I wanted to share feedback about my recent visit. I arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment,…read morebut no one came to greet or check me in for over five minutes. Two stylists eventually came out, but neither acknowledged me. When I kindly greeted them and mentioned I needed to be checked in, they proceeded to take two other waiting customers. When I asked if the salon was running behind, I was told that they were short-staffed and that I could either wait or rebook--without so much as an apology. I ultimately waited nearly an hour past my scheduled appointment time before being taken back. Throughout the experience, the staff was curt and condescending, which was both surprising and disappointing. I've been a loyal Drybar customer for over ten years and have visited locations across the country. This was by far the poorest experience I've had. If a stylist was unavailable, I would have appreciated a courtesy call so I could adjust my plans accordingly. I have now reached out through multiple channels -- including private message, email, and the post-visit survey -- and have yet to receive any response. Thank you for your time and prompt attention to this matter.

beGlammed is a lifesaver!…read more TL;DR: Great option if you need hair and makeup for a last-minute event. If you have the budget and want a flawless look, go for the "Elite" stylist. I needed to hire a hair stylist to come to my house really early in the morning (6am!) because I planned a last-minute photoshoot at the tidal basin during cherry blossom season. I only had three days to get a photographer, makeup artist, and hair stylist. I was able to find the photographer on Thumbtack and my wedding makeup artist was available, however I had no luck finding a hair person so last minute. I even messaged stylists on Instagram - but they were already booked or took too long to respond. It was Friday, and my photoshoot was happening on Saturday at 9am! Now I know I could just curl my own hair, but I wanted something special for these photos that I was already paying a premium for. I decided to try my luck with beGlammed, despite limited customer reviews for DC. I called their customer service line asking about the difference between an "Expert" and an "Elite" stylist and they were really courteous and helpful. Basically, I wanted professional curls and a braid element. Since the braid would require "lifting" my hair, I was advised to choose the "Updo" option. This is $85 for an Expert and $195 for an Elite stylist. I couldn't justify over double the price for an Elite (that's more expensive than my wedding day hair!) so I just went with the Expert option and hoped for the best. You fill out the beGlammed services form and pay upfront (gratuity and tax included). This is unlike Thumbtack, which allows you to submit a project for free. Within TWO minutes, I got an email saying a local hair stylist (Tamia) was available! I called her to confirm she's a real person (I'm paranoid like that) and was delighted to hear that she could make it at 6am. My makeup person was coming at 7am, and we had to leave the house by 8am to make it to the tidal basin on time for the photoshoot. Stress level - 7! Saturday morning comes around and Tamia is right on time. I cleared my dining table and set up a space for the magic to happen. I showed Tamia some photos of waterfall braids, and she quickly got started with curling my hair. When she got to the braiding part, I wasn't really sure what was happening since I didn't have a big mirror in front of me Lol. It didn't feel like a waterfall braid, but I trusted her expertise and just let her work. When she was done, I looked in the mirror and freaked out a little. It wasn't exactly what I asked for - it actually seemed MORE complicated! She did a fishtail headband braid. My hair was really frizzy (it's dry from balayage) but the style looked great. After getting makeup done, spraying on more hairspray, the look came together and I really loved it. The headband braid looked better in photos because you could see the details on the side and top of my head. If she had done a waterfall - it would've been pointless because it's a portrait photoshoot with mostly headshots (you'd never see the back of my head). So, I think it was a really smart call on her part to do the headband style. Anyway, the shoot went great and I've been recommending beGlammed to my friends. Thanks for saving my bum!
