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

Love the experience! I was nervous to come but the staff made me feel so comfortable. Amorianna was fantastic! She did my style perfectly.

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

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

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

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

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

First time at the Dry Bar and the service was great. I will definitely be back. And recommend to anyone thinking of trying it.

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

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

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

Amorianna did an amazing job! Very professional and courteous. Love my blow out and highly recommend this place. It's clean, on time, products used are amazing and smell nice but not too strong. Recommend adding the head massage :) read more

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

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

Excellent service! First time customer & loved the entire experience! Definitely will be back

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

Angelina was fantastic, kind, and thoughtful in doing my hair. I love coming to this salon. They are very accommodating.

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

Everyone at this location is always so kind and welcoming! Monique did an awesome job with my hair! I'll def be back

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

Amorianna is the best! She is so sweet and really listened to what I wanted. My hair turned out amazing! And I was in and out quickly!

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

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

Amorianna crushed it. They were on time for my appointment, my hair turned out great and it was so relaxing.

Came here go get a blow out for dinner out with my friends. Loved the way my waves turned out. Def will be coming back

Mom and I booked appointments for wedding blow out and up-do for my brothers wedding the same day. We arrived on time, but the shop was running 20 minutes late, which made us late for our make up appointments. At the end of our service they told us they ran out of hairspray. To make the whole thing worse, within an hour of leaving the dry bar our hair fell completely flat and looked awful. (Bad enough that when we returned people asked if we missed our wedding party hair service) The shop charged us $166 for two styles, and we ultimately had to pay a different salon to fix our hair before the event at the last minute. I would not recommend these services for any occasion. read more

I've been a Barfly member for a while now and really quite frustrated with this location. They're always late, so disorganized. I cleared my schedule, came in for my 2:15 appointment on time, a few other guests walked in for their 2 PM appointment very late. They took them despite being so late and told me I'd have to wait until 3:15 for my appointment. Maybe at least offer me something like an upgrade or a complimentary session? Instead when I said I'd rather just cancel my session instead of waiting that long they said "We'll cancel it without a fee then." This was particularly bad - but every other time I've come here they don't follow appointment times and I end up waiting 15-20 mins despite having an appointment. I'll probably be canceling my membership given how bad the organization and service is at this location. read more

Amorianna was amazing! She was on time, quick, efficient, and amazing! I had to bring my 6-year-old daughter, and she was so sweet and patient with her. Thank you so much, because at that age it's super hard to keep them entertained, and she did it while making my hair look fabulous. Thanks so much again! read more

We had 7 appt to get our hair done for a wedding. They were down 1 employee, did not let us know. They kept taking later appt before they were done with our party. (4 people) we were going to be late to wedding so 2 people could not get their hair done. Not apologetic. Lied and said they would not take others before us. Now we are all pissed before a joyous event! These people suck and are horribly mismanaged. read more

Amorianna is the absolute best!! She is so personable, always has a smile and just knows exactly what I want every time! I choose different styles every time I go in and she always does a fantastic job! read more

I absolutely love coming to this drybar solely because of their staff. Always so welcoming, kind, and incredibly helpful. They are all very gentle with your hair, always makes sure that you are happy with the end result.

Amoriana is a gifted stylist. She is someone who works with amazing swiftness without taking short cuts. Not solely a stylist but a hair educator who shares hair secrets and her insight generously. My hair is beautiful and has always been beautiful. I take very good care of it and Amoriana's techniques really support my hair journey. This Dry Bar location is beautiful, clean and inviting. Every staff member I've interacted with is kind and welcoming. read more

Bottom line: Nia & Fuki are SUPERSTAR Stylists. But read on for more salon observations... I'll start this review by saying I have been a Drybar member for going on 10+ years. I've moved a lot throughout the Bay Area and frequented the Burlingame and Palo Alto Drybar for many of those years but now Walnut Creek is my local salon. I've always been able to find my go-to stylists at each location and for me, Nia & Fuki are my go-to's at Drybar Walnut Creek. From the moment you walk in, they are happy to see you, give you the best shampoo and scalp massages, and the styling- it's other level. They are professional and they can transform hair like no other! Every time I walk out of the salon, I don't make it more than half a block without getting compliments on my hair. On the other side of the coin, I see the low star reviews for Walnut Creek and really breaks my heart for ALL of the hard working stylists who call this location "home". There's so much talent here but operationally, they are not being setup to succeed due to lack of stylist availability and management/owners are not present. Point blank, the Drybar experience as a whole has "changed" after Alli Webb, the original founder, sold it and it was franchised out. I can tell it's not the stylists at fault here, it's the lack of structure the new owners have yet to provide which is resulting in the day-to-day challenges. They really need to be held accountable and fix the operational challenges for Walnut Creek. I have had my appointments moved or canceled because this location is short staffed or people call out sick. It's easy to be disappointed and upset with the person or stylist manning the desk but I can tell you- everyone at Walnut Creek is trying their best to keep this place afloat. It's truly not their fault. They are the face of the establishment sure BUT they also need to be setup for success with enough stylists and better leadership from the salon owners. If you do find yourself in Walnut Creek, you gotta give my ladies Nia and Fuki a try! read more

Drybar - Walnut Creek - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

The one star is for the receptionist, at least that's what I think she is, I believe she also does hair as well . This is the second time that I've gotten attitude or just negative interaction with this person. The first time was when I booked an appointment for my sister and I and they were both for a blowout and when we got there, she was telling me that one was only a blowout and the other one was a dry styling. I said nope they were both blowouts and she Got attitude about it and I decided to just settle for what she said a dry style and a blowout to make their lives easier. I didn't want to argue,at checkout she realized that I was being charged for two blowouts, therefore admitting that there was a glitch in their system and didnt know how that happened. She did apologize and gave me a discount card for a future visit, but regardless the attitude that I got for a misunderstanding on their end was very frustrating. I love the Drybar so I decided to still continue coming here . I hadn't had any issues for a long time until today. I booked an appointment online for 145 and when I got to the area, it was a little bit earlier than that. It was 120. I called the salon to see if it was OK if I popped in a little bit earlier. If not, that's OK. I'll wait the lady on the phone said nope you're perfectly fine. You can come in. I have a gap in my schedule. That'll work out really well, so I did come in and when I went to check in the same lady, that's usually up at the reception area was doing hair and asked me if I had an appt, I said yes I do at 1:45 but the person on the phone told me I can come in now because they had a gap in their schedule and she says "well I don't know who you spoke to, but we're behind and we have two clients that have been here that still need to be checked in & it's probably not going to be until closer to your appt time" I would've been totally cool with that, I work as a dog groomer so I understand being shortstaffed or being behind, but what I don't understand is the attitude and rudeness. Maybe that's just how she speaks, but it's very condescending and rude. read more

Always the best experience at Dry Bar Walnut Creek! Amori did an amazing job! I will be back again and again!

I was coming here for years with a membership but it's not worth it. Please understand that if you have anything but straight hair, they will give you poor service. They write reviews about you on your account and pretty much speak extremely rude about you and your hair. My membership was cancelled for literally no reason (they were double charging me and when corporate got involved, they canceled my entire membership... not just the duplicate account). Spend your money somewhere else. They will not do your hair with integrity and will speak bad about you. Also, I tipped everytime no matter how badly my hair came out and they still left nasty notes on my profile. read more

I booked an appointment at this establishment on the same day I needed to have my hair done, so that was the first awesome experience. I will say at first I was disappointed at the outcome of my hair styling, looking back I'm not sure why other than not really being used to my hair up in a fancy do. But as the festivities began and my hair fell into place it was exceptional. I received so many compliments on it too. The hair dresser Ali killed it, I gave her a concept and she nailed it. read more
