Pros

Gives good training and helps with your haircut time with organized cutting system. Actually gives you medical benefits unlike some competitors. Good place for starting out out of school.

Cons

Pays under minimum in the state I'm in and there is no real ability to receive a raise and expects a lot out if an employee for low pay.

Because each salon is independently owned and operated, franchisees may use a number of different factors to determine stylist's total compensation. If you would like follow up, please email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you are employed and details. We will forward it to your franchisee for you. If you prefer to be anonymous, please let us know. Thank you.
