Overview

At Drybar Montecito, located in beautiful Montecito just outside Santa Barbara, our philosophy is simple: focus on one thing and be the best at it. For us, that’s blowouts. No cuts, no color, just blowouts.
We are a locally owned and operated franchise location with a strong, loyal client base and a fast-paced, fully booked shop. This is an in-person role, and we’re hiring stylists who are currently based in the Santa Barbara/Montecito area or planning an immediate relocation.

We’re currently looking for both experienced stylists and new graduates who want to grow their career in a supportive, high-energy environment.

Just out of beauty school? We’ve got you.
We offer full paid training in the Drybar method, so you don’t need to come in knowing everything—just bring a great attitude, work ethic, and willingness to learn.

What You’ll Do:
Perform blowouts, curls, waves, braids, and updos using our signature Drybar techniques and Look Book
Deliver a consistent, elevated client experience from start to finish
Work in a high-volume, team-driven environment

Perks & Benefits:
Hourly pay + tips + commission + bonuses
Paid training (no experience required—we’ll teach you!)
Paid sick time
Opportunities for growth into leadership and education roles
Consistent weekly scheduling
Employee discounts on tools and products
Complimentary blowouts
Fun, supportive, team-focused culture

What We’re Looking For:
Valid California cosmetology license (or graduating very soon) Open to new stylists + experienced stylists alike
Must be locally based or able to work in Montecito/Santa Barbara immediately
Positive attitude, reliability, and strong communication skills
Team player with a passion for making people feel confident and beautiful

If you’re looking for a place where you can learn, grow, and build real momentum behind the chair—this is it.

Apply today and tell us a little about yourself—we’d love to meet you!
