      Pros

      Depending on location, you can be steady or busy all day. You don't need clientele, walk in only. The salon provides combs & products.

      Cons

      Being hired on full time means you can't have a life outside of work. Completely random schedule every week. If someone calls off they will expect you to pick up their shift no questions asked, if you don't they will make you feel guilty. Depending on the area you work in, you have to deal with some pretty gross clients (ones who don't know how to wash behind their ears.) You will be scheduled at other salons and not get any floating wage, sometimes an hour or more from where you live.

      We are sorry that this was your experience. Because each salon is independently owned and operated, the best person to address your concerns would be the franchisee. If you would like, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you were employed and details. We will provide it to the franchisee for follow up with you. Thank you.

      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.
