GLAMSQUAD

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexible hours and great support from their service department! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Driving in traffic and running late for next appointment because the last client wasn’t ready on time 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Easy going but professional and fun 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Has been slow lately so maybe only 2 or 2 clients a day but I also only work in 2 zones and you can work more zones and most likely book more appointments but then drive time, traffic issues and gas will be more

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to gain freelance experience as you’re able to take on as many bookings as they’re offered to you. A big con is that you have no control over a client being unhappy with their glam and rating you such despite you believing the appointment went well. In a world where beauty is subjective, I find that a lot of clients have  unrealistic expectations when it comes to getting their makeup done, and when you don’t make them look like a IG filter you pay for it by getting negative ratings and being offered less bookings.

Although getting around and parking can be difficult. There are too many upsides to rate this company less than 5. Management is great, opportunity is abundant and your schedule is completely up to you. The compensation isn’t bad, and this job keeps you in your toes literally and metaphorically. Its all about styling so no cuts or color is involved. You literally get paid to beautify people and go on to your next client. Clients range from housewives and mothers to celebrities, politicians etc. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
You are able to meet different people all the time. Also, you last long enough and can build clientele. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not having enough time some times. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Diversity and inclusion. 
Fun and welcoming. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working diligently to get the service done at a timely manner. Easy going if you know what you’re doing and can take direction well.

The job is fun if you feel like running around the city from place to place with barely 30 minutes to get around. I enjoyed not being in an office all day and being around the city by myself but it's unstable financially and they seem to give majority of the appointments to the people that stop by the office and kiss up to the higher ups.

Also, you're way more likely to get sick doing this job. Just from the constant travel and interactions with so many people in a day. So, prepare for that.

Glamsquad is as bad if not worse than Priv.  They equally undervalue their pros and the industry as a whole.
You as a pro have no control as to how many bookings you are assigned.  You get rated as a group if there is more than one pro so if say a hairstylist is late you will probably get downrated for being late too. 

If you are not shy about working with the super-affluent and well connected women of New York Glamsquad is the job for you.  As a freelancer your not chained to working in a salon environment. I feel like when you rub shoulders with these women it leaves one with the ability to aspire to new heights. My advice, dress well and wear lipstick.

I was only with them for a short amount of time but they had a clear vision of who they wanted apart of their team. Managers/Leaders really made it a point to get the team together for events and gatherings to learn more about one another. Hands on classes, overall an amazing environment. Loved the freedom to create my own schedule

I joined GS because I love doing makeup and I wanted to have more special event clients.  I mostly work as a commercial makeup artist, so this has been a nice balance for me creatively.    The only con I have is that is very cheap for a luxury service.  The busy seasons makeup for that, but after those days are gone it is sometimes hard to to justify spending gas on only one client during the day.

They only hire the best! And the hiring process is lengthy but once you're a part of the team, its a great way to make extra money when things get slow in the salon or you just want to make some extra money. If you're in Los Angeles you can make really good money. They just opened in OC so its a little slower out there. But all and all a great company to work for just be reliable/professional.
