Writing is on the Wall - Anonymous employee Habitude Employee Review

relaxing environment, great management and easy location close to restaurants and fun things to do after work

customers could be hard to work with, but everyone works as a team usually and help each other out

Large Aveda color room and Davines hair care products. Beautiful space with lots of windows. Great location. Bus stop right outside spa. My salon manager was awesome and loved working with her.

At first I was excited to go to work but after the first month the excitement wore off. While I did make commission it amounted to minimum wage plus tips. The tips were not that great because the company charges an additional ten percent service fee when the client goes to pay. Many stylist didn't like that I was at a higher experience level thus a higher commission rate. This created an uncomfortable working environment from the first day to my last day. The leveling system I found degrading and too competitive. The stylist were always calling out sick and there was a super high turnover rate. The worst part was the manipulation of your schedule and books along with favoritism that made it difficult to build a solid customer base. There is no parking for employees but you can park at the near by museum for a daily fee. I do not recommend parking in the back alley as many employees cars got broken into. Also the stylist at the highest levels get priority booking so be prepared for slow days and unreliable income. Sadly there was no continuing education unless you sell a certain amount in product.
