Pros

There really isn't any pros to working at this place except for once in a blue moon getting an awesome client, otherwise you are just slaving away for minimum wage making somebody else rich.

Cons

Back to back blowdrys with no break, inexperienced managers who openly gossip about all their staff ,horrible products, business completely run off of hard working stylists who are paid worse than mcdonalds workers. If you think this is a good move for your career as a hairstylist just graduating beauty school please think again, do yourself a favor and get your foot in the door at a real salon being an assistant instead of this dead end place. 8.50 and hour is not worth the stress, potentially aching back and losing your passion for doing hair when you realize you could be pocketing the $40.00 they charge for a blowout when you get out there and build your own clientele

Pros

It’s super fun and high energy! I absolutely love Olivia-the skills and standards she sets are high and encourages us to be our the best version of ourselves. She trains with passion and wants to see us succeed as individuals in our own capacity . Behind every great woman there a heart of gold and that’s our Olivia- Chase is an amazing educator with lots of cool tips and tricks for us and is a total sweetheart but slays hair like a boss. I look up to them and I have grown tremendously!

Cons

If you don’t like to make yourself look presentable or like to be a clean person this isn’t the place for you . High standards don’t come easy and without hard work ! I’m not a lazy person or a negative person anymore because I’ve learned the heart and soul values through Drybar (Olivia and Chase) I’m a confident and love more because I open myself to learning new things from the best of the best! I think I’m coming back soon lol

Pros

Good experience to be in the beauty industry if you don't do hair, Good way to network with the community as well

Cons

A little disorganized at time, I think the corporate policies were also a little too script sometimes whnen it came to the way clients had to be charged
