Pros

They’re are NO PROS about this company at all. Not one good thing I can think of. Nothing nothing nothing

Cons

Grestclips times the stylist on literally everything. Haircuts mandatory have to be between 8-11 mins long. Stylist timed on how long it takes to sweep and take next client. Manager forced to do gorilla marketing for company. No requests aloud. No appointments aloud. This specific owner doesn’t want to pay out commissions to the stylists that worked very hard to earn them. Then terminated employee when asked for what they are owed. Nights and Weekends mandatory Reviews on stylists performance every week

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.
