The pricing was also very reasonable for everything I had done. I'm so happy with the result and will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!

A lot was chopped. Like an inch or two. If it weren't for that, I would have given 5 stars, but this is a pretty big deal that I was told to keep my hair length, it will be $400 and to chop it off it will be about $300 but my hair was chopped and I still managed to pay $400. Another thing is I didn't like the way my ends were trimmed. Yes the color is very nice though. Sam did my hair and he did a really good job. I want to give 5 stars but I also felt misled simply because a good chunk of my length was lost from this and it was not worth the price paid for. It does not sit well with me. The reason I gave 3 stars instead of 4 was because the way my ends were cut were chopped off. They weren't trimmed. They were just chopped off. That'd be okay if I weren't charged $400. $400 charge was to maintain my length, but wasn't. UPDATE: Edited mine to 4 stars because I really do love the color. Sam did an amazing job with my color. Hopefully I can get my ends fixed though! After washing my hair, my color still comes out beautiful. Photo is posted.

Each of us was pampered and "prettified" in a friendly atmosphere. Giselle worked on my hair. This was the most painless shampoo I've had in a salon. No pulling. No scratching. Then came the Straight Up blowout which resulted in a sleek, stylish look. Giselle's personality added so much to the experience. Thank you! The weekend weather in Boston was raw and windy, but my Drybar look was beautiful throughout. What a great experience provided by this location in Back Bay!

My mom and I booked appointments here before my brother's wedding. I will say I'd read a lot of…read morenegative reviews and was worried about what would happen during our services. I live in Los Angeles but was in town just for the wedding, and I've gotten blowouts at multiple Drybars around the country, so I knew what the service was supposed to entail. Well, I don't know why this shop has received so many bad reviews, because our services were INCREDIBLE. My stylist (Emily) and my mom's stylist (Giselle) both made our hair look absolutely gorgeous. I got the Manhattan and my mom got the Straight Up, and both were executed to perfection. Our stylists were fun and personable, super kind, and very talented. They put us at ease and we had the best time chatting while they did our hair. I have A LOT of hair and it can take over an hour to blow it out and flat iron it. Emily got it done flawlessly in 50 minutes! I also noticed GORGEOUS curls she'd done for the girl before me, so it wasn't just me who got great hair that day. My one note would be to ask how I wanted my hair washed at the shampoo bowl. This was actually the only time I've been to a Drybar where I wasn't asked if I wanted one or two shampoos and if I wanted conditioner on my roots. But since Emily made my hair look so amazing anyway, it's not a big deal -- just something I think should be done before washing. Overall we were both thrilled with our blowouts and the service provided by Emily, Giselle, and the receptionist up front. We couldn't have asked for anything more!

First win. Then I woke up to an email from the airline saying the flight was delayed an hour. Then another two hours. I called and left a voicemail as soon as I could before they were open. I told them I would probably miss both appointments if they kept delaying my flight. When it was confirmed that we would indeed take off I called them back to let them know I could probably make the makeup appointment if they could push it back and find a friend from the wedding to take my hair appointment. The lady at the front desk was super understanding and happy to switch out another wedding guest to take my place for a blow out. I made it in time to get my makeup done by Liza. She was so sweet and so professional. I only wear foundation and have lash extensions. I don't know how to put on eye makeup. I had a bright blue dress and she put in pops of blue. It was so fun and I felt fabulous! The customer service, understanding of my travel delays and final product were all so amazing. I'd come back in a heartbeat next time I have a wedding in Boston!

She asked if I was okay FIRST! (how kind is that!?!) I arrived about 15-20 minutes after my scheduled time and apologized and she was so gracious about it. Her salon was clean, cute and welcoming. With both of us in masks, she immediately proved hand sanitizer and check my temperature. (which definitely put me at ease!) She asked questions about my hair care routine and we talked about my hair goals. The entire process was smooth and the conversation was great!

I booked a week in advance for a red carpet event, but instead of professional work, I got absolute incompetence and utter disrespect. She spent over an hour fumbling through my makeup while I literally had to instruct her step-by-step. She didn't even know how to do eyeliner, forcing me into an awkward, flat-on-my-back position just to attempt it, and then completely skipped my lips. When it came to my hair, she wasted 45 minutes making rude, judgmental comments and blamed me for sending a blonde reference photo a week prior--even though she had given it a thumbs-up and never asked for changes. After dragging the appointment past the two-hour mark (well over her promised 1.5-hour maximum), I had to finish my own lipstick in a rush and leave for my event with my lips undone. She overcharges, lies, lacks basic skills, and treats clients like garbage. Do not waste your hard-earned money here. Negative 100/10.
