Drybar reviews

Let me start by saying this isn't a "angry man gets fired rant" this is a "how can you be so inconsiderate?!" For the first few months I worked at Drybar I thought wow how cool it will be to work at a salon that's a "come as you are, we are family kind of place" after being here for over a year I realized once your there they work you like a dog and complain more then encourage you. There were time we went without a brake or we couldn't take 5 min before taking our next client even I a day that was super busy. I'm talking back to back client, you think they would give people who have children at home time to check in for 5 min or return a text. Nope! Don't get me wrong I completely understand good customer service, and going above and beyond. But how far do you go when your staff suffers. Now we open at 7am it's cool for early birds but what if your on your way to work and revive a text at 6 that you don't need to come in till 9. Now you wake up at 5am or maybe later depending on where your coming from but the point is "thanks for the late notice!" I'm only traveling a half hour to 40 min to get to work on time. How inconsiderate and then have the nerve to tell me "well you still can't clock in." "Oh it's only a couple hours" are you kidding me?! Now let's talk about working now that you waited to clock in for a couple hours. Blowouts are $40 regardless of length and style, cool right! So for all the people reading this to get your hair done, JACKPOT! Not only are you paying nothing for a good style and ambiance but you can possibly (more then likely) get a free blowout. All you have to do is complain, something as simple as my part is on the wrong side or my water came late. Now as a stylist not only did your client receive a free blowout but they also have gotten another free service just so they can come back. Now what if everything went well and you did an updo that cost around $80 the stylist gets $8, oh you sold product nice! What's 10% of $35? I think you get the point. Let's not mention there are a few checks where your money is messed up because they forgot to add commission or some of your hours you worked that week. Oh your working on a holiday yea wait next year for that paid time. I can go on but I think I have said enough. So If you want to work for a place that just takes care of customer service but neglects the staff well Drybar is just the place for you!..

Poor management Superly underpaid Blamed for everything long wait till your break no raises lots of hard work for low slave pay I have only been working here for a couple of months and i must say this is the worst job i have ever had. It is not just me either, a lot of my co workers say the same thing we are majorly UNDER PAID. Right now i am a bartender (receptionist ) and my job title should be supervisor or manager. We do everything!!! the "managers" just sit upstairs in their little coop and text on their phones, email, eat whenever the hell they want, relax while I whose a receptionist is checking in clients while its busy, putting stylist on their lunches, taking payments, getting clients drinks, oh they want you to talk to clients too! half the time clients don't even want to talk they want to be left alone but they want us to keep bugging them! Also we will open the shop super early in the morning and "managers" whom are paid way more than us don't come in the shop till noon or 1 pm after their well rested and they also leave before we close the shop. oh by the way receptionist are paid $10 an hour for working as managers. Closing shift you have to clean everything, inventory, deposit the cash drawer, count money which is a freaking headache. Allie is the founder and i must say while she's swimming in her 40 million dollar business she better wake up pronto because if you do not start treating your employers with respect and paying your stylist $8.50 YOUR BUSINESS WONT DO WELL!.. When she was doing blow outs at peoples homes I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate working all day for $8.50. if you keep treating your workers bad your business will flop! Also they can be a little racist as well! sometimes stylist will talk about not wanting to do african american hair! very disrespectful to say. Dry bar has a lot of different races that come into this business and seeing only white faces in the look book can be intimidating. be diverse! this place wants to be all high end and only open shops in rich areas but are paying their workers off of Mc donalds salary. AGAIN IF YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF AND WORK ANOTHER JOB I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY.
