Pros

Depending on location you meet great people

Cons

Pay is entirely too low for any adult in NYC paying their own rent. I made more money a week working summer youth then I did at DryBar. I was there for almost 3 years and not once have they given their stylist a raise. They have no respect for their stylist. I understand in the service world the customer is always right but I shouldn't have to be belittled and bad talked by someone just because I am providing a service for them. They cut hours left and right as a FULL TIME employees I shouldn't be working 15-20 hours a week when I am scheduled to work 35-38 hours a week. That's is completely unacceptable. They have no sense of fairness either favoritism is a MAJOR problem within this company. I've seen so many people get promoted simply because they're a favorite of the regional manager or of the lead master stylist and it's not a secret these people aren't 100% qualified for these promotions but they don't care if you're not "bleeding yellow" then you will never make it up the ladder.

Pros

-Great opportunities -Can work on a temporary license -Plenty of flexibility in scheduling -Ability to really build finishing skills, as well as increase retail sales experience -Dress code is super easy -A really fun environment! -Management is good about getting in the trenches and helping the shop run. -Snacks in the breakroom. Never underestimate the power of snacks.

Cons

-At times it is frustrating having your shift cut, but this happens at almost any service gig. -The hourly pay isn't that great, to really make money you have to sell products, upsell Add on services, and hope for overtime and heavy tippers. -No Assistants to shampoo clients or clean the shop; Its all up to stylists/management

Pros

Great products but that's about where it ends .. Setups of the salons waste space although they do look nice!

Cons

They have horrible labor saving tactics. You'll be asked to take a longer period during lulls which is unpaid so they can save $. You will be asked to leave early if it's slow and also told not to come in an hour and a half before your shift. I'm not sure of the legality of any of this.. There is Zero incentive to work harder except if you get good ratings you get $1 extra or if you want to move on to management so you can be extremely underpaid. Treatments you do that cost clients an extra $10 you get $1. Very labor intensive for zero recognition or reward.
