All of the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The shop is tucked away in the Garden District, so if you're taking a rideshare from elsewhere, you get a nice little tour of the area on your way. The space was clean and well set up. They also have a great variety of drink options. I went with Prosecco and it was perfect for my morning. My husband and I were between hotels, and there was a nice seating area for him to wait comfortably with all of our bags. Luckily, they weren't too busy on a Monday morning! My hair turned out amazing! Highly recommend treating yourself.

Thank you!

She was incredibly proactive and accommodating, fitting me in on Super Bowl weekend on a Saturday at my hotel! It was amazing and so convenience she came to my hotel , did not have to leave , Not only did she do a fantastic job with my hair (which lasted all weekend through the humidity, walking, Super Bowl and parties!), but she also went above and beyond. Erin gave me helpful suggestions on what clothes and shoes to pack for all the walking, regularly updated me on the weather, and even recommended great restaurants and shopping spots in the area. She was so sweet, kind, and professional--truly a gem! I highly recommend Erin for anyone looking for a top-notch blowout and an all-around amazing experience. I high recommend her and when I go back to NOLA will definitely be calling Erin .

Parking was surprisingly easy and convenient. We made the appointment online and it started on time and with our preselected hair dresser. The general salon and waiting area was a bit too loud for my daughter but when she went to get her hair washed, we noticed a "Quiet waiting area"!! I love this fact, especially for my child who is autistic. My daughter loved the hair massage as her hair was prepped for cutting. The hairdresser was calm, friendly and really listened to what we wanted. She was great at matching the pictures that we brought for examples. We will be back and I think I will also try them for my own curly hair.

My hair was done well using a curling iron set for lasting volume. Unfortunately, the makeup application was subpar--uneven eyeshadow blending and a messy red lip that had to be cleaned up. The most disappointing part was how rushed the final moments felt once her next client arrived. The stylist shifted from my incomplete makeup to pulling out my hair pins hastily. I was also told that gel eyeliner was not option due to sanitary practices, however this has not been an issue at other establishments. My stylist acknowledged we were behind schedule due to my full glam request-- yet the booking system didn't allow for that distinction, only offering a single makeup service option. I spent $155, then had to go buy a lipstick that suited my look and redo parts of the makeup myself, which ultimately brought my look together. My hair also didn't hold up well. I rely on these appointments to feel confident and relaxed before big events, but this one fell short. A friend booked a blowout around the same time and was also unhappy with the lack of volume. I'm sharing this to help Blo improve and to inform others booking in the future.

This review has been in my draft box for way to long! But I've been here at least 4 times since I…read morestarted my review, so I can attest that not only is this place A-MAZ-ING but they're consistent, which is even more important IMHO. Naturally I love all things glam, and the Glam Bar is no exception. My stylist at the Glam Bar is Sadie, and to put it lightly she is completely amazing! I've been seeing her since she was at her previous salon and followed her here to her new home, and I've gotta say I really love the environment here. The vibe is sleek and modern and everything is brand spanking new and sparkly. Get ready to relax and get pampered! Did you forget to grab a drink or small bite to eat before coming in for you appointment? No prob! You don't have to sit there in agony, while your stomach growls like the lion at the Audubon Zoo- because they offer various assorted snacks, Keurig coffee, soda, water, wine- just help yourself! The stylists here all seem extremely talented, but I have only seen my girl Sadie, and she is just the bees knees. Not only is she the sweetest and easiest person on earth to talk to but girls got talent! She always executes the style and color I request, but at this point I usually ask her to do her thang because she knows what works for my hair color, face shape, etc. Like any great stylist, she frequently attends seminars to stay up to date on the latest and greatest techniques, so you can always feel confident taking your crazy hair fantasy to her to turn it into reality! Other services they offer are eyelash extensions, brow waxing and spray tanning. I haven't had the opportunity to try these services out yet, but as soon as I get some extra cash I plan on giving the lash extensions and spray tanning a go! Go visit Sadie @the Glam Bar and get ready to meet the new, beautiful you!

I understand that the stylist has an emergency but they should have a back up plan.

After people have heard this story, many have had the same experience or know someone that has had a terrible experience here.

I ended up trusting her to take the lead and she completely delivered. She reshaped everything into a more feminine, balanced look that actually frames my face so much better.

I went to Ally Bally and asked for a simple cut and face framing color-something I've asked for many times at other salons and always been happy with the result. Not rocket science.

She asked me where I'm from originally and then proceeded to say offensive things about my home state. All while joking around very unprofessionally with her coworkers.
