I had the BEST experience at Drybar I have to give a huge shoutout to Samantha! From the moment I sat in her chair, she was warm, confident, and truly listened to what I wanted. She didn't just "do my hair" she crafted it. My blowout had the perfect balance of volume, smoothness, and movement. It looked polished but still natural, which is exactly what I love. The attention to detail was next level. She checked every section, refined the shape, and made sure it framed my face beautifully. What really stood out was her energy. She was professional, upbeat, and clearly passionate about her work. You can tell when someone takes pride in their craft and she absolutely does. I walked out feeling elevated, confident, and honestly a little unstoppable. read more

Still great, after years of coming here. I typically get the Southern Comfort with some add ons. But today was different. I had the amazing Samantha give me one of the best scalp massages ever. I literally almost passed out in the chair (in a good way) and I have never done drugs or anything my entire life but I imagine this is what getting high feels like. Ten minutes of heaven! 5 starts and will definitely come back and ask for Samantha! read more

Drybar does not respect your time. I booked a blowout appointment this morning around 10 AM for a 12:15 PM time slot. When I arrived, there were already four other people waiting for their appointments. After checking in, I noticed the front desk associate speaking quietly on the phone. A few moments later, she told me they were running behind and asked if I could push my appointment back by 45 minutes. While I understand that delays happen, I was disappointed that no one contacted me ahead of time to let me know. A quick call or message would have been a simple courtesy and would have saved me nearly 40 minutes of driving time round trip. It may be helpful for this location to review its online booking system to ensure appointment availability and timing are accurate. After reading other reviews, it seems my experience was not an isolated one. I wish I had looked into these other reviews beforehand. It was also freezing in the salon and they kept the door open despite it being 45 degrees outside. Work stations also looked messy and unorganized. read more

Amorianma is awesome! Highly recommend. She did a superb job, best blowout! Hair looks lovely

Recommend best place for beautiful hairstyle and love it! And also they are very friendly and good service.

Service was good and on time. Friendly and upbeat as well. Have been coming here for years and will continue to do so.

This is such a badly managed business. I've been here twice now and both times waited 45+ min for my appointment and this last one I just walked out as I did, I asked the stylist to make sure I don't get a cancellation fee, but of course they did charge me. The stylist themselves are very nice and clearly overworked. This is just badly managed. When you see that clients are waiting 30-45 min to get their service then maybe it's time to reevaluate how appointments are scheduled? And space them out more? Sounds like they are greedy and packing appointments in at the advantage of their clients and their staff. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME. read more

I come here twice a month and wish I could afford to come more often honestly. Everyone here is so nice and I always leave looking and feeling like a million bucks. Today Samantha gave me a heavenly head massage while washing my hair. This place is a dream. read more

Got a blowout from Amorianna today after having not been to a Drybar for awhile. She did an amazing job. My hair looks amazing, smooth blowout with big curls. Looking forward to this lasting for 5+ days!! She helped me check out with a deal on today and future blowouts. Looking forward to coming back in more often again! read more

Came to Drybar prior to my birthday celebration for a nice blowout with a reservation for me and my girlfriend. We waited for about 10 mins for our appointment time and were taken to have our hair washed. My hairdresser was friendly and her wash was alright, not great. The reason why i said that was because she has really long acrylic nails on and it seems she couldn't really work hard on the wash without risking snapping her nails off. I am not sure if that is the reason though. I opted for the Cosmothai? I think that is what it was called but it is this nice relaxed curled look. I was very happy with the look and they managed to finish both of us in less than hour. I am pretty happy with my hairdo after. Will come back if I have another event or party to go to! read more

I can't say enough good things about Sam . She is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and truly goes above and beyond for her clients. From the moment you sit in her chair, you feel taken care of -- she listens, gives honest recommendations, and makes sure you leave feeling confident and beautiful. She loves people and it shows thank you for my blow dry read more

I came into my appt and they told me, you won't be seen for at least 20 mins. I waited to 25 mins, when I could tell there was no way I would be seen anytime soon I had to leave how I had to be able to make my event! Why wouldn't they contact me and let me know- hey we are running 30 Mins late should we reschedule?!! I ended up getting a parking ticket, no hair done, late for my event!!! Just manage your schedule!!! read more

Samantha was incredible! She gave me a great scalp massage and wonderful overall experience! read more

My friend treated me to my first experience here and I should have trusted the negative reviews. Punctuality: very late & disorganized. Our appointment was at 9am, we received a call that they were 15minutes behind so we arrived at 9:10am and was not brought back until 9:45am. There were customers coming in and complaining that it happened to them multiple of times, delays happen but the shop opened at 8am. It sounds like this happens very frequently which is disrespectful of customers' time and not a great experience. Service - scalp treatment: my stylist walked away mid shampooing my hair to deal with an issue. She came back and barely gave me a massage and then she sent me to a styling chair while my hair was dripping down my neck. Scalp treatments are an extra charge, but it's not worth it - my shampoo, conditioning and scalp massage took less than 10minutes. Service - blowout: I went for a southern comfort for volume and loose curls. I wanted minimal products in my hair but my stylist still sprayed alot. My hair came out ok but did not resemble what was displayed in the stylebook. It just looks like regular curls which I could have done myself. My hair felt a bit crispy from the products and the amount of heat used for curling. Cleanliness: the floor is really slippery because all the products they use on people. I don't know if or how they clean the rollers, brush or curlers. I'd be concerned if someone had lice and the equipment were not properly cleaned. When I arrived in the back room for shampooing, I saw there was still hair in the drain from another customer. Experience: rushed, disruptive and not at all relaxing. My stylist kept having conversations with other stylists throughout my entire appointment. From shampooing to styling, she kept talking non stop and didn't check in to see how I was doing. At one point, the hairdryer got really hot on my scalp. I even let the stylist know it's my very first appointment so I was hoping for better engagement and walk- through. My appointment was rushed through because they were behind schedule with angry customers. Based on my experience and cost, I would not recommend coming here. read more

Samantha a great and the scalp massage, OH MY!!!! Five stars!! such a nice experience!

Bunny is my go to at dry bar Walnut Creek. Very consistent and personable. Great blow dry every week! Appreciate her.

Had a great stylist (Samantha) who quickly made up for the late start, worked efficiently, especially with the amount of hair I have, to get me out within an hour, resetting my mood for a great night out! read more

Great vibe, got an updo for date night on my birthday and I'm looking fresh would definitely return

Im torn writing this review....the gal who did my hair put a lot of care and thought into the styling and recommended some great products. She was sweet and often used uplifting words like queen, gorgeous, etc. Always nice to see females empowerig other females. She however put some "magical glossy something inbmy hair and THEN proceeded to mention it costs more. It was less than magical, let me tell you. Love dry bar products, but this was not it. The customer service though oooof. There is no rhyme or reason to check in system. Early? Late? On time? Doesn't seem to matter. Everyone that works there seems looked like theyd like to be anywhere but there. I mean I get it, its work but dang a smile or warm welcome will go a long way. I love getting my hair done, its definitely a luxury. I recommend the management team here finds ways to make the customer experience a little more of a priority . For the price and wait time....the luxury hair treatment can be found elsewhere. read more

I've been going to Dry Bar for two years, almost twice a month. The Service today, with Tia, was excellent. The salon has had some growing pains, but lately I see a much-improved establishment. Keep up the good job, Dry Bar. Pamela read more

Sammantha at Drybar is an absolute standout. I came in for a blowout and ended up getting one of the best scalp massages I have ever had, hands down. Not rushed, not mechanical, just genuinely relaxing and perfectly pressure balanced. It honestly felt like a mini spa treatment and completely melted my stress away. Beyond that, she was warm, attentive, and clearly knows what she is doing. My hair looked amazing, but the scalp massage alone is the reason I will be booking with her again. If you are someone who appreciates the little details that make an experience exceptional, ask for Sammantha. She is next level, I highly recommend her! read more

Great service, warm,friendly, professional with a splash of bubbly ! I recommend having a champagne tasting next door at Fizz with your girlfriends then getting a blow dry --best bff day ! read more

Karina is the absolute best at Drybar! She's sweet, hardworking, and has such a calm demeanor, but truly has magic hands. She gets you in and out quickly, and nails my looks every single time. Thank you, Karina! read more

Amazing service and had a great time. My stylist did a great job I didn't even know my hair could look like that!

Samantha was incredible, probably the best blowout I've had she installed my clip in extensions perfectly. definitely coming back

So great! Talented stylists and relaxing fun vibe In the shop. Perfect way to start the NYE festivities

This is hard for me to write because the actual stylist always do a great job and I love the way my hair turns out! The management on the other hand is horrible, 3 times in the last month and a half I've made my appointment weeks in advance and when I get there they tell me I have to wait 40 minutes plus or ask me to reschedule it which is ridiculous. They are always running 5+ people behind, so what is the point of making an appointment. read more

Lou from the Drybar!!! Oh my gosh, first time here and she exceeded my expectations. So sweet and absolutely killed it. I fear I need a blowout every month now lol thank you so much Lou you're the best!! read more

I had booked 5 people to get ready together before professional family photos for a major formal event over a month and a half before the event. At booking, I selected specific stylists with each person to be sure we didn't get someone who isn't good (there are some there who are really not good!) We were all there before our appointments. The first person was taken late, by the stylist I was supposed to see (I made the reservation and it was MY event). So they had to swap mid way and clearly didn't look at the reservations at all. The next person of 5 was taken about 20 minutes late was sat in the farthest chair away on my row for some reason even though the seat by me was open. The next few people in our party were slowly taken, never at the same time. My mom was sat on the clear other side so we weren't near each other and I couldn't see her or be a part of this day which was the whole point. My aunt taken 45 minutes late! That is the entire length of the the appointment while 2 of us were almost done! Only 2 of the 5 were near each other, none taken on time. We couldn't see or talk to each other and it was just a MAJOR FAIL. Further, I couldn't even direct gratuity to the stylists had done a better job and/or not 45 mins late! Since I covered them all I had to give a tip that would be split. That was beyond frustrating too. Not a good way to go into an event on a big day. I cancelled my membership that day on site. read more

I'm incredibly frustrated. I LOVE Drybar, but I had a terrible experience at Dry Bar Walnut Creek. 1st I planned out the appointment for an event in advance. They then called me the morning of the event, inquiring if I could come in earlier because they wouldn't be able to get me in because there was a larger party and a worker called out. Then they were unable to successfully give me the look I have had 2 other dry bars do impeccably. Next they over charged me $15 for the braid they didn't do. I came back to get a refund for the mistake and was ignored in the lobby. When I was finally acknowledged, by what seemed to be the store owner, she asked me to write my contact information down so she could refund me later. In doing so I put the mini hairspray I bought on the counter to write my information down, I mistakenly left it on the counter in my desperation to remedy my hair situation. I left dry bar unhappy, having to fix my own hair before the event. I called back the next day to request the refund for the braid and the hair spray mini, and no answer. Called back a few days later, no answer. Now it's been a couple of weeks, still no return call or refund. Now I'm frustrated. read more
