      Would never go back - Stylist Great Clips Employee Review

      Pros

      You will make good money, especially after tips. Good way to build clientele. You get most holidays off (Christmas, Easter, Fourth of July etc) and after one year you get paid for 5 hours during those holidays.

      Cons

      Terrible hours. 8am to 9pm, and there is a rule that if a group of people come in one minute before you still have to cut their hair. They need to start closing earlier if they want to retain employees. Management had no authority in dealing with bullies or bad employees, they only really existed to work 50 hour weeks and get yelled at by customers. The cheap prices and quick service attracts a lot of “Karen” types with hundreds of badly behaved kids which was exhausting. They do not allow you to take breaks. When I had Covid they wrote me up for not coming in when it would have been illegal for me to do so.

      Because each salon is independently owned and operated, your franchisee would be the best person to address your concerns. Please contact them directly regarding any issues with employment.

      Haircutting exclusive so if you enjoy other services in the industry (chemicals, waxing, updo styling) this is not the place Franchised salons, so salons are ran differently.
