We recently visited Drybar Sarasota to get our hair done for a friend's 50th birthday celebration…read more The experience started off pleasant, but unfortunately went downhill quickly. Once we were seated, we were never offered champagne--something that's always been part of the Drybar experience and something we look forward to. Out of the three of us, only one person actually looked like they had a proper blowout. We even showed friends our "after" photos and they thought they were the before pictures. When we went up to the counter, Christian noticed that our birthday girl's hair wasn't finished at all. The stylist kept insisting her hair "wouldn't hold a curl," but Christian completely redid it--and it came out beautiful. We are very grateful for him. The owner was there and mentioned multiple times that they were "getting ready for busy season," which made us assume most of the stylists working that day were brand new. While we fully understand that new stylists need training, we should not have been charged full price for an experience that was far from Drybar quality. I also paid $15 for an add-on that was supposed to help with frizz, and it felt like I got about three sprays of product. My hair frizzed immediately after walking outside. We've had great experiences at other Drybar locations, but unfortunately we cannot recommend this one.

The people working here made a bride cry on the night of her rehearsal dinner. Very cold vibe and I…read morewould give them zero stars if possible. I booked two blow dry appointments at Sip and Dry for my sister's rehearsal dinner--one of which was supposed to include a ponytail for my sister, the bride. I chose this blow dry bar because a ponytail is clearly listed as one of the available styles under the blowout section on their website. When we got there, they kept the bride waiting around for 20 minutes before finally informing us that they "didn't feel comfortable" doing a ponytail because they didn't have enough girls trained in that style. Seriously, a hair and beauty business with 6-8 creative professionals on staff at the time, and no one could do a simple ponytail? On the day of her rehearsal dinner! The bride ended up crying in the chair, and I started crying too, and no one working there cared or showed the slightest bit of empathy. When I expressed my disappointment on the way out, the girl at checkout (don't know her name, but she had pink hair) dismissively told me that ponytails are considered an "updo," and they didn't have enough girls trained in a ponytail to do my sister's. When I pointed out that ponytails are listed under the blowout section on their own website, she just looked away and didn't respond. No acknowledgment, no apology--just silent, rude indifference. The ponytail didn't include any pinning of hair, which is what they define as an "updo". They ruined what should have been a joyful, memorable part of my sister's wedding weekend. The place had a very strange vibe, was completely unprofessional, and I just can't understand how the people working are so bad at interacting with humans. I would never recommend Sip and Dry to anyone--especially not for anything remotely special.

They offer several "sips" including seasonal sips. The blowouts are always consistent and if you get a membership any extra you get during the month are only 40.00.

We arrived a few minutes early and were greeted by our stylist Anna and Alexis, who reviewed the look books with us to see what style we wanted.

I didn't know what I was communicating (tip: research blowout language before you get there! They don't have look books) and Sandy was extremely patient and non-judgmental. She could tell that I wasn't happy when we got started, and because she had time available, she made sure I left with exactly what I wanted. Day (I imagine I'm not spelling that correctly), my make up artist, was also extremely patient and did AMAZING work. I strongly recommend getting your hair and make up done for any kind of event you have coming up.

I have been meaning to visit Bubbles & Blowouts sooner, but I rarely get dressed up since "date…read morenight" is usually Netflix and take-out. Other than highlights and a haircut every 7-8 weeks I do not indulge in any salon services so it was such a treat to have my hair washed and styled by someone else. I love that Bubbles & Blowouts offers a childcare area if I cannot get my husband to watch our toddlers. After an exhausting Thanksgiving I decided that I could use a little pampering and treated myself to a blowout before our family Christmas pictures. I had heard great things about Bubbles & Blowouts from the Moms of South Tampa so I checked out the website and to see their hours and discovered I could book an appointment online. I really liked that I could book an appointment online instead of calling because I rarely get a minute to pick up the phone with my clingy one year old. Not only was I able to book my reservation quickly and quietly after I put my toddlers to bed, but I was also able to score a morning appointment before nap time! The location on South Dale Mabry is super convenient to my house and there was plenty of parking spots available. Loved the fun and modern decor and music. Did I mention the awesome childcare area?! The owner obviously gets that busy moms want to get pampered, but do not always have access to a babysitter. My stylist Dali was so sweet and friendly and did an amazing job with my hair! I decided to pay a little extra and added beach waves to my blowout. The result was so pretty and she added enough hairspray so that my hair still looked fabulous five hours later at our photoshoot!

I felt so secure in her hands that my hair was gonna look FIRE. She really popped off. I got so many compliments that night. Gianni also analyzed my skin type to use appropriate products on my face. I never felt so handsome and shy at the same time. She listened to what I wanted and always checked in to make sure I was happy. The most handsome I felt and also the most fun I've had with good company. Everyone was so helpful, attentive and overall pleasant to be around. Plus the rosé prosecco was the icing on the cake. Thank you Blo Bar!! Special shout out to Liz, the receptionist, who was so patient and attentive with a bridal party & full store of other bookings.

When I first showed up, her energy was welcoming, warm and it felt like I was reconnecting with an old friend. The yap session we had was everything I didn't know I needed while getting my hair done! Lol On top of the amazing experience she created, I left with my jaw on the floor. Tones I had been trying to achieve with other stylists and never could were magically there! And the kicker is I didn't even show her any inspo. Just the words right out of my mouth. She truly is a saint. If you're looking for a hair stylist that seriously is magical and cares about not just your hair, but your experience in her salon as well.. Cass is IT!!! I will be back!!
