As someone that frequents Drybar in multiple cities, this one loses a star for me because it doesn't follow the normal model. This location doesn't have mimosas like the others, now I'm not saying that makes or breaks the service, but it definitely adds to my experience. Also the lady at the front desk wasn't comparable to the other locations I've been to. She lacked the "umph" and kindness I expect from your first touch point in a business. Aside from the non experience aspect. This was the best blow out I got from Drybar. So all credit to my stylist. She was super efficient and understood my needs especially as a black woman. She did wonders on my shampoo and damn could she make a LASTING curl. She was attentive all the way until I walked out the door. She even caught me as I put on my jacket and got those last few fly aways. All and all, the hair service was amazing and I'll be back, but I do think there should be some improvements that uphold the Drybar standard.

Very pleasant experience with Sadya. I was greeted and seen promptly at arrival. I was the only person being serviced and it was nice to have my hair done in a large, well decorated empty salon. I low key thought this must be what it's like to be famous :) I explained the look I was going for (opposed to selecting a style from the look book) and my stylist didn't disappoint. I described how my last experience at a different location was not memorable and I feel like my stylist wanted to right the wrong. I had let my monthly blow out accumulate because I wasn't impressed with my results from the other location. However, today was such a positive experience that I booked a return appointment for the near future. If you are a textured/coiled hair girl like me, I highly recommend this location.

Non blowout from Drybar

I was genuinely so excited to try the new store because I had had a previous experience in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and it was great a 10/10. I arrived to my appointment a few minutes before my scheduled service and the receptionist greeted me and offered refreshments. I could have sworn that wine was usually offered but I guess they only had water and tea at this location. Fine, that doesn't make or break my experience. From the get go it seemed like the receptionist was more concerned with getting her takeaway pizza from a place next door then actually working and being at the desk. I waited an hour for my appointment which was scheduled at 6:15 PM. At no point did anyone say, we fucked up on scheduling or we are backed up right now please come back another time. There were only three people actually doing hair. There were two other ladies waiting to get their hair done before me, which were being attended to by two stylists. The third stylist was working on another client that was there prior to me going in. It became evident that as the hour of waiting passes by that the two other stylists were going slow as possible on their clients so they wouldn't have to take me. I finally get grabbed by the third stylist around 7:15, mind you I was early to my appointment, Drybar closes at 8. I finally go through the whole process and said I just want a plain blowout to hurry and get out there. At the end of my service my stylist says is it okay if some of your sections are curly? I said sure, I just wanted to get out of this place after like 2 hours. This might be one of the worst blowouts I have ever had. A large portion of the back of my head was left curly, and my hair has so much product in it is feels tacky - like glue not tacky tacky. I've never had a blowout where I dont like to run my fingers through my hair but here I am, already waiting for my next wash so I can get all of this shit out of my hair. Drybar this is an actual disgrace, happy to share a picture of my "hairstyle". Go to an actual salon and get a blowout instead of dealing with this mess.

I frequent this location. The manager, Tiarra, is AMAZING. She's so kind and gentle handed while also making my hair look amazing. I haven't been in a month because I have braids but I'll be back to see you ladies soon. Happy Holidays! Xoxo

Braided updo from Ashley at Drybar!

I was nervous after reading the reviews, but a friend and I decided to give it a shot and book last minute updos for a wedding we were attending. I've seen some reviews where people were kept waiting long past their appointment times, but I only needed to wait about two minutes while my stylist prepared her station. Everyone working was friendly and accommodating. I got compliments on my hair all night and the style held up flawlessly to dancing, rain, and humidity.

I want to preface this review by saying that I've been going to Fringe for the better part of two…read moreyears and have admired the work I've had done by multiple stylists. The front desk staff has been sweet and appointments are usually a great time! So if you're a new customer and/or a QTPOC like me trying to get a sense of what the vibe at Fringe is like, book with the folks who consistently get good reviews. They've earned all of their stars, and the whole salon does not deserve a tank in it's rating despite what the rest of this review will say about my experience with Laura S. _________________________________________________ Usually I book haircuts, but since I'm growing it out now, I booked a bang trim. I'd never been Laura's client prior to this booking. After you book online, Fringe sends an appointment form that asks your name, pronouns, even a drink preference. I filled it out and uploaded a picture of what I was looking for: curtain bangs that part in the middle to frame my face and blend into the rest of my haircut. I arrived early to my appointment, but I was shown to the stylist's chair immediately. I don't think that appointment form I filled out was looked at prior to my arrival because she said my name wrong and then asked me to pull up a picture of what I wanted. I wasn't even offered a drink. (Mind you, it was close to 100 degrees out and I had walked there, but whatever.) A few seconds of awkward small talk later, Laura starts cutting my bangs while carrying on a conversation with an employee. Before I knew it, my bangs were uneven. I asked her to try and fix this while I was still in her chair. When she showed me the mirror again, I decided not to let her touch my hair anymore since she seemed to think that I looked fine. I took the pic I attached to this review a few minutes after my appointment. Honestly, I'm embarrassed that I paid to look like I gave myself manic bangs with nail clippers at 3 AM. To make matters worse, this is what I'll be looking like when I meet my partner's family for the first time this weekend. Wish me and my bobby pins luck. There's nothing anyone can do for me or my hair at this point, I only want to leave this review about this experience because it was extremely unusual and disappointing. It seemed disrespectful to me and my time. If I ever go back again, I would not book with Laura.

This review is specifically for Odessa. If she had just been honest about her experience and skill…read morelevel, I wouldn't be this upset 6+ months later. I received a short cut from her, and it continues to haunt me to this day. It grew out so oddly, like I had chopped away at it myself. Truly the worst haircut I've received to-date. The icing on the cake was when she solicited me for future services - and when asked to remove me, she surprisingly lacked professionalism in her reply. Please don't trust her with your short hair. She doesn't know how to handle shorter styles, and will not be honest about her ability.

This review is in reference to her shockingly poor customer service, not the salon itself or any of the other stylists. Due to COVID-19, appointments could no longer be scheduled using the app, clients were required to e-mail stylists in order to schedule, completely understandable. On August 12, 2020, I had an appointment scheduled for 11:00 am, upon arrival at the salon, there was a notice posted on the door that Shy had a personal emergency and would have to reschedule. I live about 30 minutes away from the salon, and although disappointed that I wouldn't be getting my hair styled that day as expected, I was more concerned that my stylist was ok and in good health. I emailed Shy before driving back home, I said I hoped that everything was ok and to please let me know when I could reschedule. A few days pass, it's now Saturday, August 15, and I haven't received an e-mail response, so I decided to call her other location, Fells Point, because I'm not sure if Shy was still experiencing an emergency and I didn't want to be a bother. I was able to get an appointment with another stylist at the Fells Point location the very next day, perfect! It's Sunday, my service appointment went well, to my surprise Shy called the stylist who serviced me and told her to give me a 40% discount, it wasn't unexpected, but I appreciated her doing that. Later Sunday evening, Shy emailed me and apologized for the cancellation, again appreciated the personalized customer service. We emailed back and forth about my current style and discussed ideas about what I wanted to do next. During the conversation, Shy informed me that she'll be back to work fully starting the first week of September and that online booking would be back up as well. Fast forward to August 21, I happened to be browsing the app and noticed that a few September dates had opened up - one of those dates being the 9th, so I thought maybe she opened her book early, but I wasn't sure so I decided to email her for clarity - I desperately needed an appointment for September 4th as I have an event to attend on the 5th, so I emailed her to see if she had any availability on that day, as since the beginning of the pandemic, this has been our primary source of communication. Her auto-reply says to give her 24 hours for a response, again me not wanting to be a bother, I wanted to give her ample time to respond. On the morning of August 25, I decided to call the Federal Hill location, because I really need to secure an appointment for my upcoming event. A woman answers the phone and I'm greeted with "Shy Watters Hair Studio," I asked "hey, is this Shy," she responds "yes, may I ask who's calling" and in a jokingly manner, I responded "hey, this is Nickole don't mean to stalk you," and then the line immediately disconnects. I'm thinking it must be a mistake, Shy wouldn't hang up on me, what would be the reason? I'm just calling to get clarity on her availability. I called back 45 minutes later just to be sure, and received no answer. And to date, she has not replied to my email from August 21. I'm writing this review as a buyer beware, yes, the salon is great, Shy does do great work, that is not up for debate. However, the way that she handled the situation was poorly done and in bad taste. I have never experienced such terrible customer service. Unfortunately, I will no longer be able to support her salon or brand. Hanging up on customers (unwarranted, might I add) is unacceptable and unprofessional. Treat your clients with more respect.

I show her a reference photo and what she does with my hair is always a million times more perfect than the photo it started with. She is so skilled at everything color and hair-related and on top of that, she is so freaking friendly and always has me cracking up in the chair. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Jasmyn and I am so glad I found her! Kristen, the owner and also a stylist, is so sweet and friendly. Every time I come in, she's the first to greet me and immediately makes me feel super comfortable, like I'm at a friend's house instead of a storefront. This is all due to Jasmyn's handiwork, but I've never left Bella without 100 compliments from the staff and patrons. Whether I need a quick trim or I want to completely change my look, Bella is the only salon I'll trust!

I missed the head massage and hot towel treatment I used to get at the Aveda Salon I frequented in Florida. My first salon experiences in this area incorporated lukewarm hair washing water and no head massage. I couldn't do it anymore. Soiree knocks the hair washing service out of the park. They have their own crew completely responsible for washing hair, massaging scalps and providing hot towel treatments. My daughter likes it so much that one time I was having my hair taken care of, she just asked if she could have hers washed. They fit her in right in. You best believe there is no lukewarm water here. My haircuts themselves are also top notch. Dani is really good at her job. Not only with the actual cutting and attention to detail with my hair but also with the conversation. I am always sad when the haircut is over. It all goes too quickly. Scheduling and rescheduling appointments is super easy. They send text reminders so that I am never surprised when it pops up on my calendar. I look forward to my visits to Soiree. I know my family feels the same way.
