Pros

not recommended at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you don't want to work here a the the dry bar,humiliation,disrespect,racism,favoritism......

Cons

stylist is the one who bring them a business but they treat them with no respect,specially the managers you email them for information about the job you never get an answer,what kind of job is this that you have to go for training over a month and get stressed out wether you get a model or not, most high end professional salons you bring a model only once.they are racist if you are not pretty or white just don't thing you will be treated fairly,they will treat you like animals.managers they don't do nothing just set in the back room ant talk on the phone all day.what kind of business is this that managers and assistant manager have to bring their dog to the salon,some customers are allergic to dogs,i had a model who was surprised about the dog being there.

Pros

Customer Service, depending on your stylist.

Cons

Being a Hair Stylist at the dry bar is the worst job you can ever have. The hair stylist is the one who brings in the income but is paid the least at the shop. Stylist always have to help out, regardless of what it is. IT IS NOT WORTH WORKING AT DRY BAR!!! The slowest company EVER! Worst managers, they basically do not do anything!!!

Pros

Meeting stylists from all over the country. The majority of your colleagues are great to work with although even they become bitter and disgruntled after the harsh treatment. Clients are nice.

Cons

Management, management, management. Dumb & dumber would be a perfect analysis for the manager and assistant manager for the NYC location. Neither has experience, one isn't even in the hair/cosmetology field at all. How can you teach what you don't know? The pay is $8.40 an hour, there are NEVER any breaks scheduled for the stylists and no pay raises in sight. Just a bunch of promises that are never kept. The other reviewers are 110% accurate in their descriptions of life at Drybar. The midtown location that I am at is filthy, brushes are NEVER properly sanitized and when they are finally cleaned, their interpretation of cleaning is combing the existing hair out of the brushes, it's done right next to the opened ice maker machine....which we use to make clients drinks. Management is never around when needed and you cannot get a straight answer out of either one them to save your life, not in person and forget about email. They constantly talk down to you and never appreciate any hard work or effort. No microwaves or any kind of ovens available in break rooms so you must go outside for your meals but are never allowed a 30 minute break because of the constant overbooking of appointments. This is a classic example of an entrepreneur taking advantage of the down economy by trying to get rich off the backs of skilled workers. While drybar shops are being opened constantly all over the country, the employees are being mistreated and worked beyond reasonable means with low wages and no breaks. I've cut my schedule down significantly and see myself gone within the next month.
