Beauty workers often face several labor injustices, including low pay, lack of benefits, and poor working conditions. Many salons and beauty establishments bypass labor laws to avoid providing benefits such as health insurance, sick leave, or paid time off to their employees. This often leads to a lack of job security and financial instability.
Beauty workers often work long hours, including weekends and holidays, with no overtime pay. They are also often required to purchase their own supplies, which can be costly. In some cases, salons may charge beauty workers a fee to rent a chair or booth, reducing their earnings even further.
