, no waxing, depends on salon you may or may not do perms. Your always walking out with tips in your pocket and you can easily build your request clients and productivity to make your paycheck bigger. Theirs always new classes you can sign up, or asking for a senior stylist to teach you new skills.

Cons

Timed haircuts, the business is a fast food hair cutting joint if you can get more people in and out you get a bigger check and better numbers. Sour customers your always going to get sour customers that will insult you or another employee. Sometimes you will have to have people leave the store for being rude to clients, stylist, threatening people ext.

Thank you for your feedback. Since each salon is independently owned and operated, the best person to address your comments would be your franchisee. If you'd like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you are employed & details. We will be happy to forward it to your franchisee for follow up with you. Thanks for everything you do in the salon each day.
