Pros

Free Blowouts Mostly asweome co-workers If you have no scruples, it’s a great place to work.

Cons

5 different general managers in less than 2 years. They discourage taking breaks by not offering them, giving you client after client, overbooking, not scheduling a break, and punishing you if you ask for one, it’s not abnormal to have 9-10 clients in a 6 hour shift. They’ve asked people to work off the clock. Frequent pay issues, checks are wrong, commission & tips missing, dishonest co-workers & managers steal cash & products, they have video evidence and corporate doesn’t do anything about it. If you point out problems to the wrong people (I.E. the people who should fix them) they find a way to suspend you, then never put you back on the schedule, so you can lose your job w/out being fired so DryBar doesn’t have to pay unemployment. Whoever is most desperate for the promotion will get it, b/c desperate people will break laws, treat people badly, and are easily manipulated. They push the stylists to sell their crappy products.

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
