Pros

none. none at all. it’s horrible.

Cons

This company is a walking labor violation. No matter the location or franchise. It is a sweat shop. My nervous system is a wreck due to the psychological stress and conditions drybar puts you through. you are overworked and severely underpaid and expected to do the work of management who are useless and who never actually do their jobs despite making 3x your salary. There are a million callouts, no mandatory breaks, constant computer and system issues because drybar is so broke and money hungry they give us used computers from 2016, deep cleaning the whole salon is required despite working a full day, double booked clients, inventory issues, I could go on. But you are expected to handle all of it and the issues that come along with it… with zero help from leadership and management. I’ve seen stylists go out on the floor with medical emergencies due to them being overworked and sick leave that was excused by a doctors note being denied and written up by management. And don’t even get me started on how entitled and despicable the clients are. Grown woman who are disrespectful, rude and acting like it’s their first day on earth and have no shame in screaming at teenagers and young women trying to do their jobs and fixing issues that are outside of our control. Even though they berated us constantly, they were never banned from the salon. This company does not see you as a human being. Only a robot who makes money for the greedy owners who couldn’t care less about our existence, yet we were the ones who made their business possible. After working here, I have many health issues both physically and psychologically. Save yourself and work somewhere else!

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)!
