Pros

Great for Students who just got there license.They train with pay. Offer hourly pay and tips. Commission earned from products sold. Good to master styling experience. Great for Second job. Co workers and Customers are friendly. fun environment. If you just want to style this is for you!

Cons

It limits your other skills of a cosmetologist, you do nothing but blow dry and style. You have to work fast to build up check, ( More people you service more tips!) Like all Companies Selling is often encouraged. Hourly Rate is to low to compensate for hard work that comes with job. Management is questionable because of immature staffing. Not considerate to employee emergencies, health issues and weather emergencies. Not good for long term employment unless you are on management team.

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)!
