Pros

Very clean inviting place, a great place and start for someone young and fresh out of beauty school looking for work very young atmosphere, wouldn't recommend it for a seasoned and well experienced esthetician that's been working there craft for sometime ..... there techniques and methods are completely different from what you may be use to, they do have good quality wax but not recommended for all parts of the body.

Cons

Feels like a sweat shop they have unrealistic timeframe guidelines and too many ridiculous rules and regulations. They only give you 15 min to complete every wax service except when doing full legs thats a 30 min service no matter what type of guests you may have and the wax is not practical to use for eyebrows its way too thick and leaves too much room for error. No benefits offered, Only focused and driven on sales they want you to talk about product's the entire time you're in the room with the guest which makes people feel very uncomfortable and annoyed. Over all for everything that you do its definitely not worth the low minimum wage pay even after the lowsy commission pay. Just overall needs better structure.

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.
