Fun fast pace working environment. Some small let downs but overall not a bad place to work.
Beauty Consultant (Former Employee) - Medicine Hat, AB - 10 May 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedChatters wasn’t a bad place to work at. I worked there for many years though and never got a raise or reward. Sometimes it can be toxic as there is lots of drama. But, besides all that you learned a lot about beauty products and it was nice being able to help customer find what they were looking for. Also working there you got great discounts on products and hair appointments.

Garbage
Stylist (Former Employee) - Nanaimo, BC - 11 May 2022
A chain company only worried about how much money they made. Known predator on staff. They won’t do anything about them. Very unorganized at the Nanaimo location

Don't work management here!!
Salon Leader (Former Employee) - Kamloops - 29 April 2022
If you are thinking of applying for a Management position, just don't. Seriously, don't. It'll sound like sunshine and roses and a great paycheck but you will be at your kitchen table at 11 pm trying to get all your management work done, because you spent all day covering your store. There is no work life balance. Every day off you have somebody will need something or there will be a client esculation that you have to deal with to keep the salon running. When speaking to head office including HR about such issues they tell you 'to keep hanging in there it gets better'. There is no getting better when you are working 6 to 7 days a week to keep the doors open. Was told from the CEO 'Sometimes that's just what it takes to be sucessful'. Made the company A LOT of $$$ was not compensated for extra hours. Was promised extra lieu time and never able to take it. Just kept being told 'it will get better', and it never did. Don't do it.
Pros
Discount on product is great, training from companties on products is great
Cons
Long hours, working on days off, no work life balance, working for free, no lieu days given

Beauty Consultant (Former Employee) - Waterloo, ON - 28 April 2022
Chatters has no respect for any employees mental health I contacted human resources twice about how horrible it was and absolutely nothing was done, This was such a negative environment to be in. Upper management is disgusting will never shop at chatters again nor will I encourage anyone else to!

Met some really great people
SENIOR BEAUTY CONSULTANT (Former Employee) - Lethbridge, AB - 1 April 2022
Not many opportunities to advance further, rather you end up in the same position with the same pay rate just more responsibilities the longer you are there and it seems more and more incentives are taken away

not great work environment, no sales commission!
Beauty Consultant (Current Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 18 March 2022
ABSOLUTELY NO sales commission for beauty consultants and front counter associates. They make product sales goals extremely unattainable , so bonuses are never a possibility! Also, management and other staff like to gossip about other employees. It is Nonstop at my location. When you try to address anything, management brushes it off, or picks sides. Thanks but, i’ll go to a salon where I am valued and treated with kindness and given a liveable wage.

Beginner stylist, broken dreams. Depends on location if you will feel welcome or not.
Hairstylist (Former Employee) - St. John's, NL - 17 March 2022
Chatters was a lovely workplace at the first location I worked at, they were willing to help me with the things I didn’t feel confident in and had some patience for me. The staff at this location were majority very lovely to me and had little to no issue with anyone. Then I moved and transferred to another location and felt completely unwanted. I wasn’t able to meet their standards due to my lack of speed and experience since I had only been out of school a few months. It crushed me to feel so unwelcome and made me decide to no longer pursue hairstyling. Unfortunately I was not insanely amazing instantly like some expect in the industry which is unrealistic in general. I hope others can have a better experience than I did.
Pros
Kind coworkers
Cons
Lack of patience for beginners

Good for a discount on things
Service Manager (Former Employee) - Market Mall, AB - 16 March 2022
Chatters has a lot to offer in terms of education, benefits, and discounts, but it doesn’t add up to the awful executive management who don’t know what they are doing in terms of hair salons
Pros
Discounts, benefits
Cons
Toxic upper management, payroll issues

Awful company, they steal from you, blame you for everything that goes wrong even of you weren't working that day.
Receptionist/Administrative assistant (Former Employee) - Owen Sound, ON - 17 February 2022
They are shady, to the point they will throw you under the bus to make them look better. Just overall not a good company to work for or work with. They randomly delete your vacation too

You are just a number too them if you are unhappy their only response is for you to quit and find somewhere to work
Senior beauty consultant (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 10 February 2022
At this company, I have given so many years to them and have never even gotten anything in return, management is not there for you to help you succeed, my sales speak for themselves yet I have never seen compensation. Even for taking on more responsibility’s you are not given any wage increase such as being a key holder or training people you are not shown any gratitude. Also working in the beauty industry there does need to be some beauty upheld on our part but waving in someone’s face and saying that, that is the problem because they don’t have a full face of makeup is completely absurd and extremely rude. No one should be shamed for not wearing a full face of makeup if their hair and clothes are completely professional. I have nothing really good to say about this company except you meet some good people who you can become friends with but the management is complete trash.
Pros
Making customers happy helping them feel beautiful
Cons
Awful management

The company is about money and doesn't care for their staff
Store Manager (Former Employee) - Nanaimo, BC - 8 February 2022
I thought this was a great canadian company but in reality it is not. They have Unreachable quotas so its impossible to get bonuses, they don't back up the staff when an internal conflict occurs, they terminate people without cause without directly asking both sides of the story, upper management in head office are unethical and unprofessional. Training is too basic.
Pros
90% off services
Cons
Pay is not great, Too much work for such low pay, Unprofessional upper management, Don't pay overtime, Don't pay mileage for banking, HR is not fair when investigating a so called issue, they say it's a safe environment to talk but when you bring up any issues they back lash you, upper management has favorites

Slow, no room to grow, good employee discount
Beauty Consultant (Former Employee) - Red Deer, AB - 9 January 2022
Pretty slow, but good employee discount. No room to grow as a beauty consultant, so it’s a good job if you’re a student or looking for part time work.

Treated very poorly and paid poorly as well
Picker / Packer (Former Employee) - Red Deer, AB - 10 December 2021
Getting yelled at and called names yet having good reviews at odds with one another. Lots of people quit and went on stress leave because of the terrible treatment. Higher ups didn’t care
Pros
Discounted product and service

Not bad starting job
Beauty Consultant (Former Employee) - Red Deer, AB - 28 November 2021
Working front was okay. The people there were great and the company places importance on customers. You can learn a lot of useful skills. There isn't much room for advancement though, and no pay raises. They also cut your hours with no warning. Fun job, but not a long lasting job
Pros
Good people, product discount, few selling incentives
Cons
Unsteady hours, low pay

Low wages
Stylist (Former Employee) - Sherwood Park, AB - 28 November 2021
They will provide you with lots of hours. However the quality of clientele here can be quite low. Many people do not care who they revived as a stylist as they are not loyal. Management is lacking and more fixed on numbers then a good business culture.

Be careful with your interview process.
Service Manager (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 6 August 2021
A lot of lies, to be blunt. Impossible incentives. Poor district management, due to lack of salon knowledge. Zero opportunity to advance your career to professional levels.
Pros
None
Cons
Lies lies and more lies.

Save your time
Beauty Advisor (Former Employee) - Medicine Hat, AB - 18 July 2021
Management is very selfish and picks favourites with both the hairdressers and the girls working at the front desk. The stylists also acted very self entitled and rude, it was not a nice environment to go to every single day.
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Manager
