Pros

Nice clients, nice salon, nice area of salon location, busy salon, very clean salon due to the hairdressers doing a good job.

Cons

Sport Clips is a 'sweat shop' for hairdressers. When you do 2 hair cuts an hour at $15.00 each that's $30.00. I made $9.25 an hour. Sport Clips made $20.00+. All hairdressers were clocked out at closing time. The people that show up before before closing got their haircuts done when I was off the clock so I did these hair cuts for free. Then the salon is cleaned and I did this for free too. When I showed my husband the out line for how I was paid. He said that it should not be so confusing to understand. My husband is highly educated and has an IQ of 160. Sport Clips brain washes it's stylists to think that if they are off the clock and still working that it's to their advantage to have less hours of being paid for your work. You make 10% of retail sales.....but only after you have sold $75.00. This is a GREEDY company to work for.

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

Great hourly pay with tips. Averaged about $38 to $40 an hour. Great starting place. They do offer training. The co-workers were nice at my location. Management does help you with flexible scheduling so if you have children, it works out great.

Cons

Burnout is real. Expected to complete service within an allotted short time. Too many clients come in that want expensive barbershop cuts but want to pay the lowest price (they really shouldn’t even go to sport clips for). Also, way too many clients with long hair wanting full scissor cuts. They won’t turn away clients even if the cuts they ask for are — are not something sport clips does or allows for a lot of time. TV’s get annoying after a while (too loud).
