Pros

Met some great people, but that is not enough. There are too many horrible things to list, but basically this company wants you to work like a slave without fair compensation. The people who fancy themselves authority figures are morons.

Cons

This is a horrible company to work for. If you went to school and have a license, this job is beneath you. You will make more money at SuperCuts. The managers know that this is as far as they will ever go in life, so their way of feeling accomplished is by talking down to and mistreating staff, or commissioning one of their incompetent receptionists to do so on their behalf. Here's a tip: by mistreating the stylists, you are biting the hand that feeds you, because the work we do with our hands is what actually brings in the money. No matter how many fake corporate drones you have to write reviews about what a "wonderful" company this is, word has gotten out. The majority of your employees hate you. The blow-dry bar trend may not be dead yet, but truly talented people will not put up with the crap you guys offer, and your turnover will remain high. In your recruiting propaganda you claim to want to be like Nordstrom, well here is another tip: Nordstrom not only rolls out the red carpet for their customers, they are amazing toward their staff. In any customer service environment, happy service providers deliver great service. Not to mention Nordstrom actually pays their employees a fair wage. I'll have a good laugh when I hear about the first wave of lawsuits against this awful company.

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
