Pros

Great if you are just starting out because they build the clientele for you and you gain experience quickly.

Cons

Major burnout and they tell you that you can “give yourself a raise” by doing more hair cuts and therefore making more tips, but won’t actually pay you more.

Thanks for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear it led to burnout after so many years. It’s great to hear Great Clips helped you build your skills and clientele, but we understand how important support and balance are day to day. Since each salon is independently owned and operated, experiences can vary, but we’ll be sure to pass your feedback along to the appropriate team.
