Pros
About the only thing positive in this salon are the clients that come in and they actually do maintain a dress code.
Cons
I worked in the Mason City location on 5th Street. I love the company great clips having assistant managed a different one, but this store was very poorly managed as it is not fully affiliated and doesn't abide by all the great clips standards. They did not have any cleaning sanitizer on hand for any of the stylists to use, however if they did the stylists in that salon are poorly trained at following state laws. They kept and reused the same dirty hair filled towels in their drawer to wipe their scissors off after every client without sanitizing, Witnessed all stylist reusing their clippers on clients without cleaning them in between( since they had no sanitizer) even the salon manager did this which is completely against state law. The break room was very unkept and disgusting. Hair was built up on the floor because it was not cleaned in such a long time. This includes the reception drawers and front desk with equipment. Combs at the end of night that they use on clients were not properly sanitized sitting in solution for the time it should to properly sanitize equipment. Overall I could not believe the manager was so lazy to not make sure Iowa laws were being met for the safety of the public and stylists. Next, I was hired Full time knowing full time hours range from 35-40. However i was still not receiving this as the manager brought on another stylist wanting her job back that with not enough hours to give to stylists. On slow days, manager would send home stylists really early which happened to be frequently leaving a full time stylist with part time hours. Hard to make a living this way.
