I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Drybar (New York, NY) in Dec 2012
Interview
When you apply, you get a phone call for a brief interview, if you seem to be aligned with their culture, you go to the salon to do a demo on a model for 2 styles of blow dry that the model selects. The trainers will walk around, take notes and let you know if you'll get a call back.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you give a consultation? How do you handle difficult client? Why do you want to be a hairstylist?
First was a sit down interview with the manager, which was scheduled by a recruiter. Then came back and auditioned with a model a blowout and curls. It was pretty straightforward.
Easy interview - your availability and you do a test run of doing someone’s blow out. You bring a client to style and show you can do a service within 45mins.

Question 1
What is my availability and can I make it to training times.
Interview was casual, I had worked at a previous location, so I felt like it wasn't as in depth for that reason. It was two parts, one was just a chat with the hiring manager, the other was a half day of technical styling on clients to prove you can do the styles.

They asked how I got along with clients and stylists, working through a difficult situation or unhappy guest.
