      Pros

      It’s a job, there are some tips (but not good ones).

      Cons

      Clientele are dirty, cheap, and rude. Salons are almost always so dirty and in disrepair it’s embarrassing. The tips stink-expect to be “stuffed” frequently. Horribly abusive environment from the staff/management to the clients. Expect to be told you are the problem, not them...because EVERYONE I know that has worked for GC has had that line fed to them. Pay is way below industry standards.

      We are sorry that this was your experience. The best person to address your feedback would be the franchisee as each salon is independently owned and operated. If you would like to share more, you can email Jeanne@greatclips.com with the salon locations where you were employed and details. We will forward it to the franchisees for you. Thank you.
