      Pros

      Tips can be good depending on location. Good for newbies trying to build speed and efficiency.

      Cons

      This is a chop shop so it's strenuous work, stylists are overwhelmed with back to back to back clients due to being short staffed. Long hours, 30 min lunch breaks. Some locations have really sorry tippers and tips will make up most of your paycheck. You can make money, but you'll collapse at the end of your shift.

      Because each salon is independently owned and operated, franchisees may use a number of different factors to determine total compensation. If you would like to share more, please email Jeanne@greatclips.com. We will provide it to the franchisee for you. Thank you.
