Terrible place with no communication

Pros

Weekly pay, free blowouts and 50% off on DryBar tools and products

Cons

Reaching out to HR and Payroll will get you ignored. They will, in turn, reach out to management instead of speaking to the person reaching out to them. The same lack of communication is also within your salon. You're constantly asking questions and sending emails that never receive answers, getting berated by miserable customers who don't know what they want so of course they can't explain what they don't know. They act as though you've chopped off all of their hair and bleached it to a crisp all over a blowout. The pay is trash and tips can go either way. If you do get tipped, most of the time your tips are added via card since the store is cashless. Not worth the headache or hassle.

Pros

I love working at Drybar, I think it's a great environment to be in, and you get to focus on one thing and do what you love. I think this is a great place for people who just got out of school because it helps you become a master at styling while also building a clientele and learning how to interact with clients. The place is beautiful which helps make the experience even better. Depending on your shop, the other employees can also make or break your experience. I think this is a good place to work even if for a day a week along with your other salon job.

Cons

The pay is not very good for all the work that you do. On busy days you literally get handed clients back to back with no breaks in between, and a lot of the time the shop is running behind so the appointment time of the ticket you get handed has already past. On busy days I recommend bringing snacks with you or lunch so you can sneak something in between clients. The tips can be great sometimes but some people can give you just $5 for a blowout that took so much effort from you, but some can give you $15 or $25. You also have to make sure you are part of the experience for them,don't just do their hair, converse with them, so they want to come back to you.
