Pros

- Themed product launch days and knowledge. - Fun work contests for prizes and snacks provided sometimes. - Free blowdry's on of some weekdays and product discounts. - Flexible time off.

Cons

- Lack of professional management. - No enforcement of shop cleaning and product stocking duties. - Dirty kept shops with hair everywhere, very against TDLR. - High School drama behavior from coworkers and upper management. - Black or POC stylists always getting put with highly textured hair clients on purpose, even when it should be a rotation system. - Rude front desk workers turning guests away when books are full. - No set aside break time unless requested days ahead of time for any shifts. - Not enough advanced training. - Not much room for growth in company. - Pay cap and not enough raises for long term workers or full time workers.

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)!
