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.

I debated posting about this for a while because I completely understand that issues happen, but…read moreafter thinking about it further, this has been a recurring issue at Drybar that leadership should really look into finding a solution for. This isn't the first time I've experienced this and reading other reviews, it seems several others have had similar experiences. I recently booked an appointment at Drybar two weeks in advance for first thing in the morning before an important work event that morning. I received an email asking for confirmation the evening before, which I confirmed. I arrived about 15 minutes before the salon opened for my 7 am appointment, and waited in my car directly in front of the salon until about a minute before to not bug them before officially opening. When I walked in, I was told by the person at reception that two stylists had called out that morning and that she already had someone in her chair, so she couldn't take me. Aside from them not handling it very kindly or with any remorse when I explained my situation, I'd really urge Drybar leadership to rethink their plan and policy for employees calling out for early morning appointments, which I completely understand happens. But I'm sure the people who called out did so more than a miute after I walked in at 7, so I would have really appreciated being notified as soon as they found out and before I spent time waiting around for an appointment they weren't going to honor. Had I known sooner, I could have figured out a plan B but instead had to show up with dirty hair in a ponytail to an event where I was speaking and being photographed. The times I've booked appointments and actually gotten my hair done at various Drybar locations have been great -- I've really enjoyed the stylists I've worked with and the final results -- which is why I wanted to use them ahead of this important event. But I can't see myself trusting that they'll be able to follow through moving forward.

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.
