Pros
- Discounted services - You can be a model for trainees (free services)
Cons
- No possibility to get a raise - No career path growth opportunities - High turnover - Unprofessional staff which leads to having to deal with callouts (calling clients to cancel their appointments— sometimes up to 10+) - Not a proper salon, only one computer to be used between 3 receptionists causing huge lines while trying to book appointments for clients in person and on the phone - 3 booking systems are required, so you are constantly going back and forth. It’s hard to learn those first few months - Drybar is owned by Nordstrom, so clients are upset that we don’t follow Drybar norms (we can’t take gift cards, offer memberships, no free prosecco etc.) - Very low pay, and no commission. But you are expected to sell product and take returns.
