Pros

It is like you are an independent contractor. No one really keeps an eye on you. You come in, are responsible for your room and your clients.

Cons

Low pay, $17.87 and hour. commission sucks. I sold three items, got $1.80 commission. If you move to white level its a 0.25¢ raise for you to work faster. Not worth it. You will get denied a raise after working there for years because you got one bad review. You can only work 6 hours in a day. They have the day shift and night shift. No one gets full time, 3-4 days max. You can't get a day off. They will ask you to come in at a different time. This leads to girls calling out sick all the time. They don't close for holidays. This location in Encino has a few girls that act like they are in high school. They will not talk to you, only each other. Those same girls are dirty. They do not clean after themselves. They leave wax all over the room. They don't refill any of the products in the room they are using. They will mop but not sweep up the trash first. The owner need a to make surprise inspections.

Pros

Great coworkers, supportive team environment, loyal clients, and valuable opportunities to develop professional skills.

Cons

I’d like to raise some concerns about communication and fairness. We are asked to communicate everything, yet often our messages go unanswered or are met with a negative attitude. There is also a sense of favoritism in time-off approvals. Last-minute scheduling changes have disrupted my plans due to lack of notice. I’ve been incorrectly scheduled due to miscommunication, and I’ve had intense shifts without reasonable breaks. Additionally, our manager consistently arrives later than anyone, often when clients are waiting to pay, yet she gives attitude to others for minor delays. On top of that, product management is often last-minute. We run out of supplies like products, creams, or paper, and it only gets addressed when urgent, forcing us to scramble between rooms. I’m bringing these concerns forward because I hope for a more consistent, supportive, and equitable work environment for all of us.
