The life at Smartstyle
Hairstylist (Former Employee), Roanoke, VA – May 17, 2013
Pros: good hours good pay great manager/coworkers
Cons: no benefits poor location and manager left
Everyday was usually a good day at smartstyle. I had one of the best managers out of all my employeers. I had just gotten out of Cosemtology and she helped me a lot. Anytime I needed help she would set aside anything that she was doing to help!

Great Stylist, fun atmospher
Cosmetologist (Current Employee), Norfolk, VA – April 16, 2013
Smart Style is a fun place to work. The people you meet daily are amazing and being located inside of the walmart is super convienient. Unfortunatley there is no growth with the company, you begin as just a stylist making min. wage and you leave as a stylist making min. wage.

stressfull
Hair Stylist (Former Employee), Amsterdam, NY – March 22, 2013
Pros: benefits
Cons: alone in shop. can't satisfy everyone. not busy/less money
typical day was open gate, turn everything on. Wait on clients and clean up shop. Try to sell retail.
I learned you can't satisfy everyone
Management was normal.
co-workers were nice if not working by yourself
hardest part was being alone in shop most of the time.
most enjoyable part was that it wasn't very busy

work alone a lot, not given enough hours
Hair Stylist (Current Employee), Waterloo, IL – February 12, 2013
Pros: making people feel good about themselves
Cons: no team, not enough hours, no room to advance
I arrive at work a little before 10:00am so I can count the money in the register and take the money drop to the bank. Most days we do not get busy till around 11:30 or so. I make sure our waxing stations wax pot is on ,check for towels to be folded , and if we had an order come that has come in I will start pricing product and stocking shelves. I also – more... work on clients( haircuts, color, waxing ,perms,) and answer phone calls.I have learned that our salon is only as strong as its team and I feel that is lacking here. The hardest part for me is working alone ( I do not need to work with people but I prefer a team). In a salon setting having a strong team projects success, ability, and confidence in our individual abilities.The most enjoyable part of the job for me is making a client love the person staring back at them in the mirror. Its rewarding to have someone thats hates their hair when they sit down and love it when they get up. It always makes me smile when they can't stop touching it. – less

Unpleasant
Stylist (Former Employee), Geneseo, NY – February 5, 2013
my time at Smart Style was, unfortunately, very unpleasant. it may have been just that specific salon, but i was very disappointed in the way the salon was managed and the way i was personally treated. any training i was promised, i did not receive. i was reprimanded and belittled more often than not, rather than receiving constructive criticism or – more... being praised for the things i actually did right. if the manager of the salon had taken her job a little more seriously, i may have excelled at my job, seeing that i was just starting out in a salon environment, rather than seeming to have failed as she often made it out to be.
i did enjoy interacting with the clients and had several that loved my style. – less
