    I visited this location on April 11th, 2026. My appointment was around 9:45 am. I will say I was accommodated, considering I hit some traffic and was a couple minutes late to the appointment and they took me back promptly anyway. However, the quality of the service was not great. I asked for my hair to just be down and curled. She didn't seem like she really wanted to be there or do my service, because I wasn't met with kindness or general respectful customer service. The stylist was very blunt and, in all honesty, not very nice. She then began curling my hair with a flat iron. I don't remember the name of my stylist but I noticed during my appointment that she was absurdly rough with my hair. I thought maybe it was just a coincidence or she pulled too hard on accident one time. She actually consistently pulled my hair extremely hard as she styled my hair with the flat iron and it was very painful. A couple days later, I noticed the top of my scalp to be tender and discovered some inflammation in my hair follicles. After reading some similar reviews, it seems like I'm not the only one who's had this painful experience & that their hair was also curled with a flat iron when there are curling irons readily available. I wasn't asked if I was okay with that either and neither were the customers in these other reviews. I am pretty disappointed considering the price of the service and the fact that the stylist was tipped accordingly. Will not be returning to this location. I hope management sees these reviews and takes them seriously considering the consistency of such events.

    Earlier this week, I had my first Drybar experience at the DTLA location -- and it was phenomenal. The team was welcoming, the service was great, and I walked out feeling like a million bucks. They had me totally sold on signing up for the $99/month BarFly subscription. Today, I decided to set it up in person at the Encinitas location since I live in the area most of the time. I also figured I'd get a blowout while I was at it, especially since the website isn't the most user-friendly. The shopping center is great -- easy to get to, with tons of open parking. But unfortunately, that's where the positive part of this visit ends. I walked in around 6:40 p.m. (they close at 8), and stood at the front desk waiting to be greeted. No one acknowledged me. There was one guest already seated in the lobby and two stylists actively working with clients. Despite the big signs on the window and listings online saying, "Walk-ins welcome" and "Pop-ins welcome (including washes)," no one looked up, said hello, or made any effort to acknowledge me. After what felt like a painfully long and awkward moment, I made eye contact with one of the stylists -- who quietly told her client she'd go grab the front desk girl. At this point, I was uncomfortable, embarrassed, and unsure if I should just leave. Eventually, a young girl (in a black tube top and wild tan lines) came out and sat down at the desk. She greeted the woman already in the lobby, then turned to me after a minute and said, without looking up, "Are you also checking in?" I stepped forward and asked if they had time for a blowout today. Her response: "Unfortunately, no. Not today," again, without eye contact or any kind of warmth. Honestly, the whole exchange felt cold and dismissive. I don't expect red carpets, but basic courtesy -- a "Hi! We'll be right with you" -- goes a long way in making someone feel welcome. The front desk staff felt more fitting for a tanning salon than a luxury beauty service, and the complete lack of hospitality left me really disappointed. It's a shame, because Monday's experience had me excited to become a regular. But today left me questioning if Drybar is really consistent in the level of service they claim to provide.

    Drybar is re-opening in Encinitas! At the Encinitas Oktoberfest event, I saw the Drybar booth and received a complimentary blowout. I had only ever seen Drybar on social media, so I was excited to go! Drybar is located in Encinitas Village between Athleta and Revive Med Spa with tons of parking. They welcome you in and offer complimentary coffee, water, or champagne/mimosa. Fun! There's also guest wifi. As I was there for a complimentary service, I let my stylist Kristi pick what style she was going to do and she chose the Cosmo-Tai. She did a wash and then styled my hair- it took about 1.5 hours (I have long thick hair) and it turned out beautifully! My hair also smelled amazing. I would definitely consider coming to Drybar for an event- it's $59 for a one time blowout, but if I lived closer/had more events in my life the Membership seems like a good idea- $49 a month for a blowout or $95 a month for two blowouts.

    I have been a Drybar monthly member for nearly 20 years and this location was the tipping point to me finally cancelling. Shady practices-- didn't disclose that the braid style shown in their guide for $15 was actually per braid. Ridiculous. Also didn't use my "paid for monthly membership service" on my account-- waived me out the door and then said, "no problem, I'll take care of it" and then I see a $100 charge on my account when it should have been $15 for a braid and $15 for tip. Check out the braid that they charged $30 for that took 30 seconds to make. Totally wild that they would think someone would be ok with this counting as "two" braids.

    They have some talented stylists. Of course, some are better than others. I have probably been here 10x and had mixed experiences depending on the stylist. Some that are excellent are Angie and Jenna. Some struggle to do a round brush blowout. They recently started charging an extra 30$ if you have thick, long or textured hair. 85$ isn't worth it in my opinion. You can go to other local blowout bars for 55$ with any hair type. This recent change has caused me to get my hair done elsewhere. Good for special occasions.

    Angie was phenomenal! I came in for my first blowout for engagement photos and am so happy with the results. Clean and beautiful space with happy vibes. I'll be back!

    Naomi did amazing on my hair! My hair is so soft and shiny, it feels like a cloud.

    Naomi did amazing! My hair is soft, shiny and silky!! It feels like a cloud! The staff was very professional and offered me coffee, tea, or water multiple times. Naomi was very kind and washed my hair very thoroughly and listened attentively to all my questions and concerns and helped me find an outcome that was great for me !

    Blowout

    I feel like my hair has never looked or felt better ! Diana was so kind and washed my hair thoroughly ! She gave me an amazing blowout with minimal heat! I will definitely be back ! Staff was very professional and welcoming and I was consistently offered water, tea, or coffee.

    My daughter is super happy with the blowout from Encinitas Drybar... we'll be back

She never called. I would NEVER have agreed to a $190 roots fee if I was given an honest answer when I called to ask the price. DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY WENDY! Demand to get a price before you make an appointment. Better yet, go somewhere else with reasonable, not ridiculous fees and deceptive "gratuities."
