Pros

Free services was great, SOME of the stylists were kind and wanted to see you grow. Jeffrey, Micheal, and Jennifer who is no longer there.

Cons

I really, really wanted to like working for Fekkai. I was fresh out of beauty school and I took this head on. I was so honored to work there. Please, be aware that people there will be nice to your face but have a separate agenda. It really is a toxic atmosphere and it's not worth it to be paid $9 an hour as an assistant. The cattiness is unlike anything I have ever experienced. I used to get to Fekkai an hour early for fear if my train was delayed or the elevators in the basement were slow, I'd be written up. You MUST NOT be one single minute late. You will be written up and talked to like you are the most irresponsible employee. I am 28 years old and I have worked in the professional world prior to changing careers and I have never been treated with so much disrespect from an employer in my life. Some of the stylists/colorists assistants micro manage the shampoo assistants and management will take their side and tell you that they are trying to help. They're not. They're trying to make or break you and not in a healthy way. I felt such a great amount of relief when I quit. be aware.
