Pros

-Tips can be good, especially around the holidays. -I work with some truly amazing and supportive people who make the job enjoyable.

Cons

-Ever since Ali Webb sold the company, the quality of management and operations has gone downhill. -Despite being hired as a full-time stylist for 40 hours a week, hours have been severely cut, and I’m now lucky to get 30 hours. -There’s no front desk staff, so we’re expected to check clients in and out, sell products, and still perform our styling duties. -The franchise owner has not provided adequate product stock or back bar items, leaving us unable to meet sales goals or client expectations. -Unfortunately, they are so cheap they avoid paying overtime, and what’s worse, they force us to take lunch breaks even when we work less than 5–6 hours a day, which feels like an illegal way to save on labor costs. -The company doesn’t offer health insurance, which is especially disappointing for a role with inconsistent hours.

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
