Pros

Weekly pay, free blowouts and 50% off on DryBar tools and products

Cons

Reaching out to HR and Payroll will get you ignored. They will, in turn, reach out to management instead of speaking to the person reaching out to them. The same lack of communication is also within your salon. You're constantly asking questions and sending emails that never receive answers, getting berated by miserable customers who don't know what they want so of course they can't explain what they don't know. They act as though you've chopped off all of their hair and bleached it to a crisp all over a blowout. The pay is trash and tips can go either way. If you do get tipped, most of the time your tips are added via card since the store is cashless. Not worth the headache or hassle.

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)!
