03/04/2025 - Liberty Hill, TX
Pros
Steve and Peggy own this location and they are the franchisees that you want to work for in this area, another bonus is having Ashlee as your area manager. This is the only company I have ever worked for that felt like they actually cared about me as a person. They grew me and guided me and I am so thankful for them.
Cons
I dont have any bad things to say.
Poor Pay, Poor Hours, Poor All Around

Pros
-Great for your first job.-Little to no experience required.-Some coworkers can be nice & helpful.
Cons
-Bare minimum you can legally be paid with.-Poor hours.-Drama-filled environment, Stylists will guilt you into giving them commission from customer purchases then get upset with you; amongst other things.-Management wants you to constantly look busy - if you need to sit from your feet aching you aren't allowed.-Filthy environment, break room was not a standard people should be expected to eat food in nor take bathroom breaks in.

The hours are a little unreasonable, most locations are open until 9pm and people come in with all of their kids at 8:59 and you still have to take them. You have to buy your own scissors and clippers. Certain locations have terrible managers and a lot of bullying
