Pros

Very modern clean professional , salon. Very nice equipment, chairs, massage chairs, flat screen T.v. Shampoo bowls r new updated kind where stylist stands behind customer, not hunched over the side of them w your breast in their face like old shampoo bowls. Owner HAS to update , refurnish redorcorate salon EVERY 4 years . Great comfortable uniforms ( track suits, polos, gym shoes )

Cons

Too many rules for stylists. Very strict assembly-line style of cutting called 5 pt play. Has about 40 steps to it , per client. Only have 15 minutes Total , for reg. haircut( Varsity) . This is from the second u call clients name , till they fumble to find coupon, ask to go to bathroom,before paying, or talking on their cell, while holding their finger up. 20 minutes allowed for MvP cut ( shampoo, hot towel, cut, chair massage ) again, every second counts. Only get hours if you can cut hair robotically, in 14 min doing MVP !

Pros

Pay, schedule flexibility, growth opportunities, company events, benefits

Cons

The pay is excellent as long as you’re performance is strong and especially if your flexible with your schedule and full time. But if you’re not a good performer or super part time, this might not be the best place for you.

Pros

Flexible schedule and decent pay.

Cons

Team leader claimed to care about his team, but only cared about a few! Team leader cared more about employees, causing problems than the employees doing their job! Team leader got teary-eyed when an employee needed to be let go for being aggressive with another stylist! Team leader refused to pay out vacation time to an employee who quit, stating that it wasn’t policy and had never done before, employee who quit showed proof that it had been done before and team leader still refused to pay out vacation. Very few policy and procedures are followed per Sport Clips handbook, 100% would not recommend working for Sport Clips, especially at this location. Well hourly pay is decent, bonus on any level is nearly impossible, especially as a manager! As a stylist, you have to hit all three metrics to bonus at all, and as a manager, you yourself have to hit all the metrics, and you have to have at least one stylist who hits their metrics as well.
