Pros

The other stylist you meet are super great people

Cons

management doesn't care about their staff at all, you can do them a favor and work a double shift and they will still try to not give you a break. The manager brings her kids into work all the time which is so un professional. The company doesn't do raises no matter how long you've been with the company. You get bonuses based on your reviews, it literally takes one person to complain to not get your bonus. Even if it's a complaint about waiting too long (because drybar always over books, the salon has 12 chairs and they hAve 17 chairs open to book) this also means your tips drop down a lot and if your fast you always get the clients who have been sitting for an hour. They pay you soo poorly from what they expect. I mean thirty minute blowouts on highly textured long hair? Really? All they care about is making money, not to mention that the management team bonuses from all the hard work you do. Stylist get nothing for all the work they put in.

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)!
