Pros

Experience, client connections, doing hair.

Cons

Always and I mean ALWAYS over booking. Little to no consideration to parents last minute call outs. Pay is joke. Instead of the 15$ minimum wage it’s 11$ hr ( now 13$). They take a $2 tip credit from your gratuity in order to compensate for the $2 they don’t want to pay. Have to through hoops for any type of accommodation. And best believe they will fight you to hell and back not to provide you with unemployment. The moment you walk in there are clics. Gossip, jealousy, under appreciated, under payed, not valued, treated as the help, barely work with you to find a mutually beneficial work/life balance. Always sent home early if slow. Don’t I repeat DO NOT speak about your business, personal or otherwise. When I started it was a great place to work at with amazingly awesome coworkers. Great management and encouragement to better your skills. Stylist supported and encouraged each other’s work and to better themselves. It was amazing. Now 90% of staff is catty, throw each other under bus, speak badly behind everyone’s back, silently hostile, steal each other’s requested clients, untrustworthy.

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)!
