I was extremely disappointed with my blowout experience. I asked for the "old fashioned" style with loose, big, uniform waves, but what I received were very tight curls that looked nothing like what I requested. I felt like I was going to my high school prom. This blowout was especially important to me because it was for my maternity photoshoot--something I've been planning and looking forward to for a very long time. When I got home, I tried brushing the curls out to loosen them, as I was told they would fall, but they would not loosen at all. I even tried adding water, and that still didn't help. Unfortunately, the curls stayed tight and didn't give the soft, loose look I was hoping for. In the end, I had no choice but to put my hair up for the photos. I was honestly so sad and unhappy about it that I felt like crying. This was a moment I really wanted to feel my best in, and the hairstyle just didn't align with what I had envisioned or asked for. I've been to this location (River Oaks Houston) before and had a wonderful blow out, so it was just this specific person. That being said, the stylist herself was very nice, kind, professional, and I don't have any issues with her personally. She did tell me the curls would fall once I brushed them out at home, but sadly, that never happened. I just wish the style matched what I requested, but it was so far off. If I had the time I would have just washed my hair and curled myself when I got home but I had to go straight to my photo shoot. I even thought about rescheduling the shoot to another weekend but I would have lost the deposit. I am so disappointed given how meaningful this occasion was for me. read more

As a Retail Consumer Science + Psychology student (and Barfly member!), I'm deeply aware that retail is more than a transaction -- it's a relationship, and today Drybar proved why I continue to be loyal to this brand. Let's start with the human side: There was a small scheduling mix-up (AM/PM confusion) -- likely a combo of human error and app UX that could use a little refinement for newer users like me. I'll be honest, at first I felt a little lost after calling a couple times with no follow-up. But then came Donell -- and everything changed. To say Donell went above and beyond is an understatement. He's not just a stylist; he's a retail relationship-builder. His communication was clear, his tone was professional and kind, and most importantly, he made me feel seen, heard, and valued. He not only reassured me that I would be credited, but also offered a thoughtful incentive -- on him, on Drybar. That may seem small, but in the world of retail loyalty and customer satisfaction? It's everything. As a student who studies brand equity, consumer trust, and emotional loyalty, this interaction reminded me that even when things go wrong, the way a brand recovers is what creates customer lifetime value. Donell embodied all of that. I left the call feeling appreciated, not dismissed. I've been consistently seeing my fave stylist, Valerie, and always leave my appointments feeling polished, confident, and pampered. My Drybar blowouts have truly become part of my self-care, self-respect ritual. And thanks to Donell, that tradition continues. To anyone considering becoming a Barfly: do it. To Drybar HQ: Donell is gold -- his customer-first mindset turned what could've been a frustrating moment into a memory that actually deepened my loyalty. I'm excited for my next appointment, and proud to share this experience -- not just as a happy client, but as someone who's learning the science of what makes brands unforgettable. read more

This review, once again could have gone differently, but the staff member who answered my call a second time saved the day. I was running roughly 25 minutes late to my appointment due to an accident on the road plus traffic. It's Houston. And the staff member initially told me that because my appointment slot is 30 minutes and I was running so late, that they wouldn't be able to squeeze me in since I missed my window. But TBH, I begged. It was the day of my holiday party and no one else would be available. Nonetheless, they took me in. I believe I got the same stylist as last year but I didn't catch her name this time. She's amazing, meticulous, friendly and the perfect stylist for me. I had a great experience and will definitely be coming back. I read more

I went for my birthday to get a blowout I wanted volume and curled ends. The way my hair was done was great but the experience was terrible. I hate to be the one to write a bad review but since I went I've been so insecure about my hair. For context I have thin fine hair and I get highlights once a year I sat down in the chair and her first comment she makes is that my hair is oily which didn't bother me my hair gets oily fast I know this and she adjusted my shampoo to be a double shampoo with conditioner only on the ends which I appreciated still. Then once we sat down it just kept going downhill. She starts criticizing the products I use saying my heat protectant weighs down my hair (which it's known to be great for thin fine hair so that's not true). She's then trying to detangle my hair with a round brush and just ripping at my ends. I'm just sitting there trying to enjoy myself then she proceeds to ask me in the rudest tone "so like... how often do you bleach your hair" I respond by saying only once a year and then she goes "oh... your ends are realllyyy stringy and damaged" I just sit there no knowing what to say or how to respond to that? She continues on and makes several other comments about how my hair is tangling about how my ends are damaged etc. I asked if she had recommendations to help me to try to make the conversation positive, but she tells me she has no recommendations and just continues to tear me down. Like I said I hate leaving negative reviews but I probably think about the comments she made once a day since this experience and I think it's worth other people knowing going into an appointment here. Extremely rude, and very disappointing trying to enjoy myself getting my hair done for my birthday. read more

Anahi and Donnell are the best! Always get me in and out on time and use products according to the weather (Hello Houston humidity!) If I am doing a different style for an event, they knock it out of the park! read more

i can't say enough good things about this Dry Bar. it's clean, the front desk staff is wonderful to work with and Stephanie is an amazing stylist. I do not live in Houston but back in 2016 I needed my hair done while we were in town. I was very leery of having my hair styled at a Dry Bar salon because of a bad experience at one in north Texas. the staff assured me that I would have a positive experience and Stephanie was my stylist. I was hooked and I continue to be impressed by her and this salon. I make a point of getting my hair styled there every time I'm in Houston! read more

Loved my experience at Dry Bar! My appointment was on time and the stylist (Justin) I was assigned did a fantastic job. Justin did exactly what I asked and I was able to relax and check emails. I left 45 minutes later with terrific hair and went straight to my next meeting. Dry Bar is a huge time saver! read more

Amarie was fantastic! This is the best dry bar I've been to! Clean, on-time, actually cares about the customer's wants and needs... I highly recommend! read more

Nira was an amazing stylist! She asked me a lot of specific questions about my hair (e.g., does it hold curl, does it frizz and where, etc.) and fine-tuned the blowout for my hair. It looked wonderful that evening and even stayed set the next day (which never happens with my fine hair). Beyond that, I was having a difficult day, and Nira was so kind and personable without intruding. I will 100 percent be back and will ask for Nira! read more

I had a terrible experience here. The hairdresser broke my hair from excessive pulling while detangling and burned it during the blow-drying process, leaving it so damaged that I had to cut it off afterward. I left in tears and extremely disappointed. If you have curly hair, I strongly advise to be careful who you let style your hair, many stylists don't seem to understand how delicate it is. read more

My hair is short and curly. Not very complicated. They did a horrible job and within two hours I had straight hair hanging and no style to it. I wish I had not gone at all - my hair looked better before they touched it. In addition, not the cleanest place. Avoid. So many better places. read more

Valeria took care of me today and I can't say better things about her and her work! I booked last minute and they still got me in early! Valerie took extra care during my scalp treatment and shampoo, then my blowout was fabulous! I'm a hair dresser so I'm super picky! read more
