Pros

It's constantly busy, so not any downtime which is ideal with a salon setting. Esthetically pleasing environment to work in. Clients are usually great, its fun to talk to so many different people. They are growing so quickly, and it is genuinely exciting to work for a company with such a huge potential.

Cons

Stylists are not paid enough, and from my understanding we are paid less than the bartenders (receptionists). Because of how overbooked it is, there is a lot of physical pain that comes along with the job. No benefits, impossible to call in sick, so as a result everyone is either just getting sick/just getting over being sick.

Pros

The BEST thing about being employed as the hairstylist is that you do not have to worry about bringing/having a “BOOK” ; like in some cases where hair salons would prefer a new stylist to have a clientele base upon starting! Drybar hairstylist can easily build a “Booked & Busy” client based request if you follow these 3 tips: •SPEED (45min tops for the whole process)! •CONSISTENCY (Client consultation, Shampooing, Styling, ReBook)! •SCHEDULE ( wether you Full/Part time); Time Management is the key to maintaining your daily/weekly/monthly schedule!

Cons

Drybar is NOT your average corporate salon, they DO NOT like for hairdressers to sit around riding their CLOCK w/o nothing to do, they will have you clock out for the rest of your shift and send you home (ex.; if your shift is from 12pm-6pm and the salon slowdown around 2:15pm ( if you NOT cleaning, sweeping, restocking) they will send you home); literally, just putting you at 2hrs 15min for the day!! Highly played FAVORITISM (Depending on your “Home Salon” from District, manager to Salon manager ), *YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A VALID REASON * ( JEALOUSY or HATING either or both are very UNPROFESSIONAL in the workplace)!
