Drybar - Ann Arbor - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I am a regular at Drybar Birmingham and I've been going there consistently for about 4 to 5 years. I do, however, stop into this location in Ann Arbor a few times a year as well. This location is much larger than the one in Birmingham. As far as hair goes, it can be very hit or miss. I've had amazing blowout that have lasted days and I've had other blowout that it doesn't even look like I did anything to my hair. The customer service has always been absolutely amazing and the shop manager has always try to make everything right. If you are here for a photo shoot for an important event, I would recommend requesting a senior stylist. Overall, I'm fairly happy with another Drybar location in the area! The managers at both Drybar locations and the district manager have always been amazing. read more

Nice work, I will come back. The staff is as very courteous, stylist knowledgable, and overall experience very pleasant.

What a STEAL. I needed to get my hair done for a wedding and they offer a great deal: dry style + glass of champagne, mimosa, wine, coffee or tea for $35! They offer a lot of great dry styles to choose from and my stylist offered a better suggestion. I felt like a minion bucks! read more

Drybar is still the best blowout franchise in the country. I used Drybar in Hawaii and was almost always satisfied with the atmosphere and service. It was my first time at the Ann Arbor location, but every Drybar is virtually identical, as are the styles offered. I added a charcoal scalp scrub and liquid glass smoothing sealant along with my blowout. The results were excellent, and I loved how glossy and smooth my hair looked, but with the bounce that comes with a blowout as opposed to a flat ironing. Not sure if some of the add-ons were worth it, however. I thought I'd feel more of the charcoal scalp scrub and that it would be more of a massage, but it wasn't. The style lasted nearly a week, so perhaps the liquid glass smoothing sealant worked, but I don't think it was worth an additional $15. I remember when scalp massages and product came with the service for free, but now everything has co-charge. Overall, satisfied with the outcome, and I would use this Drybar location again. read more

First timer. I called ahead for a walk in as I was late for a family photoshoot and didn't want to bother with my hair. The receptionist was very nice and promptly handed me a mimosa. I had to wait a little while, but they took $10 off the service price to make up for it, without me saying anything at all or asking. The wait was honestly pleasant, I liked the atmosphere and I didn't mind waiting since I had a very yummy mimosa in hand. I forgot the name of my stylist but she was very nice and didn't hurt my hair or my neck at all (I'm used to students). My hair looked beautiful, she did a great job, we had a good conversation, and everyone was super nice. Go Drybar Ann Arbor! I'll be coming back. read more

Drybar - Ann Arbor - Complimentary mimosa - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

FINALLY!! Ann Arbor has a Drybar! Gorgeous hair is in style! While living in Houston, I was a regular client at my local Drybar - a national brand that specializes in one thing: Blow-outs (and the occasional up-do). The formula is simple: The Drybar is staffed by stylist that specialize in creating your perfect blow-dried look. To make it easy, the Drybar has a menu of styles that can help you identify that the look that you are hoping to achieve. You start with a good wash, then the stylists get to work, which even for my long hair, takes less than 45 minutes. On my most recent visit, I was pressed for time and was treated by having two stylists working at once, which resulted in a 12 minutes blow-dry style! Since Drybar's arrival in A2, I have booked several appointment all before work. Their first appointment is at 7:00 am, which has made it super easy for me to stop on my way. Finally, blow-outs are $45, which is essentially the competitive local and national price. Somewhat annoyingly, all calls are received by a central call center, so be forewarned if you are trying to reach anyone at the actual salon. read more

Drybar - Ann Arbor - Obligatory car selfie (style: The Straight Up) - Love it! - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Thank you to the yelp staff who arranged for the elite yelper's to go to an event at the dry bar. I have noticed this place, originally thinking it might be an alcohol bar. However I wasn't quite sure of the name! LOL I came to realize it is a place to get awesome blowouts of your hair. They do not cut, they do not color- just wash and blow dry. It is located between the Urban Toddler and Cloth & Kind. I would suggest entering and exiting via Plat street instead of trying to turn in and out onto Washtenaw Avenue. There is a free parking lot. I was greeted promptly by the receptionist Kaitlyn. She took my coat and offered to get me a beverage. There were many to choose from, I choose the adult beverage. I was then greeted by Paige, my stylist. I already knew what kind of blowout I wanted (there is a menu of services outside and on line)so off we went to the back of the facility where there was the hair washing area. The sink is not like in some traditional salons. You do not recline. You are basically sitting up with your head back in a bowl and your feet up on a footstool. For me with my neck issues, it was not as comfortable as when you are reclined but it was not uncomfortable either. After having my hair washed, we went to the blowout area. The decor is modern and clean. There is a place to hook your purse underneath the counter so your purse does not have to sit on the floor. I like that a lot. I got the southern blowout which, as the name suggests, has a fair amount of volume. They used a technique I don't use at home of keeping brushes in your hair while it is cooling to help with the volume as well as using Velcro rollers after they dried my hair. I looked crazy but the results were great. The manager Catherine was there and we chatted a little bit after my hair was done. I wanted to wait a few days after I had the blowout to post this review to tell you how it lasted. A blowout is $45, which from what I can tell is the going rate. I have fairly straight hair to begin with. The next day my hair was no longer full, but I was able to tease it back into shape. So for me, a blowout although nice, is probably not as important as if I had very thick curly hair. I think for women with thick curly hair, this place is a amazing. I know other people who come here and love the straight look that they get. So if that is you, I would highly recommend this place. For my hair type, I would go back and try one of their updos if I were going to a wedding or an event. read more

Corny joke alert. Why was Pavlov's hair so soft? Because he conditioned it. (Author unknown) Conditioned, soft, and beautiful will your hair be after a visit to Drybar! TL;DR 1. They have booze and snacks :) 2. Option to watch chick flicks during the appointment :) 3. Clean, beautiful space :) 4. Friendly employees (thank you Ashley and Sabrina!) :) 5. Beautiful results on my long, thick Asian hair. I've never felt more mermaid-like :) 6. Heavily fragranced hair products :( 7. Recommendation: Certify their products for public health/sustainability, promote a social cause (Disclaimer: I was invited here through a Yelp Elite event. Thank you Yelp!) Full review below: Drybar is anything but dry. Upon arrival, I was offered a beverage by Sabrina at the front and could choose from water, tea, coffee, mimosa, and wine. Being offered alcohol at a salon during an appointment was a first for me. There were also these delicious lemon cookies sitting at the counter guests could much on with their drink. I was so hungry since I didn't have time to eat breakfast earlier that morning and rushed to my appointment at noon. I inhaled those deletectable lemon goodies. Booze and snacks. I may have had my pinky bent slightly out on my glass of mimosa. The appointment was getting off to a fancy start. I was eventually led to a seat towards the back left corner of the salon and asked by my stylist Ashley to choose from a menu of looks. They all had cocktail-themed names like The Manhattan, Mai Tai, Straight Up, Shirley Temple (for kids!), Dirty Martini, Southern Comfort, etc. I chose a combination of the Cosmo-Tai and Southern Comfort: beachy with loose curls. My particular seat was in front of a large screen TV playing Miss Congeniality. Classic. Ashley explained to me they have a rotation of chick flicks playing throughout the day like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Bridesmaid. During the holidays, they play Hallmark/Christmas-themed movies. There are also subtitles so you can still understand everything with a loud blowdryer next to your head. Once I selected my style, Ashley took me to the back for a relaxing head massage and shampoo. We made small talk and I watched the movie while she worked on drying my hair and curling it with an assortment of tools. The salon space was really nice - clean, modern, with lots of natural lighting. The chairs were 'bar-seating,' where customers sat in front of one long rectangular table that encircled a pillar of TVs/shelves. It was hard to see my reflection in the mirror in front of me since it was mostly covered by the TV and shelves holding hair products/decor items. But I think the point was to be surprised by the results at the end of the appointment when they whip you around in your chair to face a mirror for the 'big reveal.' There is a large mirror behind every seat at the salon to facilitate this effect. Ashley did an amazing job with my hair. My hair is incredibly thick and heavy, making it difficult to style and hold a curl. I usually don't even bother because of the tremendous effort it takes to shape it. Ashley meticulously styled and curled every strand of hair, resulting in a beautiful cascade of hair that would turn a mermaid green with envy. She also explained all the Drybar products (which also have cocktail-themed names) she used in my hair as she went along. I docked a star because of the heavy fragrance that wafted off my hair the rest of the day from the Drybar products. I am sensitive to strong scents/perfumes and get a huge headache if I don't remove myself from the source immediately. An ibuprofen helped to take care of that later though that afternoon. Ashley did ask if I was okay with product in my hair at the beginning of the appointment. I will opt out on my next visit. Nonetheless, most of my curls held for the remainder of the day. If I could make any suggestions to improve, my recommendation to Drybar is to consider formulating hair products that are fragrance-free and have some certification proving its safety to public health and dedication to the environment or social cause. For instance, irritation-free formula, low VOCs released from sprays, packaging is recyclable, portion of proceeds donated to fighting domestic violence, etc. Drybar would be a great place to host events like showers, birthdays, galentine's day, etc. I would definitely come back here to get my hair styled for a special event or for a rainy day! Thank you Yelp for the special chance to try out Drybar! read more

This location compared to Santa Monica, California, is infinitely nicer, cleaner and better stocked. The blowouts are not bad, and although the staff is knowledgeable on doing different styles, they could probably use a bit more training on products for different hair types. Everyone there is super friendly and accommodating and, as always, the scheduling through the app is super quick and easy. read more

Drybar - Ann Arbor - Prosecco with my blow dry? Why yes, thank you. - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Do not come here unless you want to pay $55+ for a hair wash. I came to get my hair done for photos and was very disappointed. The team was very late for my appt by almost 20 mins (for a 45 min appt), and initially the main educator told me she would help out since they were late, but then never helped, leading the apt to end 20 mins late. Once I got my blowout, my hair was very flat and minimally curly (i had asked for the Cosmo, a style with big curls and volume). Within 15 mins, the curls were almost entirely gone and looked worse than if I had done it myself. I asked if I could have assistance fixing it, since I looked worse than when I arrived and had my photos in 30 mins, but was told there was nothing they could do since all stylists were busy (even though the main educator was still around). The stylist who did my hair was nice, but that was the only redeeming part about my appt. I've provided the feedback below to the company as well, so hopefully they can improve going forward, but right now I cannot recommend this business. read more

I went in for a weekend pick me up as I've had a pretty sucky weekend, and this yelp elite event had me sucked in after I left church. I went in early and had to wait a few minutes later than my appointment time I had scheduled as they had a party come in before me. I was in no rush, plus they sent over a complimentary mimosa to enjoy for my visit. Marie came and took me to the chair and gave me a look book to go over, but I wasn't super picky. We then went to the back and I got my hair washed and then we got the styling started. It was a nice experience. She didn't talk much, which is fine with me because I'm not a big talker - and my mood probably showed as well. (sorry Marie!) The scent of the product they used is a bit strong for me and gave me a slight headache, (artificial vanilla?) but my hair is super shiny. I did have a bit of an issue with needing a card to set up a reservation. After I got in the seat post wash, I received a "receipt" in my email showing a bill and tip that I did not complete, nor was it named with my stylist. I asked about it when I was leaving and the manager said it was in error and voided. I gave the receptionist a $20 to give to Marie, as she went to the back room right after she walked me to the counter. I hope she got it! read more

I had a wonderful experience visiting Drybar. I was invited as a Yelp Elite Event. It was my first time going to a salon that exclusively specializes in blowouts. I love the concept of not having to sit at a salon for hours. It's great idea to be able to get in and out within an hour. I was warmly greeted when I entered. I was introduced to Taylor who was my stylist . She showed me a style book, I was able to choose which type of blow out I was wanting. Once I chose one, I was then immediately offered coffee, tea, water, wine or a mimosa. How could I pass a mimosa.... I had a consult with Taylor then we went over to the shampoo area. Taylor gave me a complimentary deep conditioning treatment. After that was rinsed our , we went to her chair. The salon has an open concept then, there is a long table where 6 stylists can do clients blow outs. I enjoyed my time and was happy with the results of my blow out. I was most pleased to get in and out in a hour which is unheard of for my curly hair to get straight that quickly. read more

Loved my blowout! The waves lasted all night. It was easy to make an appointment and our hair was done quickly.

WOW! So wish I had one of these closer to me. I was invited to a Yelp Elite event here and I'm so happy I was able to make the hour long drive. I am so happy with my wash, blow dry and style. Upon my arrival I was checked in and asked if I wanted coffee, water or tea to drink. I needed to use the restroom first- which by the way was very clean. After that I sat down and looked through the style book. I chose the Mai Tai. I was taken back for a wash. The stylist told me about each product that she put in my hair. First a charcoal scrub, shampoo, and then conditioner. The conditioner felt amazing! It had like a cooling effect to my scalp. After that we went back to the chair and the stylist started to blow dry my hair, then style it. Each time she added a product she would tell me about it. The only thing I didn't particularly like was that there were no mirrors very close to watch what the stylist was doing. Even when I get my hair cut and colored I love watching my stylist and her techniques. I would definitely come back to Dry Bar weekly if there was one closer to me. Here's hoping to one opening soon! read more

I went and got my hair done for my engagement photos last month. I asked for the cosmo-tai curls and it looked great when I walked out of the salon. I was so excited that my hair was going to be perfect for the photos in two hours. We drive to Detroit an hour and half later and they are gone. I was worried that it was in my head, but no, I have hundreds photos of proof now that there wasn't a curl in sight. My natural hair is curler than the curls that I paid for. One of my friends thought that I straighten my hair for the photos! I am so disappointed! My engagement photos are ruined!!! read more

I had never been to a drybar before, but this was such a relaxing experience! I booked my first blowout with a 10$ off promotion. I ended up showing up 30 minutes early, and they were able to fit me in early! The whole process took around an hour. All styles were 45$, and there were maybe 5-6 blowout styles to choose from. It starts off with a wash, then you get a blow dry with a round brush, and then styled! I picked a style that had a lot of volume, and because I have thick asian hair, I really doubted that they could achieve that amount of volume. But I was wrong! They did a combo of mousse, lifting spray, and rollers that somehow managed to keep my hair up. The whole time, I was watching chickflicks and drinking coffee--would highly recommend! Parking is also easy in the lot! read more

I had seriously such a great time here! Everyone is very welcoming and just so friendly. Their styling products and even shampoo/conditioner smell so lovely and left my hair feeling amazing (and I saw they're cruelty free)! Marie was my stylist and she was amazing and gave me suggestions of what to do. They have a style book, which is really helpful, since I'm incredibly indecisive and honestly don't know what would look the best on me. I was able to do a combination of two or three. If you have an event coming up, or just want to get fancy for whatever reason, go check this place out! read more

I'd never had a blowout before, so this was new and fun! I had an appointment and they were ready for me right away, but before I sat down I was offered coffee/tea/water/white wine/a mimosa :) They washed my hair and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants had just started on the TV right in front of me when I settled in for the blowout. I got to pick the style I wanted from the pictures they offer and it only took about 30 minutes and came out looking great. I wish it was a little cheaper because don't think I could justify paying 45 dollars to have my hair done very often, but they did a great job, and it's still wavy even the next day. read more

I came here recently for a yelp elite event - this location is so beautiful! It is located in the Arbor Hills complex - what's also amazing is there is a coffee shop right next door. I believe Kasey or Katie did my hair - ahh I spaced on her name and wish it had been included on my post blow our survey but I really appreciated how she took her time doing my hair- one hour to be exact and she really listened to my concerns about my hair not being very thick and helped with product suggestion etc. I had a few questions for her such as if the salon washes / will place clip in / other extensions in and she was not sure but I do think the Drybar website may mention doing it for an upcharge? Anyways they sat me down and I got to drink some tea and read some magazines- wish they had more than 4 for me to peruse as I read almost all of them during my appointment! My hair looked great when I left and I did get compliments but i would not sign up for Drybar as I feel if you do not have much hair/ it's texture is fine it just doesn't last (the style) all day. At the end of the day my sister asked me what happened to my blowout as it had fallen out a bit. I would recommend Drybar but only to gals with very thick hair that holds volume! read more

This was my first visit to a DarBar and I was SO impressed. When I walked in for my 11AM appointment, I was greeted by the front desk staff and offered a beverage. I was a few minutes early so had a chance to browse the "menu" while enjoying my coffee (which was delicious). The decor was so cute and the smells made you feel like you were at a spa! When it was time for my appointment, I was greeted by my stylist first to discuss what I was looking for. I told her I would be flying that day and looking for something that would hold up. The shampoo came next and was very relaxing. I have a lot of hair and from start to finish my appointment took 56 minutes. This location Is in a busy strip mall but parking was not an issue. I had a great, relaxing experience and I will definitely be back!! read more

I had a wonderful visit here today. Which started off with a wonderful hair wash and massage head during the wash. The shampoo and conditioner they use smells so good. The stylist took her time massaging my head as she shampooed my hair. Then I got back to the hair station she put some more great smelling product in my hair before blow drying it straight. I asked for the southern comfort style which I was very happy with when she finished it. I loved the way it was curled and how great my hair smelt. What was nice is that they talked to me about restaurants to go eat at for afterwards. I will definitely be back with either my girls or my best friend. Just love, love, love this place. Thank you for opening one up in Ann Arbor. read more

I had a great blowout here at Drybar! The atmosphere is a great mix of fancy classic glam and modern, and all the staff was sooooo nice. They even gave me an excellent coloring tip I know I'll use. All of the products smelled great and the experience was very pampering. There were magazines and movie w subtitles on, too. If I knew I had a big night and really wanted my best hair, I would come here! It would be fun for a group of friends, too. My stylist was super sweet and she gave me exactly what I asked for!

Drybar is not just a salon, it's an experience! The reception greets you with a complementary beverage of choice, I of course decided with bubbly wine! While I waited for my time-slot I drank my bubbly and decided what do I wanted! Once I got back in the chair the stylist was super informative on helping me decide the best style for my hair type! We agreed that the cosmo would be the best. Then washing happened which was in a separate area of the salon with comfy chairs and the wash was super relaxing! Then the actual styling took place, during the whole process my stylist was super informative and gave me tips for getting the same look at home! Overall I would highly recommend Drybar and I will definitely go back, I'm already planning a day! read more

I'm beyond excited that Drybar is now in Ann Arbor! I was driving to Birmingham (over an hour away) to get my fix in. This location is extremely convenient! It's located in a strip mall with other stores, food, and even a coffee shop- which is perfect for a "treat yourself" day. Upon arriving, they offer you a drink: water, mimosa, or wine, which is a major bonus in my book. The staff was really nice also! The girl who did my hair didn't talk much, but that didn't defer my experience. I 100% recommended stopping by if you're in the area- I will be back! read more

Drybar is located in a plaza with plenty of (free) parking. I arrived 10 minutes early but was able to get started right away. I was offered over eight beverage items while I was being checked in! Drybar is very open and clean. In fact, when I arrived, I saw a staff member dusting the shelves and making sure everything was spotless. After I was checked in, I was welcomed by a stylist who asked me which style I wanted. I've never had a blowout before so I thought it was just one style: straight. The stylist wasn't sure if I looked online at the different style options before my appointment. But no worries - she had a booklet that she walked me through with the various options. Even with all of the offerings, I still wanted my hair straight since it's naturally wavy. I love my hair straight but let's be honest, who has time to straighten their hair every morning before work? Not this girl. I asked a bunch of questions including how many days will my hair remain straight and I was told up to 3 days. After the overview, I went to the back to get my hair shampooed. The scalp massage was amazing! After that was done, I went back to the chair where I would get my blowout. As my stylist did my hair, she asked me if it was okay to use certain products. I really appreciated that as I don't like a ton of product in my hair so it was nice to know what she was going to use before actually using it. When my hair was done, my stylist asked if I liked it and if there was anything else she could do. I want to add that during the 30 minutes I was getting the blowout, the owner/ manager checked on me multiple times to see if everything was to my liking and if I wanted a beverage. I enjoyed my experience but as a recommendation, it would be helpful to provide more information about each product used. My stylist used two different heat protectants. I asked what the difference is between the two but she didn't seem to know. Further, while I don't like being pressured to buy products, maybe the stylist could ask the customer if they'd like to purchase any of the items used on their hair. The next day, I washed my hair and air dried it. Since then, for some reason my hair is wavier than it was before I stepped into Drybar. read more

Definitely came out looking like a princess after my appointment!! Drybar is the perfect place for a self-care day and will 100% be back after this quarantine. I was immediately greeted by the receptionist who confirmed my appointment and asked me if I wanted anything to drink (they have mimosas and rose as options !!) after getting settled in, I was given a 'look book' to decide which style I wanted. They had a variety of options from straight, wavy, and curly! I expressed to my stylist that I was nervous my hair would not look good with curly hair because it is short, but she assured me with her confidence that she was capable to make it look good. With my trust in her hands, I let her curl my hair and was NOT disappointed!!! This is a great place for those (like myself) who are not skilled with hair styling to get it done professionally. Will be back to book appointments for special occasions and well.... even normal days to achieve hair goals ‍ read more
