Clare listened to my concerns and wants, and was able to correct the cut and color immediately. She is punctual, friendly, and highly skilled. Blonde highlites are very difficult to get right, but Clare knows exactly what to do for every skin tone and face shape. I highly recommend Clare!

My stylist Kiana did a wonderful job, and informed me of each step along the way while asking for my permission. (E.g., how is the temp. of the water? Do you want this tool or that tool? How does X sound to you?) I came in at 9:00 am (the only slot they had- they seem to book up fast), and my photoshoot was at 4:00 so I was a little nervous- but my hair held up wonderfully and I'm obsessed with the photos. As for other logistics- they validate parking so that helps a lot. The instructions to find the place are pretty clear, I just had to double check my email when I arrived. I would absolutely come back and book Kiana again!

FWIW, I've had 20+ blowouts at this Dry Bar location and have only been disappointed with the…read moreblowout itself once. I'm used to waiting at salons. I wish it didn't happen, but it's the nature of a services business. If the wait is under 15m it's fine. Perhaps there could be a way to check in and view wait time through the app to provide more transparency. I bet other business owners at Pike and Rose would love to monetize that 15m wait time and you could earn through ad revenue :) I'm leaving this review for the owner of this location. You have an incredibly talented team who are clearly overworked and underpaid. I don't know what flexibility you have in the franchise model, but you probably have more pricing power than you think. I would happily pay more for my bar fly membership. I am not ok paying a $30 surcharge on top of a $69 blowout when my appointment takes an hour instead of 45m (it has for the years I've used DryBar), there is clear friction between mgmt and staff, and mgmt and customers. I realize it's incredibly tough to run a low margin service business, and empathize as a former retail store manager. But I sincerely hope you'll level up the experience for all stakeholders...FWIW I realize there are similar challenges everywhere but the Georgetown location has figured this out. Just my 2c. Thanks for hearing me out.

The appointment I made through the Drybar app failed to process. That's OK. I acknowledge perhaps…read morethis was Operator error and, hey, tech stuff happens. What I did NOT need was the rude and dismissive behavior by one of the stylists when I asked about the possibility of a walk in appointment in this situation. "No, we close at 8!" she snapped and then proceeded to ignore me. A simple, polite response without the attitude would have been the professional way to turn away a potential customer. Trust me, I have worked customer service. I get it. You want to go home, and here I am 1.5 hours from your closing time asking you to blow out my hair. I'm just saying BE KIND. Good manners go a long way, and a little courtesy and kind professionalism cost nothing. To the other stylist in the shop who responded kindly and professionally that she could not accommodate me: THANK YOU FOR BEING A CLASS ACT AND TOTAL PRO!

I visited Melanie and had a Brazilian blowout yesterday and I am so impressed with the results!!! This was my first time getting this treatment done and my hair is so silky and lightweight that every time I run my hands through my hair I want to cry out of happiness. Melanie is also very knowledgeable about the type of products that you need to avoid if you want your Brazilian blowout to last, and I had talked with a lot of different hair stylists who told me that I could use any shampoo and conditioner as long as they are sulfate free. I hope I can maintain the healthy hair look for a couple of months! I will definitely be returning for another round in a couple of months.

She's not a typical stylist who will just do anything because you're willing to pay. She cares for the health of our hair. I was very surprised to see a previous review saying that a "Keratin treatments" was done to their hair at this salon due to the fact that they do not do this treatment at all. Melissa has flat out told me "No" to this process and that she does not recommend it for my hair. Also, Keratin treatments are NOT known to be in Dominican Hair Salons but more so at Brazilian hair salons. After all the damage caused to our hair during the summer months due to the sun, pool and beach I can always come back to this Salon and know that Melissa will bring life back to it. I've been to plenty of great Dominican hair salons in the metropolitan area but I love the care and treatment I get at Melissa's hair salon.
