Guaranteed hourly rate, possibility of bonuses (depending on franchisee). No need to find clientele. I've had days where I made $60.00 in tips.

Cons

Most stylist are paid minimum wage. Raises are minimal if at all. I've had days where I made $10 in tips. Have had to perform 30 haircuts in one day.
