Long overdue review! I've been a long time customer of Drybar and have visited a number of locations across Texas and New York. I frequent the Drybar Downtown pretty often (it's my home base now) and I've always been so happy with my experience and the stylists I've worked with. I can't say enough great things about this location! Super friendly, great stylists, and consistent amazing service every time! read more

Look, I love Drybar. Love getting my hair blown out. And today I did that for an awards gala. My stylist was ok except for when she burned my eyebrow with the flatiron. I was fine to forgive that but then she asked me if I wanted anti humidity spray in my hair. Of course I said yes. I'm in Austin for Pete's sake. But she did not tell me there was a charge associated with that. It was $15!!! Flipping hairspray was $15!!! I'm guessing it would have been cheaper to just buy the bottle. I didn't know there was a charge until I was paying. I went ahead and paid for it but I feel bamboozled. My coworker also said yes to a spray and wasn't charged extra. What in the actual F! How is any sort of spray worth $15?? read more

Ambiance is nice, team is nice, everything is clean. They just didnt know how to manage curls like mine. I blow dry my hair every week multiple times and it looks much better than when I was here. I am white (Italian and Irish) with dark type 3B curls all over my head that get VERY frizzy if you don't pull on the round brush tightly. They ended up using a hair straightener and curling iron to get it manageable but it was still frizzy and dry afterwards. If you have typical straight non frizzy hair naturally though this place would be solid! read more

It was my first time at a drybar location and I'm very disappointed with the result. The first photo was my inspo photo. I said I completely understand we have different hair textures but I like the volume, the big curls, and the fact that it isn't ringlets. The second photos are my results immediately after leaving the salon. They simply aren't even close. The stylist was nice enough but it just isn't what I asked for read more

Wow, i am super impressed with management and corporate. They truly care about their customers' experience. I received an email from corporate and a phone call from the local manager to get my feedback. I had told them that when I came, the hot water was limited. The manager explained they had a temporary issue with the HVAC which ties into the water system and they it has been fixed. I am so glad to hear that they got on it right away! This is how a business was should do business. The hair stylists were all great, and took care of my neice, my sister and myself and got us ready for a family wedding. This was such a blessing since we were coming I. From all over the country and did not want to lug hair styling tools and products through the airport. The salon is super cute, and I will be back! Thank you Dry Bar! read more

This was the worst blow out of my entire life. Staff is rude and the woman I was assigned to refused to shampoo and blow out my hair because it's long. She proceeded to give me a dry shampoo and curls, which I did not want. I cried the entire time the experience was so horrible. The unprofessional woman at the front did nothing to diffuse or fix the situation. I should not have been charged since I was treated so badly but I was forced to pay anyway. DO NOT go here. Unprofessional and rude. read more

By far the best experience and blow out from a Drybar! Lauren was amazing and listened to my concerns and made suggestions. Perfect excuse for a blow out. I had a mid morning appointment so the salon wasn't super busy. Definitely would go back if in town again! read more

I somehow find myself in a Drybar in every city I'm in, partially because my Dyson doesn't fit into my carry-on. This experience was above and beyond- trlu great staff and great blowout results. read more

Great experience, but nothing I couldn't have done myself at home. I was hoping my curls last at least 2-3 days but they didn't. Would recommend it if your are in a time crunch and need a quick style. read more

Awful experience. I had clip on extensions and they literally clipped some on to the top of my head, fully exposed. They have offered a refund for only extensions but after taking out the extensions, my hair did not hold the curl. I told the stylist I had very thin, fine hair so having clip in extensions is the only way of maintaining the curled look. Taking out the extensions brought my hair back to straight unfortunately. read more

Drybar - Downtown Austin - Clip in extensions, placed directly on top of my head. Completely exposed for all to see. When this should be hidden within my hair. - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Austin, Texas

Possibly the poorest ran location I have been to. The blowouts are completely inconsistent depending which stylist you get . When you provide feedback proactively- they give you attitude and pushes you for additional products so they can upsell you a $25 charge for a 2 min service . Many takes shortcuts from wash up until the styling . If your blowout only last 2 days - that's because the stylist HAS NO IDEA what they are doing . Go give some other locations a try and you'll realize that their service is not worth it . read more

This was by far the worst blowout I've ever had. They didn't even wash my hair; instead, they sprayed so much product to make it wet that it ended up looking greasy and stiff. My roots are still curly, and it was obvious the stylist didn't know how to properly smooth the hair. To make things worse, they never asked if I wanted hairspray, and my hair was left feeling crunchy and heavy. I'll have to wash it as soon as I get home. What a complete waste of time and money. When I asked for it to be redone, the only thing they offered was "dry styling," which would still leave it looking greasy and full of product. I'm definitely never coming back. read more

Do not go here!! Staff is extremely inconsiderate and disrespectful. They will do a terrible job. Reached out to Management to discuss the poor quality in the blowout service and they never returned our emails. read more

I was in town for a work meeting and needed to get my hair styled ahead of the meeting. I set an appointment the night before at the DryBar downtown. I was a little hesitant because I have ethnic hair and wasn't sure if they would be able to style it to my liking. My stylist was absolutely fabulous she washed my hair and styled it so beautifully, and made sure to educate me along the way. I was given compliments all day about how great my hair looked. Next time I'm town I will absolutely book here again. I highly recommend! read more

Worst service ever. I went home and started over. When I tried to give the person direction on how to fix it she eye rolled and then stormed away. Don't buy an "extra" treatment either.. this was $30 to get her to do a "special hairspray" that took 2 seconds and made no difference. no water or tea either.... read more

I had the best blowout in the Downtown Austin location. I was in town for a football game and wanted a great blowout that would last. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with that amazing Texas hospitality! My stylist was Angele, she was fantastic and so professional. The wash was quite possibly the best I have everexperienced. My blowout was just what I asked for. Smooth and straight. Today is day 5, and I'm still rocking my perfect blowout. Thanks Austin for delivering! read more

I've been a Barfly for years and can't give it up. It's the best deal for blowouts anywhere and their stylists are always friendly and professional. The space is well designed and comfortable. Everyone should treat themselves to Drybar! read more

Day bar down town was a absolute amazing place to work l love the staff most of everyone was nice and friendly I had great time thank you

Just passing through and was recommended to this place and by far my expectations were exceeded! They listened to what I wanted and did just that! Wish they had them here in Washington State! Thank you! read more

Kate is great. Just need the TVs working again. My blowout was exactly what I asked for

Management is absolutely dispicable in this location. I have been coming to Drybar for years and have never been treated so poorly. The short manager that has dark hair, tattoos, and thick glasses is very condescending and should not be talking to customers. She should be fired in my opinion for how rude she is to guests. Never come here if you are ethnic or POC, they do not listen to your requests nor do they know how to manage ethnic hair. read more

Cannot say enough great things about Drybar Austin downtown., always run on time, great blowouts. Everyone is super kind. Love being a bar-fly member, a super great deal if you love getting your hair blown out at least twice a month. I am hooked. read more

I had a great blowout here while staying at The Loren Hotel downtown. I have thick curly hair that frizzes in humidity and they tamed the beast quite well! I got lots of compliments! read more

I loved my service here with Izzy. She was funny and gave me exactly the hair style I was looking for. She also had great tips for me on haircare. I love this place. The champagne perk is fun! Plus I always feel so taken care of. It's a very calm and relaxing atmosphere as well. And SO clean! I highly recommend! read more

I am addicted! I loved my hair and it lasted ONE WEEK. Casey took the time to ask about what I wanted and how I normally wear my hair. As we all know hair can be a sensitive subject, I felt so comfortable and most importantly I felt beautiful when the appointment was over. THANK YOU Drybar! I love my hair again. read more

I LOVE drybar! Firstly Savannah and Hannah, the managers, run a tight ship and they put a lot of care in training their stylists. I have never had a bad experience, and I'm very confident that if I did by any small chance, that they would rectify the situation with complete diligence and compassion. There are a lot of options for blowouts in Austin but Drybar is at the top of the game. The stylists ask you a lot of questions about your hair and preferences and even have a look book for inspiration. I've overheard and been asked by stylists on most occasions if the style looks good and if there could be anything that needs fixing, etc. Their products are also very high performance. I have used many salon grade products (because I'm a product junkie) and Drybar products have taken over most of my collection. My favorite stylists downtown are: Brittnie Elayna Maz Leah Emilie I haven't seen any other girls at this location but I wouldn't hesitate to because I am surprised time and again how skilled these stylists are at smoothing and styling my very curly hair. I have great hair all the time because of Drybar! read more

Terrible!! myself and my daughters left the salon and 30 minutes later all our hair fell out of style and looks terrible. I went back in the store to complain and they offered to fix it but didn't offer to give my money back. Why would I let them "fix it" when they didn't do it right the first time. These people don't know what they are doing. read more

I booked an updo for yesterday at 2 pm. I not only arrived on time, but arrived early. At about 2:15 I was informed that they were short staffed. One employee offered to curl my hair while I waited but informed me she couldn't do an updo. While I had buffer in my schedule ultimately I had an event to attend so I spoke with the person that can do the updo and she told me I could leave without being charged. You can imagine my surprise when I got a "no show" email today. I upheld my end of the commitment as a patron by arriving early. Drybar did not. There were many better ways to handle the situation: 1) call me in advance to let me know the situation, 2) apologize (all but one employee acted like I had done something wrong), etc. I've been to multiple locations in multiple cities and I've never had an issue before. read more

Finally, finally, finally got to go to Drybar - albeit while I was on a work trip rather than in my hometown, but messy hair don't care ‍ As soon as I found that I had some free time, I went to their website, made an appointment and got in within the hour. It helped that it was a weekday at 10:15am. We talked about what style I wanted, then I got a shampoo/blow dry and she waved her magic wand (ok, it was a curling iron) - and Bibbidi-Bobbidi-BOO! I was ready for my evening event. She did a great job. Super pleased! read more

Love this place my favorite place to get a quick blowout. KAIT is the best there is!!!

I've had many blowouts in different cities and most the time they do just an ok job. I went to this location and was paired with Angela and I'm so glad! She is very friendly and did a fantastic job! Just the way I like my hair. She listens to what you want and is very professional. I have to be in Austin at least once a month and will definitely request her when I am in town and need a blowout! read more

I recently started going to this downtown location and found a wonderful stylist, Ananelly. She can work with all types of hair and her blowouts are nothing short of amazing! She's also very sweet and accommodating. Drybar, please open a location in Lakeway and bring Ananelly! I think it would be very lucrative as Lakeway women love a good blowout. read more

Literally makes my day to come in here!!! I LOOOVE getting my blowout by Karissa and Hannah. They are bomb hair stylists & I am addicted to their energy. I come in 2x a week now to the downtown austin location and I just wish I lived closer. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I love getting my hair washed and professionally styled and wanted to treat myself today before brunch. Went to the downtown Austin Drybar location and it was a good experience. I had an appointment at 10:30 and I maybe waited 10 minutes but I wasn't too stressed about it. The AC was broken which was definitely more painful for the stylist than me - I honestly don't know how they'll manage as the temperatures continue to increase (even today the morning started nice but quickly heated up). Everyone was very nice and helpful. I know stylists aren't miracle workers but I'm a little bummed that my hair poofed out a lot after my brunch (damn Austin/Texas humidity). I paid extra for an additional moisture treatment and the stylist said she also used a product for humidity but I'm not seeing any benefit for the $10 extra. Overall, great experience. It's definitely a pricy luxury but I don't indulge in getting my nails done so this seemed like a nice treat. I couldn't rate it 5 because I'd hope that for a location in humid Austin they'd have better humidity/frizz control products. read more

Was a fantastic experience start to finish!! Great Happy Hour deal. My stylist listened well to what I wanted, didnt try to upgrade me 500 times, and they were really safe with Covid! read more

I went twice before important interviews to get my hair done, and the lady assisting me (same one each time) made my hair look so messy and unprofessional. I tried to cancel my subscription because I did not find their services helpful. They still ended up charging me for this month even though I submitted my cancellation form more than a week in advance of the billing date. Terrible services and shady billing - overall would not recommend. read more
