Don't EVER work for a Regis owned company

Don't ever work for a Regis owned co! Clients don't realize, they own everything! Bo-Ricks, Supercuts, Mastercuts, Regis, Trade Secrets, Ponopolus, Hair Masters! Probably more, by now. You will never make any money as a stylist. I had 30 years experience and made the same money as the stylists just out of beauty school. My friend, (a great manager by the way) lost her house and her car while working there, because she made a whole whopping $8-9 an hr. Ever wonder why all the stylists and managers are 20 something? Because most of the time, the older stylists have more brains than to do all that work and only make a dollar more an hour than the stylists. The younger ones by into all the crap they feed you about how far you are going to go in the company, yada yada, and jump thru all the hoops, thinking they are making a great career choice. The truth is, the only ones who get rich are at the top. You will work your @#%$ off, weekends, holidays and nights, and after 5 years the most I made was $10 an hour, and that was maybe 4 paychecks in all that time. The last year I worked there, I made $18,000, and that included retail, of which I sold $5,000 that year. We had a fat @#&* manager who thought she knew everything, (after the good one had to quit, because she didn't make enough) threatened us that we would get fired after 3 complaints, (of course, her complaints were never her fault) all the while letting a girl work there for 6 mo. Who was a psycho. She would grab the retail sales out of our hands right in front of the customers, if she thought it was her turn, hog 3 or 4 customers in a row, when we were supposed to be taking turns, etc. (By the way, she owns a salon in Wyoming, MI) named Lily's, and I would stay away from there too! I took all this to the district manager, and higher, and never heard a word after I left. Goes to show, they dont' really care about the customers. I was the highest grossing stylist in color sales, and since myself and the other experienced stylists were all forced out, the salon has never made it's sales goals (love it!) Now all they can get are young girls just out of beauty schools, who aren't smart enough to know the score. If that's you, and you are reading this, the solution is easy. Don't work for any chain salon, they all work the same, and trust me, it's never about the employee. And maybe all of you who have written in on here, will finally realize, that if you want good service, find a stylist that you like, try them out with a style or a trim first, and don't assume that every stylist out there knows how to color, because they don't. And when someone does a great job, be appreciative with a nice tip. Maybe then, the ones with years of experience won't be forced into other careers, because they can't pay their bills.
