Pros

Great business model. Plenty of opportunities to advance and gain more responsibilities as long as you are willing to put in the time and energy. Clientele provided by company which is great for stylists coming out of school. Great training opportunities are provided for stylists and management team.

Cons

Not necessarily a con...but be aware that there are long hours especially on weekends, during holidays and during promotional sales. Make sure you find the right salon that fits your needs as an individual. While the company has a great structure for their culture, each salon can have it's own personality and management. Remember that you are interviewing them, just as much as you are being interviewed.
