So I work at a corporate lash salon, I’ve been here for over a year and I keep messing up on lash lifts. I’m honestly so frustrated at this point because I’ll have good lash lifts one week then the next people are complaining and asking for redos or their money back and it feels like it is just me.
It’s so frustrating bc I was barley taught the steps of a lift I was just given a paper of steps to follow and I’m sure I’m being talked about that I’ve had so many complaints..
And on the other hand I’m so checked out from this job that I don’t even care.
I’m pretty sure the problem is that I’m using too much adhesive to get the lashes to stay down but when I don’t, most of the time the lashes don’t stay down.
My manager never checks in on me or helps me when there’s a problem I’m just supposed to figure it out.
Which I’m already extremely burnt out working 10 hours a day for 8 days straight and driving 2 hours a day.
The only reason I’m still here is because the additional income I’m making to what my husband makes.
Idk I’m just venting bc I feel like quitting rn would be very irresponsible but my heart just isn’t in it. I’m making 30% of everything I do and I have to deal with super rude clients all the time with no help.
It’s embarrassing that this keeps happening but at the same time I don’t care to improve bc it’s all just taking so much of my energy.

Has anyone ever sued a salon?

Currently I’m working at a corporate salon and it’s been a horrible experience.
I’ve been here for over a year and somehow am still pushing through mainly because I feel stuck.
But the unpaid hours, no overtime pay, no benefits, rude clients, lack of communication from management, LONG hours. Is too much for me and it does not feel like a good fit and hasn’t.. since I started.
I quickly found out I would get treated weird if I asked for time off (I have 2 kids and I can’t be at work 10 hours a day for 8 days straight realistically every single month)
I also felt like it was wrong to leave and go somewhere even if I didn’t have clients. I’m a w-2 employee but I only get paid when I have a client. I have asked chat gpt if I have a case and I do. I have worked over 40 hours in a work week most months and did not get compensation as well as not getting paid for the long hours I have sat at work.
I don’t have a plan to quit soon because I don’t know how else I’m going to make money but I’m extremely burnt out and checked out from this job that I’m just waiting for something to happen at this point to where I get fired or feel comfortable enough to quit. I just want to know if anyone has sued a salon you’ve worked at and it was successful and how long the process was.
