Pros

Simple work for a veteran stylist

Cons

This company does not pay a living wage for the area I live in, nor the years of experience I have. And they are open 7 days a week, meaning an user schedule. Hard to plan work life balance.

Because each salon is independently owned and operated, your franchisee would be the best person to address your concerns. Please contact them directly regarding any issues with employment.
