Pros

You meet excellent stylists from all walks of life.

Cons

The management team and up are racist, inauthentic, and selfish. They want you to kill people with kindness... aka the clients, and give them what they want regardless of how it affects the entire team. They try to brainwash you into believing this place is a "Happy" place. It is like the movie 'Pleasantville,' inauthentic, not reality, and not okay. They hire new stylists from beauty schools because they have no career experience. They pay extremely low and sympathize with you. Then state selling more add-ons and products to raise your check during the slow season. Yet they continue to cut hours, making you believe it is your fault for having low paychecks. Absolutely trash. They may have ratings for being diverse when they only hire diverse people as stylists, so they can state they are mixed. If you look at the management team, they are all of one color and one color only. This company is a joke and needs to be stopped. It's 2023; wake up.

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)!
