    This is how my hair turned out....
    Alexis B.

    This location has truly gone downhill. It's sad. I arrived promptly at 5:30PM for my 5:30PM appointment to which I was told to 'Have a seat.' (My thoughts: Uhhhhh Ok??? Am I checked in? Can you please confirm?) I waited for an available stylist to begin my wash at 6PM, yes, 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment (at the same establishment who has a strict 15 minute grace period policy for patrons who are running late). I unfortunately couldn't leave as I am headed out of town for a wedding and needed my hair styled today. My hairstylist had no idea what she was doing when it came to washing my hair (the shampoo was terrible - she didn't warn me of the 'cool rinse' they do, she literally said 'You been here before, you know we do the cold rinse...' My thoughts again: 'Yeah, I do, but I am typically prompted when it's going to be switched to cool, and the water is never ICE COLD - this water was ICE COLD'. I don't even know whether my stylist used conditioner. She was ripping my hair out of my head (which was her version of detangling long, thick, curly hair I guess) and left shampoo in my hair, which resulted in my blowout (it was supposed to have been a Manhattan style - the sleek, straight style they advertise) being a greasy, product-filled mess. I asked for a middle part in my hair and she told me I was all set and had not event touched my part. It was at this moment I began to grow frustrated and asked for her to at least attempt to give me a middle part. The photo shown with the striped top is how I left the salon. The photo in the black is of how my hair usually looks when leaving a Drybar location - Drybar in Old Town Alexandria is amazing, by the way. I asked for a stylist who had experience with getting very long, thick, curly hair as pin-straight as possible (I even referred to wanting a silk press) and I left looking just as bad as I came. I could have done this at home and not wasted my time or money. I unfortunately had to leave and couldn't ask for a new stylist (and I also felt like my hair was rushed due to a woman who had a 6:30 pm appointment who showed up on time, but she, too, experienced a 30-minute wait time after checking in and didn't get sat in the stylist chair until, get this - 7PM, which is when this Drybar location CLOSES. The poor woman was desperate for someone to stay late and service her because she had to go to work and could not go to work in the state her hair was in - (she was near tears and said she'd get fired if she showed up to work looking like she did). I tried to give this salon another chance, and unfortunately they're still on the same BS they were on when I wrote my last poor review here. From the other negative experiences other patrons had, I can assure you, it's not just 'angry women having bad days', this place really needs to get it together. New managers, new receptionists, new stylists, EVERYTHING.

    Entrance to DryBar George Town. I loved the gray and yellow accents.

    Ask for Jasmine!!! She made my hair flawless!! Best attention to detail, she blew my hair out before the curling iron even came out! Just the right amount of product and checked in with me along the way to make sure I was happy! A perfectionist with incredible customer service! I got the cosmo this time with a fish tailed braid and a "southern belle" volumized root!

    They have better service and they make good blowouts. The stylists are very professional and they listen to their clients.

I also understand why my appointment needed to be rescheduled. My issue is not with the policy, it's with how I was treated. I was made to feel like an inconvenience from the moment I walked into the salon. I had a 12:45 p.m. appointment and called before leaving home to let the salon know I was running about 10 minutes late, which is their stated grace period. The receptionist told me she would let Sera know. At 12:56 p.m., when I was literally one minute away from the salon, I received a call saying Sera could no longer see me because I was late, and she had back-to-back clients. While I was disappointed, I understood. I asked if I could still come in briefly to speak with Sera because I wasn't even sure I needed a full highlight service, and the receptionist agreed. When I arrived, Sera immediately told me I needed to reschedule and seemed unwilling to discuss my hair beyond commenting that the back was "really dark" and explaining that she had returning clients scheduled after me. She didn't seem to know or care that I was a returning client. Sera had done my hair in February, and I came back because I had really liked her work. Not recognizing me in and of itself is not a big problem--I know a lot of people sit in her chair--but it made the interaction feel impersonal and left me wondering if she'd even prepared for my appointment. I was fully prepared to work with Sera and the receptionist to find another date and time that fit both of our schedules. Instead, both were unhelpful, dismissive, and rude. This experience was especially difficult because I have pretty severe alopecia areata that, thankfully, is now well controlled with medication, allowing me to grow most of my hair back. That said, I wore a wig for five years after losing most of my hair, so finding a stylist I trust is still an incredibly vulnerable and anxiety-producing experience. Every time I see someone new, I have to explain my hair loss and why I prefer a lived-in color that doesn't require overly frequent trips to the salon. I chose to return to Sera because I thought I had found someone I could continue seeing. Instead, I left feeling embarrassed, dismissed, and genuinely upset. I walked out of the salon, called my husband, and cried like a reprimanded little girl. I am a 35-year-old grown-ass woman. Policies are important, and I respect them. Kindness and professionalism are just as important. Had the situation been handled with empathy and respect, I would have happily rescheduled. Instead, I left feeling less like a person and more like a time slot or a dollar sign. It seems like Sera may have enough clients that turning one away isn't a big deal, but I was respectful, cooperative, and ready to work with her to find another appointment. I deserved that same courtesy and respect in return.

    I wanted to share feedback about my recent visit. I arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment,…read morebut no one came to greet or check me in for over five minutes. Two stylists eventually came out, but neither acknowledged me. When I kindly greeted them and mentioned I needed to be checked in, they proceeded to take two other waiting customers. When I asked if the salon was running behind, I was told that they were short-staffed and that I could either wait or rebook--without so much as an apology. I ultimately waited nearly an hour past my scheduled appointment time before being taken back. Throughout the experience, the staff was curt and condescending, which was both surprising and disappointing. I've been a loyal Drybar customer for over ten years and have visited locations across the country. This was by far the poorest experience I've had. If a stylist was unavailable, I would have appreciated a courtesy call so I could adjust my plans accordingly. I have now reached out through multiple channels -- including private message, email, and the post-visit survey -- and have yet to receive any response. Thank you for your time and prompt attention to this matter.

I resent overpaying for haircuts because my needs are very simple (clipper #4 on the top, #1.5 on the sides), so I looked to find a cheap (but good) place in DC.

A very kind stylist named Esmi gave me my usual cut quickly and competently, and it only cost $40. When I told her I'd just moved to DC, she said she hoped I found my new salon. "I think I have!"

In a panic, she grabbed a tube of gel, dabbed it on the rogue hair, and said "maybe some glue...?" Needless to say, Diego's operates on a completely different planet of skill and professionalism. And, "maybe some glue...?" has become a kind of catch-all fiasco meme among my friends.
