Pros

If you are lucky your coworkers are awesome. Mine were the best. I love them all!

Cons

Let's see sooo much to say here: Unprofessional environment Shifts would sometimes get cut low pay-you will need more than one job even if you are FULL TIME Unorganized Sometimes you get a break that can last up to a couple hours or maybe you won't get one at all? Barely any continuing education The products are not that great There is NO ventilation which has got to be illegal! You are inhaling in carcinogens all day. Prepare for sneezing and eyes to water on occasion. Music list is repetitive as with the movies being played. doesnt seem like a big until you have worked there 2 years and it is the SAME BS! Also... RAISES? lol. I got .25 raise I was there 2 years. I had high retention and yet somehow... This place is pretty awful. I would never recommend to anyone to work there. I never did while I was there. Now that I am not... I wanted EVERYONE to see this place is shady and greedy. They do not pay enough to their stylists. That is probably the biggest thing. You stand on your feet all day, wrecking your back, shoulders, wrists, burning fingers... FOR BARELY ANYTHING. tips help but NOT enough.

Pros

A Leadership team that is always supportive - Trust me, you think they wouldn't be flexible because of how high of demand they are.. but they ARE. So grateful to have found a place right out of school. I also am making more than I did at my restaurant serving. The consistency of training and gaining my skill since I'm new out of Cosmetology school, I greatly appreciate the help and support.

Cons

June is a little more mellow.. Not as many clients like the typical 8-10 per day.

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)!
