First Choice Haircutters Employer Reviews

i work with a great bunch of people... Can get busy with clientele.

A typical day at work would involve interacting with people all day, offering services and providing them with an enjoyable experience that they will look forward to having again. I learned a lot while working at this particular job when it comes to dealing with members of the public and it allowed me to quickly develop strong communication and interpersonal – more... skills. My coworkers were a joy to work with; everyone worked productively as a team and everyone contributed to making it a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere to work in. Difficulties of this job included; having to deal with rude customers and being on my feet all day long. The most enjoyable part was meeting new people every day and making them smile. – less

I have worked with the few employees who worked at the shop. Everyone is friendly, helpful, hardworking and easy to get along with. I had to run the shop alone for a week, and help run the shop for another month after that, as the manager took leave.
The hardest part of the job was being away from home most of the time. I like knowing customers are – more... happy when they walk out of the shop – less

First Choice is a great place to work, always busy, so no sitting around waiting for clients. My managers are great, and they do a good job and keeping things flowing smoothly and efficiently.

The hardest part of the job is that you need to have an open availability, so it can be tricky to plan personal things ahead.

A plus is that its so busy, and – more... you're able to do so many haircuts, that the tips are pretty good. There are always different incentives that keep you motivated and having fun, as well as product samples from various companies. The days go by fast, and as long as everyone works together its an enjoyable environment. – less

Everything is perfect except salary ....
Hairscuting,coloring perming, hi lites ,greeting the clients consultation for their hair need...

the employees do everything they humanly can for this company and the management just walk all over the place. It's incredibly unsanitary at FCH, and i recommend washing your scalp with bleach if you're a customer there because you'll get a fungal infection if you don't. i've seen it, i worked there 4 years, do not go near this place or supercuts.

extremely fun and exciting job I miss my job very much the regis company is like a huge family

Our district manager is constantly bullying us and harassing us. She makes us feel useless. We have contacted head office several times about this issue and nothing has been done about it. They don't offer any raises when you ask for one, they simply tell you that you don't qualify with no explanation. We only get one half hour unpaid lunch and no 15 – more... minute breaks which violates the labour laws. Emergency days are really frowned upon, even when it is a life and death matter, they don't care. – less

First Choce was a very fast paced place. Always something to do. I enjoyed havng someone new in my chair all the time. Very social place.

Typical days are very busy.
It's a great place to start a hairstyling career
The management is decent but promotions are based on senority
Hardest part is keeping everyone happy with short wait times
Making commission and tips

This was a good company to work for. I was especially happy about the hours I was allowed to work and the opportunity to make commission. It was good being able to make tips but I wish there would have been opportunities to get a raise. My good friend has worked there for 5 years and is still making the same amount of money.
