Y'all! This was my very first Drybar experience, all thanks to my daughter :) She booked our…read moreappointment today because she is a regular and goes almost every week to her dry bar in Denver. So I was excited when she invited me today! And now I am hooked. When we arrived the reception area was a little busy but I was greeted within a few minutes and the receptionist were super friendly. I waited about 12 minutes for my stylist to come get me from the waiting area. We started off with my hair being brushed and then we went to the washing bay where my stylist washed my hair and massaged my scalp. It felt so good!!! You can do an add-on, 15-minute massage, but you need to book that when you make the reservation. When she was done washing we went to the dry bar area and my stylist brought me a water and a small glass of champagne Your stylist will then style your hair based on the signature style you most like. I did a combination of Cosmo in Southern comfort. It looks so nice!! She did exactly what I asked for . I cannot wait to go back. I just wish there was a location closer to Georgetown. That's definitely a franchise investment opportunity. But until then, I will be making some frequent trips to the domain.

I have been coming to Drybar for a year and a half now and even have a barfly membership. I get at…read moreleast 1 to 2 blowouts a month there and at other locations across the US when I travel for work. However, I have had an inconsistent experience, both in the quality of the blowout, and in the amount of time it takes to blow my hair out. I have most times had blowouts within the allotted time with some stylists, and also experienced on occasion other stylists taking more than the allotted time. Ever since the new policy rolled out, it was suggested to me twice (once by DryBar Domain) that I needed an extended time blowout, which I would understand if 100% or even most of my blowouts took longer than the allotted time to complete. This most recent suggestion happened via text ahead of my appointment today. I made it clear that I was not available earlier to come in than the time I booked and that I've had 45 minute blowouts before and that I can blow dry and straighten my own hair in 45 minutes. They charged me for the extended blowout time anyway. I didn't want to push the issue at checkout since another woman had melted down at them about being late or something to her appointment (her own fault). I went back to check my transaction receipts for against my appointment times and accounting for the few minutes I usually have to wait for the stylist to come get me and the time that it takes to ring me up, I see that most appointments in 2025 have been completed in about 45 minutes. I have screenshots of all of this. For example, on 8/13, my appt was at 10:00 and my transaction was completed at 10:46 but on 9/6 my appointment was at 4:00 and transaction completed at 5:11. Inconsistent lengths of time. Another one that I recall is one that took a few minutes for me to be seen on 7/12. Appointment time was 4:45 and the order transaction took place at 5:40. This is 55 minutes but doesn't reflect the time I waited or the time it takes for the receptionist to apply credits before payment. Yet another appointment on 6/10 was at 3:30 with a Crown Tonic add-on (10 additional minutes). The order transaction was completed at 4:27 - 57 minutes right on time. On 4/12, I had an appointment at 5:30 and the Crown Tonic add-on (again, builds in extra 10 minutes), the transaction occurred at 6:23. Again, when you factor in wait time and transaction time at the reception, this is within the allotted time. More often than not, my hair is completed in 45 minutes but occasionally there have been stylists who have taken longer -- this, however, is a skill and/or training issue, not an issue for me to swallow in the form of an added fee. As a mixed woman with medium texture (not coarse) hair thanks to my mother's indigenous heritage, my hair only takes ME 45 minutes to blow out and straighten with an iron so I would expect someone trained in hair to do it faster. My regular stylist who does my cuts (by the way, NOT a woman of color at a high-end salon) can do my blowout, flat iron, AND cut/trim in under an hour and gives me a thorough head scrub and shampoo. This most recent blowout at DryBar left me with residue and dry flakes visible on the front of my hairline. My stylist also did not use good technique (which I've seen with my cut stylist for years) for blowing out my hair to get it straight more efficiently, which means she's repeated going over 1 section with heat, which could lead to more damage. If I can blow dry a section straight in 1-2 passes, why can't the stylists? Of course it will take 15 extra minutes to do -- again, I can blow dry my hair out straight (before flat iron or iron) in about 20-25 minutes. All of this is to say that I will be canceling my Barfly membership and will not be back after being a regular and nor will I be recommending DryBar to my black and mixed friends, primarily due to what I believe is an inherently discriminatory policy in the Extended Time policy (coming from corporate) which disproportionately affects women of color (sure, some white women with LONG hair also get penalized but let's be real). I went to DryBar to have the experience of someone else doing my hair in occasion with this shift, I'm going to do my hair myself or find another blowout bar. P.S. Also, I've recently trimmed off 3 inches from just past shoulder length hair (when straight) in the last few months and I've had hair loss issues over the last 2 years so I don't have "thick", or "long" hair at all to contend with.

My hair wasn't brushed out at the salon after the blowout was done, and I was told to wait to brush it out to preserve it.

The Covid protocols here are outstanding: everyone is wearing masks, stations are spaced out (it seems that every other station is empty to ensure social distancing), and the place is spotless. The owner of the business, Melissa, is always so friendly and kind. She remembered me after I hadn't been there in several years. It really felt like going home to return back to this amazing place.

If I could give 100 stars in this review I would. Pedro took my previous blonde that had brown dye over it, a band of red from base bumping, extremely dry ends, areas of new growth, and transformed my hair into a beautiful and healthy dimensional blonde. I don't know how Pedro pulled this off, but years of expertise, knowledge and experience, along with quick thinking, and love for the art was very obvious in the results I obtained from Pedro. I am over the moon and am so excited to have found this place, and to have found Pedro. If you're thinking of booking here or booking with Pedro, don't hesitate, just do it! You won't regret it.

Besides being hilarious and just delightful as a person, she has changed my life.

I just got done with my 6-week touch up after my first session and I have to say that I have never been so impressed as I am with Sadi. She pronounces it "Saudi" btw, and she's just...there aren't words!!! DON'T EVEN CONSIDER GOING ANYWHERE ELSE!!!! My eyebrows look absolutely perfect for me now, and I can't believe that they look this way without having me touching them up in any way. Those days are gone. My eyebrows are absolutely PERFECT. And besides her amazing gift with the ability to do what she does and her amazing personality, she walks you through every step of the process and provides you with so much knowledge about microblading and the healing process that you will not have a single doubt nor question that not only is she the best, but that you also know everything you need to know before you walk out her door. I just can't imagine anyone else having the ability to make me look like I do right now. Ever since I walked out her door earlier this afternoon, I've been in a state of disbelief and have to keep looking in the mirror. Every time I do, it just blows my mind. This is the woman that you want working on you if your eyebrows need any kind of attention with makeup. Stop doing that to yourself!! Go see Sadi. I can promise you that you will be just as impressed and happy as I am when you walk out her door. I swear, I'm a new person. And I really do have her to thank for this. And somehow she's even quite reasonably priced even though she's clearly the best in the business. THANK YOU SADI!!!! PLEASE GO SEE HER; and if you have to wait a little bit for an appointment because she's so busy (because she really is as good as I'm saying) just remember that it's totally worth it. I'm telling you she's a life changer. I have 30 minutes back into my life everyday that I do not have to spend penciling in my stupid basically hairless eyebrows. Sigh....:) :) :) :)
