Pros

Great co-workers, fun and interesting clients. Great source of tips. Up beat , friendly. The routine work in operating our salon is quite easy. We simply keep the bathroom clean, the towels washed, dried, folded and put away, retail shelves clean and stocked, floors cleaned and customers served.

Cons

Work schedule changes every week by design to "keep stylist flexible ". Work schedule comes out often 1 day before it begins. Requesting a specific day off requires 2 weeks notice from the stylist in writing. Great Clips refers to this as "flexible schedule ". If contested we are routinely reminded that being flexible was stated in our application.

We are sorry to see your frustrations with scheduling. Since each salon is independently owned and operated, the best person to address your concerns would be the franchisee. If you would like follow up, please email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location & details. We will forward it to the franchisee for you. Thank you.
