Pros
• Management at Fort Greene • Usually more than part-time hours • Education • Automatic Tips
Cons
• Super Lazy yet always complaining management for Assistants/Front Desk • Old head toxic salon environment- Pretentious stylists yell and berate you all shift and usually are the ones who tip you out the least. • Old heads always gossiping about coworkers, crab bucket mentality not supportive. • Carrol Gardens Clientele are majority wealthy suburban house-wives and their children making it feel monotonous. • Owners/Management live elsewhere in country which is just a reminder that this doesn’t have a local charm although salon locations are in two Brooklyn neighborhoods… it’s a Corporation ran like a corporation you’re just another number to them which is why they have high turnover. • Management is always taking weeks off of work but won’t even allow you to call in sick. • Long 10-12 hour shifts even when salon doesn’t have clients and you barely get a 10-15 minute lunch break because you’re always tasked with some busy work such as cleaning or organizing someone else’s mess. • Got the ick when I watched numerous middle-aged stylists literally jump and skip for joy when they heard management fired a talented single mother stylish they just didn’t get along with.
