I was a bit nervous coming because of the low rating on Yelp. However, it was better on google reviews. I won a free blowout so it didn't hurt to try it out. Booking was pretty straight forward, but it didn't let you select a stylist. My hair is very thick, long and curly, so I'm very particular about who touches my hair. I did flag that in my appointment. When I arrived, I checked in and waited a few minutes to be seen. Kay was my stylist. She took me to the back to wash and detangle my hair. I let her know I wanted a sleek blowout. She was quick and gentle with my hair. We blew it out and flat ironed as well. Because my hair went over the 45 min block, I had to pay a $15 fee. I totally understand. Kay did an amazing job and gave me her info. I would definitely return to her!

This is absolutely the best Dry Bar ever! I've been to other locations in other states and it's always been a bit awkward but here the staff was just a whole vibe. I came with my daughter and had an amazing experience from the moment we checked in with Khyia. Myles, Jasmine and China were beyond professional. I laughed, got great recommendations for our add ons and will definitely be back from now on. My blow out was even better than the other Dry Bars I have gone too! I will make the drive into the city just to go here!

I didn't take pic day of but this is next day (with no touch ups!)

Full disclosure- I received a free blowout (minus tip) as a Yelp elite but I had a great experience here! I requested the Mai Tai and my stylist executed perfectly. She used the appropriate product and my hair felt super soft. I also liked that she asked if I wanted hairspray. My hair holds a curl naturally and I hate hairspray so that was a plus! I would def come back to this location again. Only note is parking is tough - not Drybar's fault but the surrounding lots are designated for other stores so it was difficult to find where I could park. They advised there is a side street but I only saw permit parking.

UPDATE: I reached out to email probided below. It failed. Surprise. Treated my recent college grad to a blowout yesterday. She asked for a round brush blowout and came out with flat lifeless hair. I was also charged for extra time which was not authorized nor requested. A complete waste of money and ridiculously priced!

Worst blow-out ever

Yes they can- I have tape ins and they can. If it's clips I assume they'd charge more but not too hard

I am obsessed with this place! I've been here 3 times for hair (twice) and makeup (3 times with two…read moredifferent artists) and the team nailed it each visit! I'm really impressed with their business model because it's damn hard to find great makeup artists and hair stylists that stick to a pretty solid routine so you know what to expect. I feel like Goldplaited is the like the Lettuce Entertain You of hair and beauty. Like... you can ask for completely different styles or even get different makeup artists (like when you walk into different LEY restaurants) but the level of service and outcome is consistently on point to your level of satisfaction. One time I asked for a stylish pony, another time vintage hair half up/half down, and both times I was obsessed! The makeup artists know how to make you look natural but elevated. Your skin looks like your skin, just better. For make up, I've requested twice (from two different artists) "a natural, me - just better, look," and also a soft glam warm smokey eye - all of which were PERFECT! I did not have to touch up through out the day. All I did was either add more moisturizing spray or UD's All Nighter Spray. Note: If you want airbrush, request it beforehand when you make your reservation. An added plus is that these artists have RANGE! I'm in my 30s but I've seen ladies with mature skin (50+), Gen Z, I mean the skin types ran the gamut and all of the ladies that walked out of there looked beautiful AF. Not to mention the different hair types and requests that they knocked out of the park. The girl that did my hair (twice) was confident and knew exactly what to do even with a brief description or photo. Her confidence gave me confidence knowing she knew her sh*t. And my hair came out perfect every time. The place is very clean and I've consistently seen the artists wash their brushes between each new client. Making appointments online is easy and metered parking is always easy to find. The makeup and beauty industry can be hit or miss but whoever is hiring/training at this place deserves a damn award. And of course, the artists there are just SO talented. If you've got an event, check this place out! You won't be disappointed.

Since I was working and didnt see the text sent at 3pm today, I just saw it now at 8pm, I cant make any changes to my appointment as the business is closed and my card has already been charged. Pretty much sounds like a stylist or receptionist just texted me trying to scam me out of $25 just to put in their pocket because why was this not on the website when I booked an "early bird"? When I checked out, I agreed to pay $60. First and last time customer.

I decided to book Blowout Junkie for my bridal party hair. I initially emailed them per their…read morewebsite request to get something started but I also just booked 7 appointments for the morning of my wedding through the phone just in case. It was good I did that because no one responded to my email and I was on a crunch with my wedding 2 weeks away. I probably called an additional 2 times before the wedding day to ensure my appointments were still on the calendar and to confirm the artists. They were able to have 3 stylists so the day started at 7:45AM until 10:00AM. Blowouts include a wash for $55 and Updos don't include a wash and are $95. Everyone was on time which was great. We had 2 blowouts and 5 updos for the party. I think everyone's hair looked great. There was one auntie that was not happy about her updo (but she didn't voice it) so I don't blame the hair stylist on that and believe that the stylist would have fixed it had she said anything. It's important to note (with any stylist) to bring lots of examples of what you want so the stylist knows or to bring photos of ideas and they can choose what might look best for you. Overall, I had a good experience with Blowout Junkie!

They used to have a signature blow out that was amazing. None of the current stylists can do it…read more Blow outs don't last They Book you with someone different than who you originally book with Over Charge you

It's not a big space at all, but it wasn't very clear where to go, and there was no one at the front desk when I approached. The space was clean and bright but a bit worn down and tired. I also don't like that they try to upsell you about add-ons. They already do this when you book! Once is enough...! The woman who washed my hair and styled it/blow dried it was friendly and kind. She took her time, which is not itself bad, but it might be surprising if you book a 45 minute appointment and are in any sort of rush. I think $64 is a bit steep, especially since there are quality blowout spots that aren't that much, even today!

My hair is perfectly blown out and exactly what I was looking for.

I…read moresaw that there were so many good reviews for Alison so I thought I would have a great experience. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I told her that I wanted to try some light curtain bangs but was worried because my hair is really thick and I had never had bangs before. Not only did she cut short, thick, blocky bangs that didn't look like the picture I showed at all. I told her that I didn't like them and it would be nice if she could blend them in with the rest of my hair. She told me that it wasn't possible and that curtain bangs are meant to be blocky and short (I don't think she knows what the trending hairstyle looks like. She admitted she needed to ask more questions. ) Then she told me to schedule another appointment with her in a few months after my hair had grown out to come back and have her cut it again.... She tried but honestly it was the worst haircut of my life and I would not recommend her to anyone.
