Pros

lots of tips, clients rebook, you meet great people

Cons

Wax specialists are required to be certified, but yet are getting under-payed. I believe every wax specialist should be getting at least $25 an hour plus commission. The commission should be higher & waxers shouldnt have to sell so much. i think we have forgotten here that the most important thing to take care of is the relationship a waxer builds with their clientele. A waxer should also not be double or triple booked in a 15 minute slot. insane

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.
