pay is crap. been doing hair for almost a year at a franchise store in the mall and the hours suck, tips suck, no holiday/sick time or pay, work most holidays -even new years day, hours suck, once again , and the pay is CRAP! i loved the idea of going into the hair industry but all i got is bad aniexty and crappy complaints from people who wanted a free hair cut-and i am not even bad at doing hair! i just don’t care about these people because they don’t tip. sorry but i wish i would have spent my $14k elsewhere because these large coroporations are stealing from US!

I am a cosmetology who is graduating soon and torn between going to a high up salon where I’ll be an assistant for at least a year and going to a small salon where I will be given a chair after a couple of months. I have always had a passion for doing hair and am excited to start my career even though the beginning is hard and you basically do all the work for what seems to be no pay. However, after those obstacles are overcome, it all pays off :)

Good article- while the cosmetology is an excellent field to enter (flexible schedules, great income potential, creativity) its not the cakewalk I think a lot of people envision. Thanks for mentioning the truth about this industry and also the truth about how much assistants get paid… every $5 you can throw your shampoo girl helps! A lot of salons pay assistants day-rates of $50-$60 for a full 9-10 hour day so they’re relying on your tips to pay the rent! I will say, though…if you have a passion for the industry you should follow your dream as I have- leaving corporate life has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, regardless of now eating a whole lot of ramen ;)
