Pros

I came to Drybar at a time in my career where I was looking to have a more flexible and opened schedule for freelance jobs. My manager Brandi, has always been very accommodating with my schedule! She always pushes us to be the best employees we can. Having a great leader really shows with the team that we have here in the lower east side. It’s always fun, positive, upbeat, with great team effort. Constantly having clients, and being encouraged to build a clientele is sometimes a hard find in this industry, yet Drybar pushes for you to better your future with this being sewed into the culture.

Cons

Opening shifts are very early, and closing shifts are very late. Heavily taxed on every tip. 45 minute appointment times isn’t always achievable with every type of hair.

Pros

A Leadership team that is always supportive - Trust me, you think they wouldn't be flexible because of how high of demand they are.. but they ARE. So grateful to have found a place right out of school. I also am making more than I did at my restaurant serving. The consistency of training and gaining my skill since I'm new out of Cosmetology school, I greatly appreciate the help and support.

Cons

June is a little more mellow.. Not as many clients like the typical 8-10 per day.

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)!
