Drybar is opening a location at the Gates of Prosper, franchise owner Stephanie A. Parker said.
The salon specializes in blowout services that include washing, drying and styling, and clients can choose from add-ons like hair masks and scalp massages, according to the company’s website.
The backstory
Parker left her corporate job at AT&T after more than 25 years to open a Drybar location in Prosper.
There are parallels between her work in customer experience at AT&T and cultivating a satisfying salon visit, Parker said.
“I don’t necessarily think it was a change in career, it was really a change in where I was doing it,” she said.
The local impact
The Prosper Drybar location is targeting an Aug. 7 opening date depending on final inspections and permitting, Parker said.
While Parker said she would be interested in opening additional locations in North Texas in the future, her current priority is community engagement and career development for her employees in Prosper, she said.
“What we do is not just about creating a great experience, although that’s a big part of it,” Parker said. “It’s also about creating a great environment for people to work.”
