Pros

Friendly coworkers. flexible scheduling. Learned some tips and tricks.

Cons

Didn't finish the training process. Was taught the "right" way to do things THREE DIFFERENT ways. Videos, and two different trainers. Trainer lifted skin in the bikini area on my friend who was also training. my friend also has a bald spot on her eyebrow from the trainer waxing her brows and has been complaining or constant itching for two weeks. Trainer also waxed my brows and made one A LOT shorter than the other which I had to correct on my own. Was also told during the free services to push products on people and when I finished the service, I was required to walk them to the 'product wall' and suggest products AND put them in their hands or give the to the front desk girls so that the customer "feels guilty and buys at least one product". My friend who was also training with me left as well. Both didn't agree with their policies. Both found better opportunities.

Pros

Great coworkers, supportive team environment, loyal clients, and valuable opportunities to develop professional skills.

Cons

I’d like to raise some concerns about communication and fairness. We are asked to communicate everything, yet often our messages go unanswered or are met with a negative attitude. There is also a sense of favoritism in time-off approvals. Last-minute scheduling changes have disrupted my plans due to lack of notice. I’ve been incorrectly scheduled due to miscommunication, and I’ve had intense shifts without reasonable breaks. Additionally, our manager consistently arrives later than anyone, often when clients are waiting to pay, yet she gives attitude to others for minor delays. On top of that, product management is often last-minute. We run out of supplies like products, creams, or paper, and it only gets addressed when urgent, forcing us to scramble between rooms. I’m bringing these concerns forward because I hope for a more consistent, supportive, and equitable work environment for all of us.
