Pros

-Tips can be good, especially around the holidays. -I work with some truly amazing and supportive people who make the job enjoyable.

Cons

-Ever since Ali Webb sold the company, the quality of management and operations has gone downhill. -Despite being hired as a full-time stylist for 40 hours a week, hours have been severely cut, and I’m now lucky to get 30 hours. -There’s no front desk staff, so we’re expected to check clients in and out, sell products, and still perform our styling duties. -The franchise owner has not provided adequate product stock or back bar items, leaving us unable to meet sales goals or client expectations. -Unfortunately, they are so cheap they avoid paying overtime, and what’s worse, they force us to take lunch breaks even when we work less than 5–6 hours a day, which feels like an illegal way to save on labor costs. -The company doesn’t offer health insurance, which is especially disappointing for a role with inconsistent hours.

Pros

can be a fun community

Cons

managers were always on vacation, meanwhile 95% of the time I would request a day off I'd get denied because "too many stylists were off already off" making it impossible to take any time off. (Of course no one wants to cover your shifts...) managers making it so you're unable to change your schedule, the low pay, the constant pain you're in from doing blowouts all day. they treat you as a slave. if you say no they don't care. I got in a car accident and tried to call out and was told to I had come in. Insane.
