Pros

I liked most of the stylists and the other front desk girls. Getting your hair done was a good perk, but the restrictions were so tight with when you could get one that there was rarely the opportunity.

Cons

Where do I even begin.... when I first started this job, I enjoyed it because of how fast paced it is and how many different tasks you need to juggle at the same time. It was very busy in the summer and during the holidays, however in the winter, my hours were drastically cut and I would only be working anywhere from 5-10 hours per week. The schedule was unpredictable and I was not told more than 24 hours ahead of time if I should or should not come in for my upcoming shift, so getting an additional part time job would have been difficult. As for the upper management, I have never seen a company run so unprofessionally. The managers and others at corporate are selfish and only care about numbers. They would rather have the store be an hour behind on clients then pay another stylist to come in to lighten everyone's load. This led to the stylists who were there to be overworked and without a break for their entire shifts. I fully understand the economy has been getting progressively worse over the past few years. The cost of supplies and products have gone up, which led to Drybar rightfully raising their prices. Cutting unnecessary costs is fine, but Drybar's desperation was truly disgusting at times. Nickel and diming people and refusing to give a discount for anything.

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)!
