Easy money you have a bais pay and you earn tips along with a percentage of product sells and productivity if your salon is buisy enough .

Cons

Sometimes the franchises are beyond strict saying thungs like you dont deserve to eat lunch you dont deserve to have time off to go see your family all you are allowed to do is stand behind the chair and cut hair and thats not right i am a humanbeing and i have needs like eating or using the bathroom everyonce in a while
