Pros

There are no pros working for this company!

Cons

Not only are you expected to work 24/7 for this company. As an area manager you are expected to work in shop each day for your locations taking back to back clients in order to hit the companies impossible labor goals. This company’s upper management team is extremely hostile. Many employees have reported this unprofessional treatment to HR numerous times and nothing is done. Hr forwards all complaints directly to the supervisor for them to repeatedly retaliate against you until you resign. The lack of support and extreme levels of high stress Regent allows to continue is absolutely insane. Drybar used to be an amazing consort to work for. If you are looking for a company that cares about its employees and clients I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND WORKING FOR ANY CORPORATE LOCATION UNDER BEAUTY INTERNATIONAL!

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)!
