Pros

If you are in between real salon jobs, this position keeps your styling skills up. Many of the stylists are very talented.

Cons

Staff is underpaid, management is disorganized, rude, and unqualified. Clients agree. Management only has retail experience and is basically ignorant to the world of cosmetology. They do not understand that they hurt their business be mistreating their workers. People with skills do take those skills with them when they leave, unlike retail where the same exact product is for sale regardless of who is selling it. The turnover is super high because this is essentially a dead end job. This company is begging for a lawsuit for its massive labor violations.

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
