Pros

none. none at all. it’s horrible.

Cons

This company is a walking labor violation. No matter the location or franchise. It is a sweat shop. My nervous system is a wreck due to the psychological stress and conditions drybar puts you through. you are overworked and severely underpaid and expected to do the work of management who are useless and who never actually do their jobs despite making 3x your salary. There are a million callouts, no mandatory breaks, constant computer and system issues because drybar is so broke and money hungry they give us used computers from 2016, deep cleaning the whole salon is required despite working a full day, double booked clients, inventory issues, I could go on. But you are expected to handle all of it and the issues that come along with it… with zero help from leadership and management. I’ve seen stylists go out on the floor with medical emergencies due to them being overworked and sick leave that was excused by a doctors note being denied and written up by management. And don’t even get me started on how entitled and despicable the clients are. Grown woman who are disrespectful, rude and acting like it’s their first day on earth and have no shame in screaming at teenagers and young women trying to do their jobs and fixing issues that are outside of our control. Even though they berated us constantly, they were never banned from the salon. This company does not see you as a human being. Only a robot who makes money for the greedy owners who couldn’t care less about our existence, yet we were the ones who made their business possible. After working here, I have many health issues both physically and psychologically. Save yourself and work somewhere else!

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
