Pros

20% off discount for employees which is great Flexible work hours work and life balance New Store clean and nice New equipment

Cons

7.25 an hour for salon workers. Salon Receptionist makes at least 8.00 an hour. I currently hold a master cosmetology license. Have been a Stylist for 14 years. Never made such terrible pay. My 2wk check is no more than 200 dollars. I can't pay my bills with this check. Salon manager stresses over you making productivity, if you don't you get a written corrective warning, you told to make at least 11dollars an hour on your productivity, when you make it, you still get a pay of 7.25 an hour. So stupid!!
