Pros

Can’t think of any

Cons

Long hours, a lot of haircuts, split shifts, picky customers, having to spend an hour on a blowout and only make a $2 tip when there were haircuts you could’ve been doing, you will be guilt tripped if you are sick or don’t want to cover someone’s shift, I was here for 4 years and once I decided to leave no one fought for me...I was great employee. But yet they continue to let drug addicts work there who are high while cutting hair. They let managers who bully employees to continue to work there. They are going to continue to loose the good employees if something doesn’t change. Start showing you care and respect your employees and maybe they will stay. If you are a good worker and actually care ..find somewhere else to work. You will not be appreciated
