      Pros

      It's great for newly licensed cosmetologists You still get a base pay so if it's a slow day you're still getting paid by the hour. Continuing education Selling products raises your pay each week (you have to sell A LOT) I loved the 2nd manager And I loved the owner of the store

      Cons

      Base pay is low You have to cut a ridiculous amount of clients daily to raise your pay, but if the next day is slow everything you did the day before goes away. High turnover with stylists My first manager was HORRIBLE It's mainly girls so theirs a lot of cattiness and unnecessary drama The salon makes a lot of money but the stylists base pay is barely above minimum wage.

      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.
