Pros

Your fellow stylists are really awsome

Cons

-Literally work you like a horse, they do not care what so ever if you take a break, even if you are working a 12 hour shift!!! Im pretty sure thats illegal by the way. -They always have more books open then stylist, if only 3 stylists are working they will add 5 more ghost stylists, so basically no matter what the salon is running behind, which means if your fast you have the pleasure of dealing with all the clients who have been waiting for over an hour! sounds great right? -The shop educator does nothing but put down the team and tell you what a bad job your doing (even if you've been with the company for months) never a good job, or that looks great. its always can you go faster, your taking too long. -the manager is not even professional, i mean who brings in their kids to work? i didnt even know you could do that!!!! -oh and how can i forget no raises lol -they basically will promote anyone into a trainer or manager because NO ONE wants to take they position who has been there long to see the madness. so all the managers have been with the company for a total of five minutes. -constant turn over too overall this company is just a money hungry pit who abuses there stylists to make money. the pay is extremely low for the work you do and they have no concern if your back hurts, your sick or even throwing up they will make you work non stop.

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)!
