Pros

Great first job for new stylists. If you are still learning this is a great place to make mistakes because they really dont care what anyone looks like they just want them in and out fast.

Cons

Quantity over quality mentality. It is expected to service as many people as quickly as possible, rather than creating a genuine client experience. Was misled on how much money I would actually be making. They justify low hourly wages saying you will make your money in tips, which is not always the case (especially with groupon type promotions). When instead they should give stylists a percentage of the blowout/styling services they provide as well as tips.

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)!
