I know what each client is talking about. I have worked for Smart Style for a few months and don't like what I see. I have had my lic for over a few years. Been working with clients on and off.
One of the supervisor hired me and left, then another supervisor took her position and stated to another stylist I hope you get the manager position. Well she didn't and it was given to me, Not only do I have experience but tack with clients. I care a alot of what clients say...
There have been many clients coming into the salon stating that other Smart Style salons were charging too high. The clients are right. Each salon and stylist seems to charge over and beyond the prices given to us. RIP off yes it is...
I know for a fact the records state that a manager or stylist has 3 months probation but this was not the case.
I totally disagree what the supervisor has done, telling me to step down, she knew she wanted another manager in the salon... There are channels to go thru, meaning verbal write up, then warning either 1,2 3, then possible correction or step down. I was not given the chance to correct or prove myself. Only 1 month... Where as the company states 3 months... Even as a manager, they tell you to hire, but ask if they are BLACK? Then when I do hire, then that is held against me. Supervisor stating I needed her permission to hire. So why have managers in the salon to hire and manager day to day when new supervisor have power trip over managers... When I needed the supervisor to hire, she stated only 1 P/T, then supervisor express to another stylist that I am trying to hire 1 F/T and 1 P/T...
Totally different, Supervisor states comments, depends on whom she is talking to... Nothing seems to match...
The supervisor then brings some other stylist to become manager, then tell one of the stylist you will like her she's BLACK, there it is again... Race... Should not be the issue.
There have been times I have heard that when a supversor does not like or want you in the salon, she just make her own arrangements to bring other in... Who she likes...
When the corp office states 3 months pro either for managers or stylist it should be 3 months not 1 month... Goes against company policy and not even given the manager or stylist a chance to prove themselve.
Not only clients have problems but the stylist, manager have a hugh problem with the supervisor... They favor who they want and don't want in managment/stylist/location...
