Pros

The store manager was great to work with. He encouraged the stylists to do well. If all you like to do is cut hair and not do color, this is a great place. It is very fast paced and you are expected to complete your hair cut in <13 minutes.

Cons

The owners and general manager of the company could care less about you. There is no communication between management. Alot of gossip, drama but then again that is in most salons

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.
