My stylist was very polite and considerate considering I had a huge knot in my hair that took forever to get out. It was very gracious of her to not make it awkward even though I knew we were running out of time. I love that they have early morning hours on weekdays so that I can sometimes slip in an appointment and get back before the kids wake up. And whatever products they use make my very curly hair blow out into a sleek and frizz free style. read more

I like to give credit where it is due. They finally got it right! Jennifer was so fun to talk to and did a great job on my hair. It came out exactly how I had asked her to style it. I am hoping this trend continues here. read more

Fantastic blow outs. I love all the girls and enjoy getting my hair done. Jenny recently did my blow out. It was so great. Brook is phenomenal and keeps me in stitches the entire time. Ashley is also fantastic and super review friendly. And graduation. read more

I tried this salon and fell in love!! I've been to other blowout salons in Columbus, but this one (and the sister salon in Powell) are the best. I love the staff, the sinks are comfortable, and the place had an upscale feel without being pretentious. I used to do my own roots, but not since I discovered this service. It's super convenient and quick, and the results have been seamless. The price is beyond reasonable and the quality is unmatched. Highly recommend! read more

People with Hair Extensions beware... I am a cancer survivor who went to them for a long time until one of them ruined my newly installed wefts. Was in the chair for four hours letting her try to fix it. Then left out a frustration and they still charged me. I had to pay $1000 to get them reinstalled. I tried to give them a second chance and they canceled my appointment due to my behavior. I have never been so appalled on the way I was treated, especially as a cancer survivor and having to pay to have my Wefts reinstalled. read more

I've been here on multiple occasions usually the day before something important. Today was no different in that respect. Which I did communicate. I asked for something with tighter curls. After she did the wash part she started drying my hair. I have very thick curl hair. Which I mentioned many times. She said she had it. Turns out not so much. She held the drier so close to my hair it steamed and burned my scalp. I winced many many times. I told her it did. I'm not saying she didn't ask if I liked it but I just wanted it over with so I left. I got home hoping the curls in the back where tighter than they looked when I was there... but yeah they are not... what she did I could've done myself. My problem is I can't get tighter curls very well myself. Looks like I'll have to try again myself tomorrow. So annoyed and my head hurts physically hurts all over! read more

The Blowdry Cafe - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

My experience since the beginning as far as the stylists has been ok. They were very nice and I have never once walked out without paying or no showed. My issue is with the owner of the franchise. She blames a credit card glitch for an unauthorized charge on my card and will not reimburse, although I was told she had done so to other clients. Her demeanor was unprofessional and hostile. I have spoken to other business owners in the area and they are also confused about the credit card situation (as I don't own a small business) and have been very helpful in gathering more info to help. read more

Just had one of the best Blow out/Flat irons of my life from Torrie today! I am African-American and have very long, curly hair. She conditioned my hair and detangled it gently. When she finished, my hair was very flat, lots of movement, with the perfect amount of product. On a hot, humid day, the weather did not touch my hair. Thanks Torrie! I'll be back! Complimentary mimosas for the win! read more

I had been going to Kenneths before trying somewhere new today. The salon was clean and the tech did a good job trying to socialize. The products and techniques put in place weren't deserving of a $40 blow out. I was not satisfied with the hair and will not be returning. I could've done better curls at home. read more

I had a great experience here. Sammie was awesome. The scalp massage and hair wash was so relaxing. The best I've had. My blowout looked amazing at the end. Highly recommend her. read more

I booked an appointment for hair and makeup and I am so glad I gave this place a shot! I was in a wedding over the weekend and booked my appointment only a few days before (huge help that they open early on saturdays!) I was welcomed into the salon, offered a drink, and quickly seated in the chair. My stylist, Andrea I believe, was very helpful in deciding on how to style my hair and did a great job! My makeup was great too, the stylist knew exactly what I wanted and did an amazing job. I would recommend this place 100% and plan on returning! read more

I have used this location a few times during the past few years. It has worked. I went for a makeup trial that did not work. It was very expensive, the coloring was off, the concealer was very yellow and my mascara smudged at home later that day. I would not recommend blow dry cafe for makeup. read more

In town for a few hours for an event and they totally came through. I was impressed with the ambiance, welcoming nature of the place and all the questions she asked me about what exactly I wanted. I would not have even known what to ask for. Coffee, expressing, water and cookies are for free which is just a nice added touch. Love the brand consistency of this place and that it is owned by two female entrepreneurs. Thank you for a great service! read more

After reading yesterday that the blowdrys were $10 off today (Black Friday), I made an online appt. for 8 am. I'm not a Black Friday shopper and wanted to avoid any traffic and rush. I was greeted by two young ladies, one of whom said she would be doing my hair and the other offered to get me coffee. We chatted about the style I wanted and then she gave me a thorough wash. Their sink chairs have recliner-type extensions on which to rest your legs, which I've never seen before at a salon. She did a great job on my hair, and used some cool products, but didn't do a hard sell. Both ladies were sweet and I will probably return when there is another special. Another service they have is full makeup applications, which is very enticing. The salon itself is nicely laid out and clean. It was easy to find on Reed, tucked into a strip mall. read more

I came in sometime last week. Completely awful my hair didnt stay, makeup came right off. It appeared as if the makeup brushes weren't clean. And these are professionals? They can't even accomplish what they do for a living. read more

I loved my blowout, I've gotten many compliments on my hair as well. It has lasted three days so far (still getting compliments on day three). The Blowdry Cafe was clean, comfortable, and accommodating. I also really liked Natalie who performed my services. read more

Seriously the best! I am always happy with the outcome. I am a return client. The early hours are so convenient and they have always had availability. The prices are so reasonable. The weds happy hour helps too. read more

Booked a few blowouts for my sisters bachelorette party. The staff did a great job and made us feel beautiful. All of our hair kept through the next day! We laughed at how good our hair looked in the am and that we should go back out. The staff made sure we had everything we needed. My sister had a great experience with her makeup Application. Loved the cute jewelry and clothes to browse from the boutique truck. read more

I had a great experience at Blowdry! They are very professional and are willing to talk through what your ideas are! It's nice also to have the option to purchase both salon products, but also some amazing clothes and candles! read more

Love this place! Miranda is the best! She always makes my hair look great and does exactly what I ask for!

The customer service was wonderful. I felt completely pampered. The salon had such a positive vibe. Everyone was so friendly, and my hair and makeup was flawless. I can't wait to come back. read more

I am a "new regular" here. Fantastic service, atmosphere, and always get a great style that lasts me most of the week. They are always prompt and friendly. I usually see Meranda but had Brook last time and she was awesome too! Highly recommend!! read more

Hanna did a great job on my hair- took her time, gave me a chance to give feedback and I ended up with a great style!

I stopped by the Blowdry Cafe for a brow wax this morning. I love that they open at 7am so I can stop in before work. She did a great job on my brows- including giving them a trim. She made sure they were exactly what I wanted. When I went to check out, it was only $10 because they have a Wednesday Happy Hour- can't beat that! I will definitely return. read more

I really love having the opportunity in upper Arlington to get hair and make up done for special occasions. We use it for all my daughters prom homecoming and special dates. They do make up better than we can do any day at home. I have recently started doing it for a blowout in mid week and can use dry shampoo and make it last for a couple days. I highly recommend read more

I went here to have my hair done for a wedding. I did not have a good experience here at all. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and got nothing close to it. I had to go home immediately to wash my hair and re do it myself. Such a waste of money. Very disappointed. The stylist didn't even use a curling iron. Only used a round brush. I was mortified when she turned me around to look in the mirror. Absolutely terrible. I will never go back here. read more

From my first phone call to make same time appointments for a friend and myself to the time we left, the staff members were exceptionally nice. We were offered mimosas and pastries and invited to describe what we hoped to achieve using their style menu as a guide. Even for someone like myself who is unaccustomed to doing/having my hair done, the process (about 45min for myself) added some fun before our event. Unfortunately our beautiful styles did not last as long as we hopped...about 2 hours. But hair types etc. differ so I shall not blame them. read more

Love loved my blowout today!! I have long hair and it's not always easy to manage. Caroline did a fantastic job and she's also super sweet! I've gone to a lot of blowdry bars and local competitors - I'd have to say this was one of the best blowouts that I've ever received! Thanks very much and I look forward to coming back soon! Cheers! read more

Great spot! Super easy to make appointments. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. I absolutely LOVED my hair, a sleek blowout with some braiding. I was a little nervous about getting a makeup application but it looked fantastic. Lovely lashes too. Will definitely be back! read more

LOVE this place! The decoration, first off, is so cute. The back wall decor where the hair wash station is located has the neatest idea of wood overlay. The ladies working here are friendly, fun, and vibrant. You are offered coffee or drinks when you come in and that is definitely a perk! There are also desserts! The shampoo and condition part were amazing- what a nice massage! My actual blow out was fabulous. It stayed in style for a good two days with full volume. I will be back again with family and friends! Highly recommended. read more

Had my hair done for a Gala Fundraising Event. They served me a drink and made my hair gorgeous! So happy that I made an appointment! Love this place, I'll be back! read more

I was nervous about going to The Blowdry Cafe for a last minute fix me up. Being a stylist myself, I am a little hard to please sometimes ;) But I was so happy I made the trip in. The price for the make-up was a little more than expected but the hair and make-up was perfect. I don't normally leave the house unprepared but I happened to that day and they fixed me up! read more

Merranda did an amazing job! My hair is still curly and with lots of volume after a long day of taking photos in the fall heat! We had a great conversation while the blow dryer was off, and once it was on I had a chick flick on with subtitles to keep me entertained. I will definitely be going back next time I need someone else to do my hair! read more

They did a great job! What a cool place. Was reasonably priced. They took time to talk with me and offer suggestions. Can't wait to come back!! read more

This is one of the WORST experiences I have ever had with a salon in my life. I would NOT recommend it whatsoever. The manager was completely rude. read more

The place is cute and has a lot of potential, but I can do my hair better myself. My stylist was a 20-something in the first station who was more interested in where and with whom her coworkers were going out last night than the client experience. She seemed anxious to get out of there as I was her last appointment. She was SUPER rough on my head while washing to the point it hurt, and was scrubbing my head with a towel? Why are we roughing up the cuticles so much? (Full disclosure, I've never had a blowout before. Maybe that's the norm?) I've been growing my hair for my wedding and was a little panicked this might ruin it all as my hair is incredibly fragile when under stress. (Wedding is next month!) We'll see what breakage I get over the next week. I will be beside myself if my hair breaks off. But I digress... The curls started falling out in about 30 minutes which I never have a problem with. There was no volume left in my hair an hour later, also never have issues with when I or my my normal hairdresser do my hair. 3 of the 4 girls in my party had similar experiences. One of the girls with me had a guy in the 4th (?) station who was awesome. He was nice, gentle, and did a beautiful job. Her hair looked great all night. Overall it was a disappointment and I wouldn't go back. read more

I would say i LOVE shanda and she is the best one if you do decide to go. The owner was very condescending with me when asking a few questions. I have had my hair curled a few times, it was okay....the one girl did not even know how to braid and i have super long hair. the hair in the fishtail completely came out before the wedding I went to. I also think that they lack in professionalism. they have side conversations when I was in a huge hurry. i hope it gets better. read more

Last week I was there for my engagement day and why just worst my time and my money , they are jut awful I'll not recommend to anyone don't wors your time and your money there even they don't know how to style the especial hair for a especial day , and they are just rude!!!! read more

After hearing about how great professional blowouts are, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately this blowout seemed more amateur than professional. The girl was nice but only spent 5 seconds asking me what I wanted then proceeded to shampoo only half my head. At this point I knew I probably wouldn't get what I wanted here. Then after I told her I wanted lots of root volume, she pointed the hairdryer down while drying so again I knew this was a waste of money. When she did turn the chair around and ask if I liked it, I didn't feel like being mean or taking time to redo it so I just asked her to tease the roots and left. I redid my hair later. Needless to say I don't recommend wasting your money here. read more
