Pros

I really enjoyed working at Drybar, it was a fun and fast-paced job and the staff really felt like a family. We also had a lot of freedom with what we wore, and you have the ability to pick up shifts at any of the nearby locations which was nice. We also got free blowouts and a decent discount on products.

Cons

Two things that made the job kind of miserable sometimes were the mean clients and the fact that we weren't allowed to ask for days off. Although I met some amazing clients, I met some of the nastiest, rudest people I have ever met in my life working here. I was spit on at least twice and it wasn't rare for me to be yelled at and called names at least once per shift. As for the shifts, once you were given your permanent schedule, it was basically set in stone. The only way we could get days off was by getting them covered ourselves, even if it was months in advance that we were asking for the day off. We would have to send emails to all the Drybar bartenders in our area asking if they could pick up our shift, and we always had to offer money too. Even after offering the money it was still rare for me to get shifts covered so I often had to cancel plans and trips anyway because no one would cover my shift.

Pros

A Leadership team that is always supportive - Trust me, you think they wouldn't be flexible because of how high of demand they are.. but they ARE. So grateful to have found a place right out of school. I also am making more than I did at my restaurant serving. The consistency of training and gaining my skill since I'm new out of Cosmetology school, I greatly appreciate the help and support.

Cons

June is a little more mellow.. Not as many clients like the typical 8-10 per day.

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)!
