As manager, I always took my staffs best interest to. We were a tight nit team that would hang out together, we would stand by each other in good times and in bad. At the time of this review, they have lost 7 stylists from the team I lead since then. It's been almost a year and the receptionist hasn't returned. The general manager stated that it was a bet and she would give her 6 weeks. The franchisee stated that she would be back in 3 months.

A receptionist earned her license and she wanted to try another salon. Bets would be placed on how long it would take a stylist to return. A stylist had to tell her children that they could not play sports or have jobs due to an erratic schedule! If a stylist left to try an independent salon, they were given the silent treatment. Stylists had to leave so they could start their families, take care of their families, or partake in medical treatment as the management would not allow the needed time off.
The staff had to give up vacation days, were guilted into staying passed their scheduled time off, and declined days off to be with family. Instead, it led to broken promises, guilt trips, and making the staff feel like a disposable can of fruit cocktail. The franchisee and general manager always said that they treated the staff fairly, with dignity, respect, and like family. I feel as if I wasted almost 3 years of my life with this organization. they schedule according to business flow, so you don't have 10 stylists fighting over one client AND it sometimes really helps the day fly by because you are going ALL d.

they offer bonuses for productivity, working Sundays, "firefighter" bonus (this is for filling in at a salon within your franchise where someone has called out or they are short staffed) and closing as well as retail sales, they offer 6 paid holidays to full time employees, and accrued vacation hours to full time employees (these benefits may vary within other franchises) no chemical services (in MOST franchises) for those that just prefer cuts or have a sensitivity to perm solution/ peroxide each franchise is held to strict performance and visual standards which are enforced through visits from corporate auditors the salon supplies ALL equipment excluding shears, clippers, and trimmers (within MY franchise) they offer base hourly pay so you don't have to worry about a "slow day" ruining your paycheck like you do with "walk-in" commission based salons they offer great health benefits, full health insurance and dental you can average up to $10 or more an hour in tips customer flow has the potential to be great great one on one type environment with owners and upper management If you like a work environment that offers the benefits of a "mom and pop" business but has the support and backing of a corporate business, this is an ideal place for you. A majority of the haircuts were straightforward and took less than 20 mins, but everyone's hair is different, so there were many times where I would have a bunch of short, quick haircuts, but then have one person who wan. While on paper, this makes sense, the actual execution was very difficult. The only way to make more money was either by meeting a certain percentage of sales, having shorter haircuts, having shorter wait times, or doing more haircuts in a shorter period of time. I would end up paying for my own Clini-Clip spray because the contact time is shorter, so I could ensure my tools would be properly disinfected between clients. The guidelines were to spend no more than 3 minutes cleaning your station, but the contact time for Clippercide on tools is 10 minutes. The expectations for the speed of the haircuts was difficult at times, but the most unrealistic expectations was how fast you were expected to clean your station between haircuts. Management was nice sometimes, but it was near impossible to get time off unless you asked a month in advance, which is ridiculous when the schedules were only released 2 weeks in advance. The franchisee I worked for took months just to fix a simple problem, even when we constantly reached out about said problem. Part of the problem is how inconsistent each salon's quality is based on how it's run by each individual franchisee. While I enjoyed my time with my coworkers at Great Clips, I don't really miss working for this company.
