The inside is beautiful and the idea and concept are genius. The products they carry are exclusive and high end. The staff was extremely friendly. The salon/spa are is slow and empty. I was extremely excited to be invited to do a series of interviews. They seem well organized and selective about who they were interested in hiring. The first two interviews went smooth, the managers welcoming and comforting. My third interview, I left with my jaw on the floor. I met with the owner, a woman, who was cold and uninviting. Right off the bat she asked me why I had worked at so many salons. Three? In a thirteen year career she thinks three salons are a lot? Then proceeded to tell me she has had a revolving door. She asked me why I moved back. I said I have a two year old daughter and that I wanted to be closer to family. She asked where my husband was from and since he is from Chicago she seemed less interested in speaking with me. She then asked if I wanted to have more children. Is that even a legal question? Can I not have more children and work? She proceeded to tell me that being a mom was not a 24 hour a day job. Um? Yes, actually it is. After her rude and disrespectful comment she continued to call people lazy who do not work 5 days a week. Wow. Ok. Then asked me if I would have to pick my daughter up from daycare. The hours on the salon doors say they close at 5 and 3. However they are open until 8. She also told me that they don't need the spa and salon. That they plastic surgeons make enough money. So she doesn't care if they don't fill the chairs at the salon. I was insulted and offended by the end of the interview. To make the entire interview more uncomfortable the comment that she continued to say over and over is that I could go work at lady janes or other chain salons. I am looking for a career as well as being a mother. I can do both. Because I do not want nor can I work 8-8, I am lazy?? This lady needs to get a clue. Firstly, I am a mother, and a great mother with an amazing little girl. I am far from lazy. I will find a career at a salon and still be an amazing mother and hair stylist and will grow with a company who lets me do both. I think the best comment of the interview was when I asked why a male model was asked to be brought in. The answer was the men's hair is harder, which, I actually agree with, but then proceeded to say that most women have long hair and that if a stylist messes it up its easier to hide. My personal experience and advice, do not get your hair cut here because they believe that if you are a woman you can hide mistakes and if you wish to work here you better not have a family or a life besides this salon that has a reputation "above and beyond all the rest". Lady, check your yelp reviews and the revolving door that you say you have had the past three years, stylist talk.
