Pros

Salon is self and location staff was excellent and very supportive. Then bent over backwards to help me pull myself out of homelessness and overlooked my tardiness as it was very difficult to get to work let alone get ready for work. when you slept in a park the night before.

Cons

As I was just pulling myself out of homelessness and the same day was given a tool to make working longer shifts possible. Corp. came in and fired me for being late while my GM was out due to a sudden family loss. also we were presented with the oppertunity to make more per hour based upon our productivity and sales. Very easy for me to do seeing as I'm not afraid of work and I'm great at achieving goals in the work place. If you do you meat this goal for every day scheduled for the entire two week pay period, you lose your extra $3 per hour. Random rainy Mondays in a state like Michigan make this impossible and unfair.

Because each salon is independently owned and operated, your franchisee would be the best person to address your concerns. Please contact them directly regarding any issues with employment.

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.
