I've been to Drybar twice in Ballston and I'd say it's a decent option to have your hair done for…read morespecial occasions. The first time I went it was on NYE and the place was packed! My roommate and I had to wait over 30 mins past our appt time to get our hair done. I thought my hair looked good at the end of the appt. My roommate thought hers was a little frizzy. Upon checkout, they offered umbrellas due to the rain but they had run out by the time we left. On my second appt for my work holiday party, I had my hair curled and with volume. My hair definitely looked great that night but there was so much product in it that it was super greasy the next day. I do tend to have more oily hair naturally (which I mentioned to the stylist) but a lot of product was still used. Overall, I'd probably come back out of convenience to my apartment. However, I wouldn't expect my blow out to last more than a day.

My stylist Kiana did a wonderful job, and informed me of each step along the way while asking for my permission. (E.g., how is the temp. of the water? Do you want this tool or that tool?

I came in at 9:00 am (the only slot they had- they seem to book up fast), and my photoshoot was at 4:00 so I was a little nervous- but my hair held up wonderfully and I'm obsessed with the photos. As for other logistics- they validate parking so that helps a lot. The instructions to find the place are pretty clear, I just had to double check my email when I arrived. I would absolutely come back and book Kiana again!

This was my first DC appointment and I was pleased to book just the day before at a convenient time. I travel a lot for work and don't always have time to fit in a hair appointment before leaving town, so it's wonderful to have a solid and conveniently located place to get my hair "did" and made fresh for my local events. They also do a fantastic job on the wash with a massage feature, so it truly feels like a pamper session. My stylist was very efficient and gave me a silky blowout and lovely curls in just over an hour. My go-to spot whenever I'm back in DC!

I was a loyal customer for years and was a barfly member (their subscription program)…read more At first, I had a good experience. My membership got me 1 blow out per month and most of the people who work there were nice and did good work. Once in a while, I got a stylist that took longer than normal - I figured they were new and it wasn't a big deal for me to wait a little longer for them to finish. I was in and out in under an hour. Then came the fees. At first, they informed me any blowout over an hour was an extra $30. I wasn't worried about it at first because my blowouts were always under an hour, but I started to realize my blowouts were less enjoyable. I started watching the clock and being anxious when a stylist was a little slower. About 6 months later, I was informed the policy changed again and anything over 45 minutes was an extra $30. I cancelled my barfly membership on the spot - what was the point of a membership when they tack on fees? It would be $90 plus tip for a blowout. My regular hair stylist charges me $85 for a cut and blow out and she finishes all of that in under an hour. Also, all of these policy changes were always communicated verbally, and sometimes when you were already getting shampooed. I left voicemails (no one picks up the phone when I call) to discuss my concerns but none were ever returned. I feel bad for the stylists (especially new ones). They are dealing with clients that are likely upset with these ever changing policies and fees. All in all, I realized I wasn't getting a great experience from this business anymore and it was time to call it quits.

I needed my hair done in the morning and they opened exactly at 7 AM. I opted in for just a dry styling and with tax and tip it was around $41 which I think is fairly priced. The service could be better though hence the 3 star review. I liked my hair but no offered be a drink or asked me if I needed anything before having a seat. I originally wanted the Hollywood hair look but because my hair is layered my stylist recommended the Mai-tai instead for me. So I didn't quite get exactly what I wanted but I wasn't disappointed, I essentially just settled. Would only come back if I need a last minute appointment again.
