My go to blowout salon. My hair always looks great. Stylists are nice and professional. The hair wash feels like a massage.

I booked the first appointment of the day. I arrived a few minutes late only to learn that my stylist was even later. By the time we got started, it was 15 minutes after my scheduled time. This was unfortunate because I was on a tight schedule, and hoped that by booking the first appointment of the day, I would get started on time. The stylist was very sweet and we had a really nice conversation. While I wasn't able to get the full look I wanted because of the late start and the time crunch, she did my hair well and incredibly efficiently. read more

Super clean and stylist was kind and very skilled! I got the "old fashioned" blowout for a wedding and it turned out AMAZING! Quick online booking, had to wait about 15 minutes to be taken back after checking in, but my style was still completed within the time I had planned. Easy check out. Best part? The style lasted all night long and into the next day! I got so many compliments. I will absolutely be back to this location! read more

The person at the front desk was not at all friendly, to the point where I would have left if they didn't have my credit card on file. I had called to reschedule my appointment and she sighed and acted very annoyed. Then when I checked out after my blowout, I used a gift card and she gave me a dirty look and sighed and made it very clear the extra work was annoying. She even told me the digital gift card didn't work (it did) as if it was a ploy for me to pay cash. Once I asked her to read the number back to me to confirm it was right, it suddenly worked. The blowout itself was fine but I felt like the stylist was going through the motions. I've had good experiences at other Drybar locations, but this one really was underwhelming read more

I had such a good blowout from Latoya! Go see her right now! She was so gentle with washing and careful blowdrying my grown-out extensions not to pull too hard. She curled my hair perfectly and it looked flawless when she was finished! Thank you!! read more

I'm paying for a blow out, not to: - Listen to you complain about your job - Have you eat food while working on my hair - Remind you to brush starting at the bottom with curly hair... - Get an attitude for asking to see the hairstyle book All that and it was raining so maybe just be happy you had the three people in there that you did. read more

Whenever I am in town I make an appt for a blowout at this location. Thday always do an amazing job. I had an appt with Alex last week and he gave me the best blow out I have ever had!! If I lived in NY I would come here often. Had an appt, arrived early and they took me with no problem. highly recommend. read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! Second the previous posters - this location is a huge rip-off. I purchased a 3 blowout package on Feb 20 which was due to expire in 6 months (180 days). I called this location on August 18th to ask about package expiration and was told it would be tomorrow (19th). 180 days from Feb 20 is Aug 19. So I booked my last remaining blowout for this day. After the blowout, I was told the package was no longer showing up in their system. The manager was rude and dismissive and told me she'll have to go ahead and charge the card on file but will get back to me within a day. Since then, there has been no update. If you're looking for service, there are many other shops nearby with better service and quality. Would give 0 stars if I can. read more

Got to my 8:30am appt on time and was told that they were running 15 minutes late. No problem. 45 minutes later still waiting. I had to just walk out at that point because I was going to be late for a meeting. If they had been open with me from the beginning, I would have rescheduled. But instead, I wasted 45 minutes and got no service. read more

I couldn't recommend this location more. 10/10 The staff is highly qualified, passionate and professional. The facilities are always top shape and clean. I always leave here feeling amazing and spoiled. Thank you Drybar Flatiron for making me feel like a queen every time. I look forward to returning each time I come to NYC P.S. Dominique is AMAZING read more

Visiting from out of town for work and needed a fresh blow out my friend recommended Dry Bar. Made a reservation for same day appointment. Was greeted by a super nice receptionist sorry I didn't get her name. My stylist greeted me right away and was very attentive. I got a fresh blow dry with curls and it came out fabulous. I loved all the products they used on my hair. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Will definitely visit again next time I am in the city. read more

Drybar - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - New York, New York

I had a 5 star blowout from Victorina. She was fabulous. Everyone in the salon was kind. The look of the salon once I stepped inside was a huge disappointment. It is dirty. The chandelier's have a build up of dirt hanging on them, every corner is filled with dirt build up, the moldings everywhere were filthy. The paint everywhere is well worn. Can't Drybar afford to keep the place clean and not completely worn out looking? Not sure I will go back despite the beautiful blowout I received as the overall feeling there was depressing read more

I got a blowout by Sophia M. Normally I wouldn't pay for a service like this, but I was visiting NYC and unable to check into my hotel so I couldn't wash, blow dry, and style my own hair. The stylist gave me a very quick shampoo and did not condition. She did not put mousse, heat protectant, or any styling product in my hair which I thought was standard for a blowout? The stylist did not part my hair, which resulted in my layers being uneven. I asked for a Manhattan, which is a smooth, straight, and sleek style. She started to CURL my hair with a CURLING IRON. Yes, I corrected her. The flat iron was then turned all the way up to 490 degrees with no heat protectant. I could literally hear my hair drying off. She did an overall bad job styling it. My hair does not look smooth or straight. I was not given a chance to look in the mirror before I was literally rushed up to the front desk and out the door. Won't be back! read more

Tori took care of me yesterday and did a great job! She was kind, proactive and I left happy.

45 minutes late for all appts - they need to schedule better or call if they are going to be this late. People have other things going on, waste of time read more

Arrived on time for my 7:15 pm appointment and when I asked at 7:40 when I would be taken was told by the receptionist that the stylist was tired and had left. He was going to try to find me another stylist. After another 20 minutes and no communication I inquired again and the receptionist was short with me but told me yes he had found someone. I was taken at 8:30 pm by a lovely stylist who stayed late. I appreciated her but the overall experience was not good. Wish I could recommend the Village or Bloomies locations but I've also experienced late appointments and customer service issues at both those DryBars. Please be sure to leave yourself plenty of time. read more

We got last minute appointments to have a blowout before a show and all of us (there were 3) loved our hair. I had Dwayne and he did a great job with my unruly hair. They got us right in at our appointment time! read more

Victoria made my hair look incredible! She knows her stuff Will definitely be booking with her again

The girl that did my hair was absolutely ridiculous. When washing my hair she was twisting it into a pony tail so tight that i thought it was going to be ripped out of my head. I have thick hair and not much hurts me, but this was absolutely wild. I then told her that I wanted loose beach waves and pointed to the exact picture in the book of hair styles that she gave me. She blows my hair out, painfully might i add, and then continues to curl my hair with a straightener ?! I was appalled at the entire experience. She hurt me, ruined my hair for a very important event and also broke off several pieces of my hair. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

I'm sure there is probably a range of skillsets across the staff at drybar. Unfortunately, my last visit was with someone who really did not know what they were doing. I came in because I had an event I wanted my hair to look extra good for, and left with it looking worse than I could've done myself. My hair is healthy and not finicky. I always leave my regular salon appointments with it looking smooth and nice. You can see from the picture that is not what happened at drybar. They also handled my hair super rough. I was concerned about damage from how hard the stylist was pulling. I have never had that experience at a salon before. I would advise not using this place for an important event, or at least reading through reviews to find a stylist other people like if you absolutely have to. I wanted the simplest blowout--straight with a little volume. I did not want it flatironed and I didn't want it curled. The stylist did not seem to understand this concept. I am not a hair professional, but every other salon I have been to in my life has been able to blowout my hair using a round brush. It was a really disappointing experience. They also didn't even offer me a coffee or water, which would've helped ease the spiritual pain of going to my event looking like a lighting strike victim. read more

Drybar - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - New York, New York

NOT WORTH 60$! Booked 3 appointments for 9:15 and the doors weren't even open when we arrived. One person in my party wasn't even seated until 9:45! Blowout curls lasted about 10 minutes and completely fell. Extremely rude and aggressive service. Don't waste your money or time here. read more

I've had good experiences with Drybar, but the Flatiron (on the first and only visit) location did not meet the standard. Despite confirming a pin straight blowout (and showing a picture to add volume at the crown and bangs) I left with my hair looking curly at the bottom and pin straight on the sides. Unfortunately I did not have the time to sit through additional time to get it fixed. I will likely need to reset and use a straightening tool at home to get what I need. Not satisfactory at all for almost $70 of charges. read more

Had a great experience at drybar! Didn't leave with the style I was going for (big waves), but the more beach waves I left with were beautiful and I was very happy with my hair! read more

I've given this location multiple chances and after my last experience I've given up. The stylist used her long, acrylic nails to wash and brush my hair. My hair knots super easily, so she was forcing her nails through my hair instead of using a brush (like wtf??). It was quite painful and I was on edge the entire time. She also put 0 effort into parting my hair so it just looked like a mess all weekend. Overall a horrible experience. read more

DO NOT GO TO DRYBAR!!!! The correct name is RIP OFF BAR!! I booked an "Up-Tini" with a 1 hour + 15 minute schedule. The appointment consisted of the stylist putting 12 bobby pins and one elastic and spraying about 3 seconds of product on my hair over the course of 20 minutes. NOTHING MORE. It was clear that they did not plan to spend the full 1+ hour on my hair because another client was waiting for her appointment and filled my chair as soon as I got up to pay. Not only was I charged $99 for a 20 minute appointment and a simple "up do" on my thin, shoulder length (NO extensions, layers, etc. - just straight, blonde shoulder length) hair, but the DEFAULT tip was set at 24% ranging up to 32%!!! REALLY!!! Overcharging and then expecting such a large tip!?!??!??!? I almost didn't leave a tip at all but if the charges and default tip amounts are established by the franchise holder, I didn't want to make a statement at the expense of the stylist so I left a 15% tip instead of my usual 20%. DO. NOT. GO. TO. DRYBAR. DYRBAR IS A RIP OFF!!!!!!! Patronize stylists that want to earn your great reviews and tips by providing their professional services at reasonable rates and that means you DO NOT GO TO DRYBAR!!!! read more

hair stylist was great but who runs a hair salon for weeks in the heat of summer without air conditioning

Five stars for Usha Two stars for the others Stopped by with my sister-in-law for two 3pm appointments. My SIL was seen on time. I ended up waiting 15 min, for no reason other than "oh, I haven't made it a priority to tell the stylist you're here." My stylist, Vic, was neither friendly nor thorough with straightening. I had to ask her to use heat protectant spray, and to get the hair by my ears. I have thick, long hair, so was surprised she didn't use any clips to divide into sections. I felt very uncomfortable with the whole experience. After my shotty job, I went to sit by my SIL (side note - even though everyone knew we were together, and there were empty seats next to both of us, we were not allowed to sit together) . Anyway, not only was Usha extremely warm and kind with the way she worked w my SIL and her hair, but she also offered to fix all of sections on *my* hair that were missed by Vic. To say she offered exceptional service is an understatement. read more

Absolute joke. I came here last weekend and I'm still so angry about it. First of all I was told my appointment would be 45 minutes long so I planned a lunch reservation based off of that time frame. It took an hour and 10 minutes and for why, I do not know. So I missed the reservation I had made for 30 minutes after when I thought I'd be done and was charged by the restaurant for it. My two huge issues however have nothing to do with the misleading quote time. For one, my hair did not hold up AT ALL! I asked for the mai Tai and as I was in the salon my hair looked absolutely amazing. I felt like a million bucks. However by the time I got home an hour later to get ready for my day (sans lunch reservation) I looked in the mirror and saw all my curls had vanished. It was not raining that day and it was not windy but somehow my fresh blowout didn't last even an hour. My stylist kept saying he was doing my curls tight so that it would last and the next day would be my best day. Yeah right!!!! I had to spend 40 minutes at home Curling my hair with my own drybar Curling iron just to get it close to looking how it did before I walked out the door! Why waste my time, money and energy for a blowout that didn't last even my commute home?! Secondly, this was my first blowout from drybar so I had a $10 off coupon. At the end I noticed it wasn't applied and I asked. The receptionist said she gave it to my friend who came in with me instead. Once again it was MY coupon. I booked MY appointment with it and she messed up. When I tried showing her my email confirmation for the coupon for my appointment and the one for my friends she just said "sorry. I can't do anything about it." I've since sent two emails to customer service explaining the absolute nightmare this has been and I've heard NOTHING! I love drybar products. Every single tool and product in my bathroom is all drybar. So to be let so down and to be taken such advantage of by this company is an absolute travesty. They should be arrested for the pure thievery and breach of contract they showcased on my appointment. Absolutely disgusting trash human behavior by a huge corporation. I will never use them ever again. read more

Booked a blowout for a friend and I when we were visiting NYC. I am a member at Drybar in Colorado and love it. However, this Drybar is one word: disgusting. The floors, chandeliers, wash room are so dirty. Hair everywhere and built up dust and dirt. My stylist used a brush that had other people's hair in it. Not sanitary. The stylists are unprofessional, on their phones, not dressed nice. It's just not up to normal Drybar standards. Would not return. read more

I went to Drybar for years in Los Angeles and it was such an amazing experience. They had amazing customer service. You were offered a glass of champagne and watched rom coms. I went to this location and was sad to see how this brand deteriorated. This experience was such a joke. They were so rude. They hardly touched my head during the shampoo, they hardly even styled my hair. They just made my wet hair dry and then charged me 100 bucks. I feel like if I hosed down my own head and then walked outside on a windy day, it would've looked the same. Later Drybar! read more

Unfortunately I read the reviews too late. The front desk and customer service was incredibly unhelpful. Customer service said they could get me in early. The front desk was basically like "Umm No". And then they called me late. The stylist however was wonderful. Soo... I'll have to decide if I will ever put up with the BS again. read more

Did not like my experience. It lacked finesse. My blow dry was by far the worst I have ever had. Clips were dirty. Too much chatter about clients whilst attending clients?! Highly unprofessional. I will not be back. read more

It's so refreshing to be able to book an appointment before work and still arrive before a 9 am meeting. I go to this location when I need a simple no frills blow out usually when trying to stretch out my new growth right before getting a color touch up at my primary salon. It is also close to the train so I don't have to walk far from the station. I have never had a problem with them being late for appointments and I always manage to get to work on time before 9 am. I am always surprised at the number of people who also book early morning appointments as it looks like a typical Saturday morning when I arrive. I don't ask or schedule with any stylist in particular, however each stylist that I have used has been able to manage my naturally curly hair with no problem. read more

Gotta say this is a tough review. Really uneven work depending on who does your hair. I've had a few great ones, some ok and then the ones whose hands stink of cigarettes that try to upsell you on their private services. Not very professional nor nice. I love the Drybars in LOS ANGELES and have always gotten a great blowout at those locations -but I cannot say the same about FI location. read more

Had an appt for an up tini for a black tie event. When we arrived, I could already tell the facility was run down and not clean. My stylist hardly spoke to me during my service and my style was horrible (even though I showed several pictures and the stylist acted as though she was able to execute with no issues). When I was finished she did not even show me the back of my hair or ask if there were any changes that she should make. She just told me "okay you're done". As soon as I got back to my hotel, my hair was already falling out of the updo style. I would never go back to this place. With the drybar brand, I would've expected a very different experience. read more

Lisa was absolutely awesome when it came to updo's. I had a really big presentation this week for my masters program and I needed a nice updo to keep hair out of my face for filming and Lisa did a beautiful side braid that went into a bun. I got tons of compliments and the pricing was reasonable. I love Drybar because everyone is friendly and they always offer you a drink and have free little cookies. I would suggest you get hairspray when you leave. A few girls from my class didn't put that much product and within a few hours hair style was completely flat. Anyway, Lisa rocks!!!! read more

This location is the worst. I have been 2-3 times and they are always running late. My last appointment, they took me a full half hour after my scheduled time. When I asked how much longer (since I had a very important event to go to), they weren't apologetic and just said "it happens." They act like a factory trying to move volume versus offering you the fun luxury getting ready experience that you are paying a premium for. My last stylist was very rough and had an attitude when I asked a question. Book somewhere else! read more

I have been to Drybars across the country and this is by far the WORST experience I've EVER had getting a blow out. Due to the coronavirus the Drybar location near me is closed so I have visited this one twice. The first visit went fine, decent blowed out curls. However, my visit today started off terribly. I booked an appointment for 10am and when I arrived on time all of the stylists and manager were standing outside the salon. They somewhat apologized and said they were waiting for someone to bring the keys (I assumed another manager). Ten minutes later, to my surprise, a man drove up to the salon rolled down the window and the manager walked over grabbed the keys and kissed him (I'm assuming her partner) goodbye in front of her entire staff and clients. She then invited me and another client in to a dark salon which had obviously not been properly prepped for opening. The time it took to turn on all the lights, music, staff to put things away, set up stations, and overall dawdling caused an obvious delay. Also, they took almost no proper Covid-19 precautions!! When I sat down I told my stylist I wanted curls with the blow dryer, which I have gotten before from this very salon (and is the simplest possible request). I told her that I don't want to put the heat of a curling iron on my color treated hair. She started my blow dry and I noticed that SHE IS WATCHING THE MOVIE they have on and basically just messy drying my hair as I would at home. As we get to the end she insults me by saying: "YOUR HAIR WON'T CURL BECAUSE IT'S COLOR TREATED, SO UH ONCE YOU GET YOUR HAIR HEALTHY IT WILL." (Another stylist had done blown out curls last week at the same location with no problems). I told her no, it isn't in curls because you need to clip up each section after you blow it dry with a round brush. I then pointed to the woman next to me whose hair had been put into clips. Then, she was like "oh uhh clips..." At this point I just wanted to leave so I told her just to finish it however. It looks WORSE than if I had just let it dry at home myself. I understand what it's like to work in a store, you need the proper amount of time before opening especially during COVID-19, they should NEVER let clients book appointments this early if nothing is going to be sanitized and you aren't even able to enter the salon. I will NEVER GO BACK to this location & you should definitely SKIP IT!!! read more

On top of the usually sub-par service, today's experience was beyond, and deserves noting. What an incredibly rude "bartender". She could not explain the Drybar charges on my receipt. She was rude, obnoxious, antagonistic, fresh. She refused to tell me her name (I don't have a name", she wisecracked, as she spun on her heels and walked away). How far you have fallen. Drybar should be ashamed to employ people like this. I will be sure to never return. read more

This was by far the WORST blow dry experience I have ever had. The woman who did my hair was inexperienced and negligent, at best. I am disappointed I didn't stop the blow dry as it was happening but I had no idea one could cause so much damage in such a short amount of time. The woman who did my hair had no idea what she was doing - she literally ripped rollers out of my hair (causing significant damage to the top of my head), poked me with clips that were not intended for the way she was using them, jerked and pulled my hair while drying it, attempted to use a flat iron that was set at 450° on my hair - after already causing significant heat damage - and then was clearly bothered when I was visibly upset by the outcome. Christie stepped in to help but the damage was done. The most disappointing part - the manager, Margot, has been completely unresponsive, dismissive and unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend this experience to anyone. read more
