Pros

Great money when its busy. Commission is competitive. You get to build your clientele for cut and color services in your salon.

Cons

Retaliation for asking for your breaks. Hostile management that talks down to you. Trainers that can barely do hair on their own. Higher ups push leadership to break labor laws up to and including changing hourly employees time clocks. Hourly Employees pressured into working off the clock. Entire staff instructed to not clock in on NYE 2016 and hours manually entered to avoid overtime. When you contact HR with any issues it takes months for them to act on claims. Harassment and retaliation happening daily.

Pros

It’s super fun and high energy! I absolutely love Olivia-the skills and standards she sets are high and encourages us to be our the best version of ourselves. She trains with passion and wants to see us succeed as individuals in our own capacity . Behind every great woman there a heart of gold and that’s our Olivia- Chase is an amazing educator with lots of cool tips and tricks for us and is a total sweetheart but slays hair like a boss. I look up to them and I have grown tremendously!

Cons

If you don’t like to make yourself look presentable or like to be a clean person this isn’t the place for you . High standards don’t come easy and without hard work ! I’m not a lazy person or a negative person anymore because I’ve learned the heart and soul values through Drybar (Olivia and Chase) I’m a confident and love more because I open myself to learning new things from the best of the best! I think I’m coming back soon lol

Pros

Good experience to be in the beauty industry if you don't do hair, Good way to network with the community as well

Cons

A little disorganized at time, I think the corporate policies were also a little too script sometimes whnen it came to the way clients had to be charged
