Pros

The clients are always coming in. You don’t have to worry about color or other chemicals as you’re only doing haircuts. You get an hourly salary even if you’re not cutting & clients can request you which may lead to better tips and some friendships

Cons

There is nowhere to go; no moving up, advancing, climbing the ladder.. It’s hard on your body. Sometimes you receive really generous tips & sometimes you get nothing. There are days you don’t get a lunch

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.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear it didn’t meet expectations. Because each salon is independently owned and operated, we encourage you to reach out directly to your franchisee, as they’re best positioned to address employment-related concerns.
