Pigtails & Crewcuts Haircuts For Kids

The Pigtails and Crewcuts in Southlake Texas is currently run by a old lady that WILL LIE to you upon hiring you. Promised 40 hours, and was not getting it. Tips set up in box at front desk for anyone to dib into, or not even place your tip into right box to begin with. Either way twice I caught tips that for sure should of been there not there. Extremely low pay. No Benefits offered. They do not want you taking the proper time to clean between customers. Stylist leave hair in clippers, scissors with hair, and dirty combs on stations while taking another. Owners/ Manager rush you to do this, and they do NOT want you taking a break to eat at any time during a full eight hour shift. Just a quick snack, and get back to work. Manager yells at you insinuating you are a disobedient child if when you need to go use restroom you do not first wash out four buckets that hold combs. Even though I stopped to grab combs, and capes on way to bathroom just to be helpful. I was the main one doing that anyway, manager is extremely lazy, but makes it appear she is working hard. She enjoys dictating to others rather than strengthening a crew by true leadership. She loves to brag about herself, and the first clue will be during your interview. In 31 years I have never seen such a poor manager. They lie about what they pay

I worked for P&C for 9 months & at first everything was great ! The customers were cool, pay was also good, and my coworkers we like family.. coming to work was fun (at first). The owner was constantly in the salon, in the parents face , and blowing bubbles to “distract crying kids” which ultimately made the haircut even longer (all things I looked past). My last few weeks there, they hired a manager & The micromanaging began. They literally wrote me up for curling my hair In the salon (my first time ever doing that within the 9 months of working there). I felt bullied and singled out for doing things EVERYONE did regularly. Yes I use to be late more times than not (no more than 5-10 late) but I was reliable & ALWAYS came to work.. I literally got fired for being sick and not covering my shift.. another employee quit due to a similar situation.. The owners will act all nice in the beginning but will soon show you their true colors.. they don't care about their employees, all they care about is themselves ! Save your time & find employment that cares about YOU

Absolutely can’t manage a Salon well, by not being there!!! Period. Although I’m not the norm, most or (a lot in this industry) like absentee owners, as they- ( employees) have NO integrity and are different people( magically) when owners around and when they’re not, that way they can do whatever they want, or don’t want to do!!! Which makes for an unprofessional environment, makes you feel like a teenager working in a fast food place, instead of a professional environment, where you take your ‘career’ seriously! And with a team that is equally ‘on board’ with what it takes to keep things professional and running smoothly! Not just magically turning in to that person, when tips are involved!! In which case you’ve probably learned how to ‘ mimic’ those few in the industry that know how to give ‘good’ customer service, from the heart( that is)and of course picked up on it, because your tip is involved, not because you have any inherent integrity!!! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Making children look there best.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Putting four of your best effort in giving children and awesome haircut, while dealing with a parent who will not allow you to do your job by standing in the way of the service, you’re trying to provide, then to top it off being paid in amount of money there is not equivalent to the type of service that you are providing sucks .

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was not the best culture and environment for me.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hair cuts, cleaning, screaming children, parents who get in the way of the service you’re trying to provide because they’re trying to console their children to prevent them from crying. I always say wait until the child is comfortable to receive a haircut so everyone is happy.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Everyone here makes you feel like family. The staff and owner care about everyone who walks into work and is always making sure we are taken care of. As a person who has hopped from job to job, I’m happy to say I finally found a job I can say I love going to! The owner is amazing! She pushes all of her staff to go over and beyond. As a person who started working here at a young age and was just confused about what I wanted to do with my life career-wise. The owner and manager saw potential in me and pushed me to go for my dreams and proceed to be an entrepreneur and not give up. As I continue to work as a receptionist here I get to still follow my dreams but still have a work-family who loves to watch everyone grow in the business.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing the staff and kids make everything fun here.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy but busy is good!

A typical day at Pigtails & Crewcuts will keep you on your toes greeting families and going through the process of getting them signed in, letting them know how long the wait will be, showing them where to wait and things to do to keep the kids occupied, assisting each other with challenging cuts, cleaning, entering customer information, helping with retail products, and checking them out. The hardest part of the job is when there are children who do not like to get haircuts and doing your best to get it done without completely traumatizing the child or other guests in the salon. If you love kids and working with families, at the end of the day you will have a great sense of fulfillment and accomplishment knowing that your customers had a fun overall experience.

A reception then new stylist was being paid just a dollar less than someone with 8.5 years experience. Someone who brought multiple clients over, higher requested stylist. Then paid another stylist more to go 15 minute intervals instead of 20, I stayed at 20. Quality over quantity. However I still preformed more haircuts than the stylist at 15 minutes. No way shape or form did they want to pay me more. They stated they are about being equal but not everyone is at equal levels. You have to pay accordingly! No reception/new stylist should make what an experience stylist does. That’s a slap in the face. But they can keep their almost all newer staff and ones who can only preform boys cuts or just girls cut. That’s another thing. To pay a stylist near the same but can’t preform ALL haircuts. They are a joke. 

I used to love my job, as I had been there for years…until the new management took over. They do not care about you at all. In the week I worked under this new management, I was talked down to, disrespected, overworked, and treated like a child. They do not care about you, your mental/physical health, or your safety, they only want to make a profit. They cut so many “unnecessary” costs like washing the capes after each client, giving multiple suckers to a child to keep them happy, having extra help around the salon, etc. The new owners do not understand how stressful of an environment this is and are not properly accommodating their employees. I never once said I outright hated my job, until they took over. I would kindly advise all to stay away; no job is worth your mental health, physical safety, or your previous schedule. 

This was the best job I had and I really enjoyed managing the salon and making friends with my fellow co workers. However, it was sold to new owners. Upon their arrival they talked about minor changes only to change everything about the job without even a blink of an eye. Only profit based thinking. It’s their way or no way. They do not care about honesty, a safe work environment, or quality of service for customers. Before you work here make sure you check with the stylists who currently work there. They do not uphold  the pigtails and Crewcuts core values. 
1. Work with integrity and respect 
2.Build positive relationships
3. Be enthusiastic and compassionate 
4.Deliver consistent quality 
5. Give back to your community 

I’ve worked for Pigtails & Crewcuts (Orlando) for over three years. Often times, working in the hair industry can interfere with the work/home  balance. I can confidently say, the owner and GM care a lot about home/work balance and 95% of the time will give you whatever time you requests off or make adjustments to the schedule as best as possible. Any concerns you have are quickly addressed and resolved. While the job can be occasionally stressful, it truly helps when you have an amazing staff and management in your corner to get through the tough times. I’m glad to call the pigtails crew FAMILY!
