Pros

flexible always busy tips are personally yours to keep free blowouts (some shops have certain days) 50% off product Grow in the hair artistry part of it many people complain about the back to back clients but we all knew how busy the job was going to be when we first decided to go to school for it. I best see it as experience and a time to learn. if you stick with the basic work and choose to not learn then you won't gain anything out of the job. although we may not have time to sit and learn from a shop educator, who says you can't get creative during and up do. many people are scared of up do's and steer clear away from them. yes, I understand we do have some clients who come in with wild (yet beautiful) ideas that we know required add on hair pieces. it's up to us to let them know what's realistic for their hair without those added bunches of extra pieces (unless they have those hair pieces).

Cons

back to back clients-- we all knew how busy the job of a cosmetologist would be when we started going to school for it. I'm not sure why people aRe surprised. the more clients, the better. people forget the good in it and tend to lay back on "not getting paid enough". yes, I admit the pay isn't great, but if you sit around and do the minimum that's required then you'll receive the minimum you can get. if you try extra hard to make someone hair look fabulous then that's a definite extra $10-$20 tip that you have the possibility to come to YOU every week or so.

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)!
