Pros

I was lucky enough to work with some fun, talented and awesome stylist. That is the only positive thing I can say about the company.

Cons

Management is beyond unprofessional and totally unqualified. You will be treated like you work in a sweatshop and be paid the same amount you would make at a mcdonalds. Because they only charge $40 a blowout, expect to only make between $5-$8 in tips. It is a corporation that truly does not care for their employees. They will say they love to hear feedback and are there to help, but be careful, if you think by reaching out to them will help your work environment, you are mistaken. Corporate makes no effort to help. You will not be given a raise no matter how long you are with the company. The only way you will move up in the company is if you are best friends with a manager. Management is a complete joke.They will not respond to your phone calls or text messages or emails. She shows up an hour and half late to open up the shop and will not take the blame, she will blame it on a receptionist that was not even scheduled to work that day. If they are receiving complaints about the shop or about them, be prepared to be blamed for that.

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)!
