Chloe,I have been working for the JCP salon for 12 years now. It is an excellent way to start out, but be aware, it is corporate. You will not have a choice of product to use. You use what they have, and ONLY what they have. You supply your metal implements and your Acrylic Brush. They supply everything else. If something is not in stock that you need, you learn to make do. You need to make production quotas, if you do not, you are written up. The plus side is that they offer benefits, even to part timers. They do the advertising for you. they offer training for the hairstylists. You charge the prices they set. You also have to go through training as normal store associates do. Videos for HazMat, how to learn register, loyalty, etc....Also, watch out if there is a contract you have to sign that you cannot work within a certain radius when you do decide to leave.. I forget what mine was I signed it so long ago. If you do build clientele, decide to leave, you cannot work within a certain area and most likely will not be able to retain all of your clients because they will not travel that far. Saturday mornings and afternoon are way busier that night. Sundays have always been good to me when I worked them. If you have any questions, you can email me privately, [email protected] if you wish. Have a good day,Lisa
