Pros

making great friends with fellow employees

Cons

1. owner is weirdly obsessed with your outside life and will make passive aggressive comments about hanging out with employees outside of work. 2. you will be expected to be on call 24/7, regardless of if its your day off, or you’re on vacation, or if its after hours. there is zero help, appreciation, work life balance, or care for you as a person at all. 3. there are no actual goals communicated with you but, if you don’t reach “a goal”, you are berated, humiliated during leadership meetings, and spoken to like you are a child. there is zero help with ideas on how to improve whatever goals are randomly set for that day (because what is important is constantly changing - but not communicated. you have to figure that out on your own via mind reading). honestly too many to list, you get the gist.

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)!
