    TLDR: The staff was very nice, but I'm not sure the stylists really know how to do hair well. The bad: I asked for beachy waves with a front curtain bang and lots of body for my elopement later in the day, and it wasn't even close to that. My hair just looked flat and like it was badly curled, with no curtain bang at all. To be honest, I wish I would have just done it myself at home. I didn't see one person walk out with hair that I would have considered good, including mine. Curls were too tight/ringlets, most girls had tons of flyaways on top sticking straight up. The good: the staff was incredibly nice, including my stylist. The appointment was on time and the place felt very clean and upscale.

    What I asked for...vs what I got: walked out looking like a country music star. Was not thrilled because it was my birthday the next day...ugh!

    I was really disappointed with my experience here. I visited Raleigh for work and made an appointment for a dry style ahead of some meetings later in the day. If you haven't been to Drybar before, they have a menu of hair styles that are really useful in communicating to your stylist what you're looking for. I chose a very loose "dry tai" style and emphasized that I didn't want any tight curls, but that's exactly what I ended up with... Plus frizz. My hair looked messy and worse than it did when I came in. I'm not sure the stylist was experienced enough to style my hair type. The curls were made way too close to the root, the iron was left on my hair too long, she didn't section my hair/use clips, she used hairspray but no products to help smooth my hair, etc. (The dry styling area isn't in front of a mirror so I wasn't able to see what was going on until it was already done.) For context: my hair is platinum blonde so it's super bleached/porous and holds curls well. It can also break off easily without proper care, get frizzy without the right products/styling -- which is one of the reasons I chose to shampoo/dry at home ahead of time. I could've done a better job styling at home, which is frustrating when you're paying (both time and money) for a professional experience. I ended up having to redo everything and wash/dry/style my hair at the hotel which was a huge hassle. I had to find a Sephora to buy hair products, etc. I've been to plenty of other Drybar locations, and this one wasn't up to par. Last week, I had a great experience getting a dry style in Atlanta.

    Champs with my blowout!

    I have been a fan of DryBar since I live in CA. I met the owner of the NEW Cary location at an event in October. I was so excited to try this new location out and it didn't disappoint. The team at this location is really friendly and welcoming. I got a mix of a cosmo and southern hairdo. My hair is kind tricky and the stylist did a good job at working with it. We were working against the weather on NYE, so my hair was having some issues holding my curls. Overall, the location was easy to get to, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel special, and I truly enjoyed my experience. I will be coming back to get another blowout.

    I asked for volume at the crown and proper styling of curtain bangs. Somehow my stylist couldn't manage to do either of those things.

    It was so relaxing to sit and sip a glass of champagne while watching Shanell transform my hair.

I have only got services to upkeep my Balayage, so I am prepared to pay. I like that they greet you (a front-desk area with things to purchase), offer you a beverage (champagne or beer), hot coffee, tea, juice or water. They have great stylists, and a room in the back for hair washing, drying and just spa-like relaxation. Make your appointment on their website and get ready to be pampered!

At scheduling time, the receptionist was very nice and worked with me to find a time that fits schedules well. I was scheduled with Michaela for a Halo face framing type situation and was greeted very kindly by her and everyone else at the front desk. They offer you water and other beverages there as you arrive. There is also local crafted jewelry in the sitting area to browse. Getting back to hair, Michaela was very personable, funny, nice, and professional. The experience was nice and it feels like you're just chatting with an old friend. Honestly I probably chat too much but the story of my life LOL. They take you back to the hair washing area which is quiet and Serene, ready for relaxation. They also offer you and I mask type essential oil situation where you can pick different scents. After your hair is done washing you get processed and then you go back to your sitting area. It took a little bit to get my hair to the desired look but Michaela and the salon made it very easy to work with and get the results we were hoping for. I appreciate them for being so accommodating and ease of everything. Michaela is a great stylist and I would recommend booking with her anytime! Not only will she make your hair look better but just speaking with her makes your day better too.

I have had it done before at another place, but wasn't able to get an appt with my regular stylist at another salon. After much deliberation, and checking reviews based on 'highlighting', I booked an appt at Salon Kroma. The online booking experience was aces. I received a call after I booked, just to confirm what I had requested. I was told the stylist I had booked with was very skilled with highlighting dark hair. I'm not sure if their idea of skilled is the same as mine. I showed my stylist several photos of the color I was looking for, and let her know my hair can get up to platinum white by showing her some strands on my head that were that color. She still didn't think it was possible...even with me showing her with my own hair that it could be done, and was done, in one sitting. She put the product on my hair and all seemed fine. We went to the back to rinse my hair and I was told to keep my head in the bowl for another 10 mins while she used the second step. I have never ever ever ever ever sat in the hair washing chair while 1) unattended, and 2) for anything other than a shampoo and condition, yet alone for my hair to process. She same back, yes, I said I was left unattended at the hair wash station with my head tilted back into the bowl, and rinsed my hair. We went back to her station and she started to comb my hair. I had to GO BACK to the hair wash station because she DIDN'T RINSE MY HAIR COMPLETELY. There was a large spot on the back of my head with suds still in it. I could hear the bubbles when she touched it. We finally came back to her station and she started to dry and cut my hair. When she was done, I noticed my hair felt a bit like straw and was not as shiny as usual after I receive a dry, cut and style. When I got into my car, I noticed a bit of a burnt hair smell as well. I've used leave in conditioners for a week after my 'experience', and my hair is finally back to its shiny self. I could not ever, in good conscious, go back. It felt like a one step above discount cuts experience.
