      Pros

      Great clientele already built in for you. Very high traffic salon structured more like a barber shop, great tips especially during the holiday season

      Cons

      over-worked and underpaid, no set schedules...ever, this is against company policy so that every customer is a great clips customer rather than each stylist's customer ( they want clients to feel comfy with anyone not just you, so that in the event you leave the client won't follow you) if you have a family, especially small kids, do not do it!!! your schedule will be all over the place! if you're fresh out of school or between jobs this is a nice stepping stone, but it is not advised as a career move.

      We are sorry to read about your experience. Franchisees and managers work hard to staff the salon for the busiest times while balancing work and life schedules. We appreciate your candid comments and feedback.

      Pros

      Flexible schedules, 401k, health, & dental benefits, bonuses (based on salon performance, base wage with poetional to hit commission on service & product sales, fun friendly & welcoming environment for employees/customers, continuing education for growth in the industry, professional career growth with Great Clips (depending upon your franchise)

      Cons

      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.

      Advanced education by Great clips inc is some of the best in the industry.

      Work-life balance. Heavy focus on weekends and holidays make it difficult to spend time with family and friends.
