Pros

Co-workers. Some customers are nice.

Cons

Never get weekends off, even though they advertise as “rotating weekends”. This did not happen once in the 8 years I was with the company. Salons can never stay fully staffed, so you’re working 10 hour days. Customers are rude and entitled. Can not call in sick without being guilt tripped. 1 day off a week, would probably be 7 days if they didn’t have to pay you time and a half for the 7th day. Have to take customers up to closing even with an hour + wait.
