Pros

Some of the regular customers were great, most of them were professional hair stylists so they knew already what they were looking for.

Cons

Where do I start? The manager was horrible. I was hired as a non professional when it comes to hair styling yet the manager expected me to know it all and when I had no idea on which bleach or developer to recommend to a customer she would throw a tizzy fit because she had to help a customer. It brings me to one point of working here: do NOT apply here blindly, you should make sure you know about hair and coloring it because you WILL get questions about it. If you work here, also do not expect any compensation such as raises or advancement. I can only suggest this job to people in hair styling who need an extra paycheck. NOT for beginners.

Pros

The people I worked with were always really cool and it was honestly a very easy job.

Cons

Upper level management was too uptight about certain goals that were unrealistic for beauty advisors, but there was never any big repercussions. Too little pay for the amount of work I did.
