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.

okay, I've really debated making this review for a few weeks now…read more Ive been to Fringe a few times, I really like the salon itself. I enjoy the banter between the employees, the environment is really cute and welcoming, no one seems arrogant, but pretty laid back, however, im a fairly shy and anxious person, my stylist is always very chatty which is great because it helps relax me a bit, my stylist is always very sweet, and I truly believe they are a great stylist, just maybe not the stylist for me. Each time I have gone, my hair cut had been completely different than what was requested. I prefer an angled bob, but decided to try something different and go shorter due to some serious breakage and damage to my hair. But what I got vs what I requested and showed are to VASTLY different things, to put it mildly, I have a men's haircut, which is TOTALLY different from what I asked for and the pictures I submitted prior to my appointment and the consultation I had prior to my hair being cut. I paid, and tipped and walked out. this is possibly one of the worst haircuts I have ever had. my stylist compared it to a pixie cut, however, that is very clearly NOT what they gave me, and not even what I asked for / or showed them. I would suggest that if youre planning to go to this salon, be VERY VOCAL about what you want. maybe i should have spoken up, but I didn't realize how awful it was until my hair was dried. My hair is starting to grow out now, but it will be several months before I achieve the style I originally requested. I'm horribly embarrassed. It sucks, because I do really like the salon itself, but after this, I wont be coming back.

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.

Hands down the best salon in Baltimore! I've tried so many salons and I've never found better…read morepeople or a better price than at Bella. Jasmyn is an artist and a magician. 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.

The salon I went to was huge and lots of assistants had their hands on my head/applying chemicals etc. at this salon it is 2 sisters and they are METICULOUS. These girls understand the chemistry of hair color and the biology of good hair. Not to mention very artistic with color application. My last dye job was so bad the color was running in the bowl. These girls undid the damage so beautifully. Went layer by layer and adjusted the color as necessary. Got rid of the orange and put in a nice auburn. I'm not sure how to add before and after photos but they have them. These sisters know what they are doing and they have earned my business for life. PS Nina showed me how uneven my previous cut was, which I had not noticed before. Because the old stylist had flipped the ends when blow drying it, I could not really see the layers. Nina however, with a few snips gave me an incredible haircut. Small change just evened out one layer, which had just been cut at the old salon. but the whole head of hair lay much much better afterwards. Watching them work was impressive.
