Overall Reviews at Great Clips

Fun work atmosphere
Plenty of room for growth if you put your mind to it. The more flexible you are the more flexible they are willing to bend at times. Excellent compensation package in addition to excellent competitive pay scale. Not to mention tips are great if your a great stylist with an amazing attitude.
ProsWe are all one big family
ConsCan bicker like family would

Great job
I was laid off due to ownership change that all employees were replaced. I was able to further my career to be placed in a retail/management position.

Great Clips
I like Great Clips people who work there, but the job is too demanding. You are on your feet all day with no breaks, It is a high stress job and is not worth the little money you make. A lot of the clients are rude and act like they are getting an $80.00 haircut when they bring in a coupon for a 5.99 haircut! Ridiculous.

It is fun and rewarding. I like to be there and appreciate all the upper management does for this team. They create an environment that is easy to succeed in.

If you want a fast paced fun environment that provides lots of continued education this is the place for you!
It is a great place to work if you don’t want to have to worry about bring your own clientele! You are always busy and there are always chances for bonuses raises and different ways to move up in the company! They always offer furthering education classes and want their stylist to be the best that they can be.
ProsGreat franchisees
ConsNot very good healthcare

In 10 yrs. I learned there is no typical day at Great Clips.
Working here you learn and earn, you must be ready to accept change at the last minute. Must be on time, ready to work. And,
keep your equipment ready.

Nice clients
Nice clients most of the time. They could pay more per hour getting the tips is nice and a set schedule would be really nice. Manager was a little bit frazzled most of the time.
