Pros

Lots of cash tips everyday. Good customer base. Lots of advertising. Clean salon. On going training. Stylists are friendly. It’s of products to sell. 10% commission on product sales. They let your customers request you which is good. They have an awesome app for smarts phones.

Cons

Times haircuts; 8-15 mins is not long enough for a consultation and precision haircut. Many management issues I could never get the days and times off for appointments outside of work. The benefits were not the best. Vacation time was paid at minimum wage.

Since each salon is independently owned and operated, the best person to address your feedback would be the franchisee. If you would like to share more, please email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon location where you were employed & details. We will provide it to the franchisee for you. If you prefer to be anonymous, we can forward it anonymously for you as well. Thank you.

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.
