Pros

Great products but that's about where it ends .. Setups of the salons waste space although they do look nice!

Cons

They have horrible labor saving tactics. You'll be asked to take a longer period during lulls which is unpaid so they can save $. You will be asked to leave early if it's slow and also told not to come in an hour and a half before your shift. I'm not sure of the legality of any of this.. There is Zero incentive to work harder except if you get good ratings you get $1 extra or if you want to move on to management so you can be extremely underpaid. Treatments you do that cost clients an extra $10 you get $1. Very labor intensive for zero recognition or reward.

Pros

The BEST thing about being employed as the hairstylist is that you do not have to worry about bringing/having a “BOOK” ; like in some cases where hair salons would prefer a new stylist to have a clientele base upon starting! Drybar hairstylist can easily build a “Booked & Busy” client based request if you follow these 3 tips: •SPEED (45min tops for the whole process)! •CONSISTENCY (Client consultation, Shampooing, Styling, ReBook)! •SCHEDULE ( wether you Full/Part time); Time Management is the key to maintaining your daily/weekly/monthly schedule!

Cons

Drybar is NOT your average corporate salon, they DO NOT like for hairdressers to sit around riding their CLOCK w/o nothing to do, they will have you clock out for the rest of your shift and send you home (ex.; if your shift is from 12pm-6pm and the salon slowdown around 2:15pm ( if you NOT cleaning, sweeping, restocking) they will send you home); literally, just putting you at 2hrs 15min for the day!! Highly played FAVORITISM (Depending on your “Home Salon” from District, manager to Salon manager ), *YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A VALID REASON * ( JEALOUSY or HATING either or both are very UNPROFESSIONAL in the workplace)!
