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)!

Pros

can be a fun community

Cons

managers were always on vacation, meanwhile 95% of the time I would request a day off I'd get denied because "too many stylists were off already off" making it impossible to take any time off. (Of course no one wants to cover your shifts...) managers making it so you're unable to change your schedule, the low pay, the constant pain you're in from doing blowouts all day. they treat you as a slave. if you say no they don't care. I got in a car accident and tried to call out and was told to I had come in. Insane.
