Pros

The money was decent, tips were good, customers overall nice. Great place to really fine tweak your skills and speed.

Cons

Upper management and the Frantise owners were awful. They work you until you are so burnt out you never want to cut hair again. I worked open to close ALONE for over a weak because they can't keep staff. I was promised everything and then ignored until I had to just walk away.

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.
