Pros

Good work-life balance due to mostly part-time being the only one available Lower side of decent technique training

Cons

Company heavily values quantity over quality Company claims opportunities for raises are abundant but metrics required to qualify for said raises are unrealistic You are constantly pressured to move up levels (be faster) This specific center did not offer commission for the waxes but the front desk associates got bonuses for the wax passes they sold. The center manager at the time of my employment bragged to me about getting a $1,000 bonus. Overall treatment of waders and environment needs a lot of improvement Waxers are not paid what they are worth. This specific center only paid us minimum wage. It was often lower than most fast food establishments

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.
