Pros

Drybar is such a fun environment, I got along with my coworkers 98 percent of the time. They teach you their technique and it’s pretty awesome, their hot tools and products are pretty good. The salon decor, environment and concept itself is well thought out and meticoulsy planned. Drybar has built a pretty good reputation for themselves so the clientele is steady. You get to meet a lot of people so come to work pretty and they only build DRYBAR’s in affluent neighborhoods so that could be a pro or con for you but a great networking opportunity . Worked here during college while taking 18 plus hours they were flexible with my schedule. My managers at drybar river oaks were amazing and understanding DRYBAR’s staff upper management is pretty good as well. Fun work meetings usually food catered.

Cons

You may be scheduled to work a certain time but if it’s not busy they will tell you to stay home, or if you arrive and it’s not busy they will not let you clock in. If you have actual bills and responsibilities this should be temporary or in conjunction with another job. this is decent play money but not reliable and you are under paid. Better,sturdier brushes for the stylist would also be awesome

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)!
