Boardroom Reviews

-Frequent payroll mistakes -Terrible management -Corporate does not value employees -Hourly pay is low, commission is almost nonexistent -Little opportunity for advancement. -"Management training program" is a joke, there is no actual training- you just do the job of a manager for the pay of a receptionist. -Odd and restrictive dress code (ex: "skirts cannot be shorter than knee length" "no maxi skirts or dresses" "tattoos must be covered with clothing, not accessories or bandages") -Sexist hiring practices (will not hire male cosmetologists. Looks, age and gender are all bigger factors than actual skill level) -Lewd behavior rampant among management -The little on the job training available is very poor quality -Low quality supplies sourced mostly from Sally's Beauty -Individuality is very much discouraged -Employees are pressured to fill out reviews on sites like this and in local "best of" competitions to bolster bad ratings. After years of working in food service, retail, and telemarketing...this was by far the unhappiest I've ever been with a job. Our clientele was great and my coworkers were nice, but management has some serious ethical problems from the very core. If I could give negative stars, I would.

The stylists are worked like dogs. Back to back clients all day, and no breaks. They are micromanaged by the manager on a lot of details. Constant problems with salon duties, gossip, and inappropriate relationships with clients. Stylists will get written up for being 10 minutes short on a service. If you are new to one of the corporate salons in DFW, you most likely will be gossiped about and harassed. If you try and reach out to your area manager, she will become part of the harassment as well. The front desk is always stressed, and being forced to enter false data to hit “team green”. The girls at the front are the most attacked in the salon by the manager and other stylists. The salon I worked at lost a few great receptionists due to harassment. The company is great, the pay is great and the clients are great, but the fraud and dishonesty at my salon was enough to steer me and my clients away. My location has the right idea for success, but management needs to be replaced immediately before there is a lawsuit.
