Pros

It was easy and fun. The Stylists are great. It was my first job so and it was good step in the right direction.

Cons

A lot of down time. I got sent home a lot which I told them was completely fine since I lived so close by. Once it gets busy it gets REAL busy though. A lot of the customers do not understand the online check-in and then get mad at YOU if they don't have access to a computer or phone...
