Pros

I was lucky enough to work with some fun, talented and awesome stylist. That is the only positive thing I can say about the company.

Cons

Management is beyond unprofessional and totally unqualified. You will be treated like you work in a sweatshop and be paid the same amount you would make at a mcdonalds. Because they only charge $40 a blowout, expect to only make between $5-$8 in tips. It is a corporation that truly does not care for their employees. They will say they love to hear feedback and are there to help, but be careful, if you think by reaching out to them will help your work environment, you are mistaken. Corporate makes no effort to help. You will not be given a raise no matter how long you are with the company. The only way you will move up in the company is if you are best friends with a manager. Management is a complete joke.They will not respond to your phone calls or text messages or emails. She shows up an hour and half late to open up the shop and will not take the blame, she will blame it on a receptionist that was not even scheduled to work that day. If they are receiving complaints about the shop or about them, be prepared to be blamed for that.

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
