Pros

Few friends I made but most of them are not even there anymore you see new faces almost every week it's that bad!

Cons

So funny how the positive reviews are from the corporate or the management! The Stylists are the ones making you money! Without them this company is nothing! Where do I start? -No scheduled breaks, they make you sign a waiver at hiring process to give up your break on a six hour shift, they are constantly overbooked and understaffed, turnover is very high! Like all the other staff said it's a blow dry sweat shop! Do not waste your hard earned cosmetology license by working here! -The management tolerates clients who are rude to stylists/bartenders! What's worse? They complain, you get a bad rating on that stupid "rate your blowout" and they give free blowout to that client, a lot of people are trying to get freebies! Retail stores and restaurants kicks out and even ban bad customers, why do drybar do the opposite? because all they care about is the money. Oh and those reviews that is being responded by the "Owner" on Yelp? only idiots would think it's the owner responding. Nobody is tarnishing this company's image but the company itself. Why don't you spend a day as a Stylist in one of the shops?

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
