This place opened at 7AM!!! Amazing!!! Came here for a blowout today. Candice was Awesome! 5 stars!!!! She can bedazzle anything I wish front desk personnel who first booked my appointment was more transparent about pricing structure. I got a blowout without shampoo (but got charged as if I had a shampoo). -1 star read more

I have been coming to Drybar for several years! I recommend it highly! I'm double barely member. read more

It was my first time at Drybar in Los Gatos. My hairdresser/hair bartender Emily was very polite, funny and very understanding. I had a great time! She also made sure to ask me at every step how I felt about the hair washing temperature, what products I would like to use and what temperature I'd like the blowdryer at. She also asked me if I liked my hairstyle or if needed any adjustments too. She also gave me tips on how to preserve my blowdry the next day and over the week too. She was very polite at each step and didn't try to upsell me on anything which I consider a huge bonus point! I'd definitely visit again. I also love the location. It was very clean and although I arrived 5 minutes early to my appointment, Emily was ready to do my hair! read more

Drybar Los Gatos - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Gatos, California

I love Drybar and have been a member for 12 years but this location always struggles with running on time. I've had to wait 10-20 minutes at least 4 times at this point and I don't have the flexibility of always being able to wait. I'm not sure if it's overbooking or what but I've never had that issue in other locations. read more

Great experience at this Dry Bar location. On time. Great customer service. Perfect blow out.

My daughter has come here for many pre-dance styling. Staff is always wonderful and kind. Her hair ends up looking amazing and lasting through the event. As the mom who just sits and waits, the front desk always offers me water or coffee and checks in to see if I need anything. Their customer service is much appreciated! read more

Cindy did exactly what I was looking for! She gave me volume and those loose curls that made my hair feel so luscious and full. I will book with Cindy again and recommend her for anyone looking to have their hair looking fabulous. read more

Drybar Los Gatos - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Gatos, California

I love love love Drybar. Each stylist has their own vibe and 9 out of 10 times, they get the exact look that I want, but just ask for adjustments if you don't like your final look, everyone I've ever had style my hair has been gracious and willing to add the magical finishing touch. The front desk is always so kind and I love that on a cold morning I can get a cup of tea or an ice cup of water on a hot afternoon in the summer. Drybar is like my therapy once a week to clear my head and let someone else just scrub away the stress. How can you not love a place with warm hair dryer and someone essentially playing with your hair for an hour. I've gotten my girlfriends all hooked. read more

This was my first time getting a blow out. I was a little underwhelmed. I got the add on "Cure Liqueur Restorative Oil" ($25) , skip it. She sprayed it on and you could hear the bottle was almost out so I am not sure how much actually got on my hair. She said wait a few minutes (I don't think 2 minutes could have been long enough for it to penetrate) and we will wash next. She washed with shampoo twice but really never got into my scalp just rubbed it to a lather. My hair was washed but didn't feel like I got a good to the scalp clean. We moved back to the chair for styling. She never put on heat protector which I would assume would be basic since you are now going to be drying and curling. She applied Mouse and dried my hair then moved to curling and used finishing spray before applying the iron. Today is the day after the blow out and my hair feels and looks dry. I usually go 7 days between washing but I may have to get in there before that to scrub my scalp and deep condition. It was nice having someone do job for me that is tedious and a lot of work since my hair is long. But I will think twice before I pay $90 again for this. The style came out very nice and I was happy with that. read more

Drybar Los Gatos - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Gatos, California

The salon has good service, an easy to find location, and nice blowouts. But also they're always running late and has me waiting 15-40 minutes every single time. If you're not in a time crunch, would recommend the spot. I wouldn't book here if you have a tight schedule. Ps. Just on an interesting note, if you ask for a blow out, they give you curls. I wasn't sure what was happening until I saw a TikTok mentioning that's a thing now. So round bush blow outs are a bit more old school, and you have to specify I guess? But now I know! read more

Sophie did a great job and she was very talkative and made the experience really nice. She immigrated a picture which is nice if you don't necessarily want something from the catalog. read more

I've been a Drybar customer for over 10 years, and a "Barfly" member on and off for the last 6 years. This location is fine, as they have many stylists and an appointment is fairly easy to come by, even at the last minute. However, not all stylists can handle all types of hair, and I think it's really important that be noted. I've been to this location nearly a dozen times since they've opened, even though the Santana Row location was my preference before they closed last year. I've never really received the same quality blowout from the same stylist twice, with the exception of Kylie (who's an absolute doll and my favorite blow out stylist). I have long, very thick, coarse, and curly hair (3b/c curls). I *know* it's difficult to deal with. Which is why I'm paying for this service. In general as long as my hair is fully dry and smooth, I don't mind, as I'll curl it myself at home the next day anyway. I recently had a blowout that really missed the mark. It just wasn't great for my hair texture and while the stylist worked really hard, after a full hour with the blow dryer my hair was still damp and there was a film on my hair from too much product. I was out of time and had to run to a meeting, so I left and later called the salon the next day to speak with someone about my experience. It took a minute, but the owner eventually called me and heard my concerns and made sure I would consistently be paired with a stylist that could handle my hair. In my experience, the customer service here has generally been good, and this was a nice touch from the owner. If you also have difficult hair, be sure to put in a note if you're booking online, or tell the receptionist when you call to book. Another note, if you book a scalp massage, make sure you're getting the full 10 minutes. $15 extra isn't cheap, get your monies worth girl! read more

I have a very curly hair/texture so I am always a little concerned on getting my hair done in the bay area for the past 10+ years. My first time visiting here was not successful but I was told, by the owner, if I see the right stylist it would be a different story. Therefore, I decided to give it a try this past weekend. She was not only sweet, efficient but very profesional. She did a beautiful job with my that lasted not only through my event but for the entire weekend. All my friends loved it and even asked me who did my hair because they want to see the same amazing, Candice . My hair was really nice, shiny and beautiful style. The place is really comfortable, and beautiful decorated, the front desk is super nice and friendly. I am so happy I did give it a second chance and I can't want to get my hair done again with them. read more

Drybar Los Gatos - My beautiful Hair done by Candice - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Gatos, California

5 stars for this location. I called both the Santa Row location and Los Gatos location to see where I could be serviced and I chose the Los Gatos location even though I lived less than a mile away from the Santana row location. The "vibe" I got through the phone calls was that the Santana Row location seemed curt and the Los Gatos location seemed really friendly and knowledgeable. I checked both location's IGs and saw that the Los Gatos location had a lot of diversity in their staff including their owner and they uploaded more often, so I was able to look more closely at their work & portfolio. Diane, the receptionist who made my appointment, was very kind and accommodating and fit me in for an appointment today, Saturday 3/4/2023 at 10:30am. Diane did a great job at matching me to a great stylist that I vibed with! Tessa, the other receptionist who helped me on the day, was equally as friendly and kind. Offered me complimentary tea. Lupe was my stylist and turns out she's also the store educator! She definitely deserves recognition. I opted for a dry style and she was AMAZING and provided amazing service! She took her time and didn't rush me. She was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what she was doing. She was kind, friendly, and sounded like a great coworker to work with! This is the best experience I've ever had getting my hair styled. The culture in this shop felt at ease and relaxing. Kudos to the owner of this franchise for hiring well! The Dry Bar execs have nothing to worry about. read more

Drybar Los Gatos - The Dry Bar Los Gatos Location - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Gatos, California

Emily was a gem. I came in because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and am in a flare, making it very difficult to wash and blow dry my hair. My husband ended up encouraging me to book to take some of the pain/anxiety away. I was tired after working all day as a Nurse and pretty sore, and Emily picked up on what I wanted exactly. She was so gentle and allowed me to zone out and rest. Honestly, the best hour of my week. It's now the next morning and my hair still looks great, because she did it in a way to make it last. She was obviously skilled and just the sweetest. Super happy with my experience. read more

I came in a few weeks ago and got a blow dry with Emily. She was amazing. So professional and kind. She did a great job blow drying my hair! She also flat ironed my fly aways, which I deeply appreciated. I would definitely go back! Thank you Emily! read more

Always great service Nice people and even when it's super busy Love my hair! Never disappointed with any of the stylists read more

Update: I see the manager thinks I am just trying to get comp'd blow outs, which isn't the case. So I'm including a photo of my "curled hair" I have also only complained once when they cancel my appt last minute because they don't have employees who can do black hair. I don't think I got a free blowout, I do believe they just gave me a free add on. I just left with a disaster of a blow out. I booked it for 7AM so I can head into a presentation with my hair looking great and that is not the case. She took a long time, I asked for my hair straightened at the root and curled at the end, neither were done but she said she tried. I feel like I could have done the same low grade effort at home. Now I have to go into work with my hair a dry mess, and I just feel disappointed and let down. I think it's all about finding the right hair dresser but I won't be taking a chance at the LG location again. read more

Drybar Los Gatos - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Gatos, California

Cathy/Kathy at this location did a phenomenal job giving me the old fashioned of my dreams! My hair was waist length (now hip length) but that wasn't a challenge for her - she reassured me she'd work with my hair length and type. I had gotten an old-fashioned at another location but my appointment was waaaay earlier so I had to comb the curls a bit when the event had begun. However, I was able to get this appointment closer to my event time which made the results stunning and ready for the party I attended. I initially was going to get a blow-out, but this location was busy and short staffed. By the time I was seen, I was already running 30 minutes behind my appointment time and instead, chose to do a dry styling. It was really surprising we didn't get frequent enough updates, so we sat and waited feeling a bit clueless. I don't know if this is an isolated situation or a reoccurring one, but it was an inconvenience which dropped a star for me. On the other hand, Cathy/Kathy was friendly and worked on my hair efficiently given the time frame we were working with. She had asked me good questions to get background on how I felt about product, volume, and wave depth - all of which, helped me achieve a stunning outcome. The tvs were playing "Confessions of a Shopaholic" which was a fun and upbeat choice. The location is really clean and well maintained. The white marble and yellow contrast makes the space look upscale and trendy. I liked how they display their products and while getting your hair done, you'll fall in love with some if not all. It's a great way to demonstrate the products - I know the volumizing spray is a must for me! This experience was overall very positive despite the time frame being off. I will say that my stylist's work had convinced me to want to get the Barfly membership next time I'm in the area. The pampering provided is necessary after a busy and tiring schedule. Making time to get dolled up and feel like a celebrity makes DryBar a dream come true. Make sure you reserve a time slot ahead of time before the date of your event - I had gotten a last minute slot, but they disappear within seconds so be prepared. It's not a walk in friendly business, and with the popularity, it's better to reserve a time instead. Thank you to my stylist's hard work! She mentioned the Old fashioned isn't requested as often, but she made it look so polished and great. She also made sure to spray and style my hair until it was absolutely perfect - her attention to detail was spectacular. I'll definitely be back and I'm excited for my next styling! read more

I'll start by saying I enjoyed the experience overall as this was my first time going to dry bar. I find the concept of having someone else wash and style my hair very relaxing. My stylist was kind, but pretty unengaging. I enjoyed getting my hair washed. Her scalp massage felt nice. I'm not sure what product she used in my hair, but we didn't get much volume and the curls were almost gone two hours after the service. She sprayed my hair a lot with what I thought was hairspray, but with as well as the curls have held, it must not have been a strong one. She also didn't dry my bangs the way I had asked, which caused them to start with the side instead of being straight on. I felt really welcomed by the receptionist so that was nice. read more

10/2/2023 update Talked to the manager, who figured out how to process my gift card. Tip: if you get a "Wellbiz Brands" gift card from Cashstar, treat it like a credit/debit card rather than a gift card. While I do wish the original checkout experience had been easier, I appreciate that it worked out in the end and the actual blowout was great and lasted for 5 days (with hairspray touchups throughout the week + dry shampoo). Updating my rating! ==== Clean, new location. Had a good hair wash and style. My sister gave me a "Wellbiz Brands" (DryBar, Elements Massage, etc) e-gift card that I tried to redeem when checking out. The front desk receptionist said it wasn't working and that the manager would call me to sort it out. I never received a call and was surprised to see a credit card charge today without ever being notified. Turned my nice birthday gift into an unpleasant experience, unfortunately. read more

DO NOT BOOK AN APPOINTMENT HERE. I wish I was writing a better review but despite giving a semi-decent blow-out, Drybar Los Gatos has absolutely terrible service. I scheduled a blow-out appointment before an extremely busy day and arrived right on time at 7am. My timing was extremely tight as I had a series of big meetings later that morning. The front desk person told me the stylist might be 5 minutes late and then eventually told me they would be 30 minutes late. I asked if there was anything I could do to get my appointment started, wash my own hair, etc. and she said no, she couldn't allow me to do that because it was dangerous and she would get in trouble. When the stylist showed up, he was surly and rude. So, finally, after about 40 mins of waiting, I left, drove home and washed and blew dry my own hair. Overall, truly one of the worst customer experiences I've ever had. read more

Had a quick consult with V, my hair is wavy/straight/ has a mind of it's own. V was so helpful in figuring out my services. I was nervous because santana row is closer to me but closed now. Honestly, I had a better experience walking through los gatos drybar door than the SR door. V helped me figure out the right style for my hair. Will follow up with the result. read more

The location is lovely, the salon is clean and well-kept, and the staff is organized, friendly, and on-time. For all of that, I would give it 5 stars, but this review is based solely on my blowout experience, which I found to be average. As a girl with curly-ish hair, I'm already skeptical of trying a new place for a blowout, because you always run the risk that the stylists are not experienced with your hair texture. This place had such good reviews, I thought to give it a try. My stylist was professional and lovely, and I'm sure she does an amazing job on others' hair. I don't know if my hair was tough to work with or she didn't have experience with curly hair. She washed my hair nicely and was very kind and courteous. But, when you're shown the mirror at the end of your blowout, you expect to be happy with the results. What stood out was that my hair was still frizzy at the top when my stylist was finished, which I think is a basic expectation of salon-treated hair. When I went home and turned around (the stylist didn't show me the back of my head at the salon) I also saw that there were some frizzy, curly bits, as if the stylist had not gotten all the way through. I was extra surprised because I paid $15 extra for a "silky smooth" product application and also saw her use the hair straightener. I was expected to be blown away (no pun intended ) by all of the fabulous reviews. This was a fine blowout, but not good or great job. It's a lovely salon, but I would not personally return, or recommend this to my fellow textured haired ladies, unless there is a stylist there that has experience with curly / wavy hair! I do a comparable blowout myself at home with a wand brush. For context; my hair is wavy/curly, medium-long, and neither very thin or thick. My hair is not naturally straight, but it's certainly not hard to work with. Still on the hunt for a fabulous Bay Area blowout for a curly haired girl. Cheers read more

Omg favorite drybar location now! It was my first time getting a blow out at this location yesterday and I had daphne as my stylist and she did a BOMB job!! At the end of the session, i looked in the mirror and It looked exactly how i wanted it to look!! Perfectly sized curls/waves, with just the right amount of bounce and hair looked so shiny after! Just the right amount of hair spray too because my hair felt light and not at all weighed down like some other hair sprays feel. My hair doesn't tend to hold curls that well in the past.. but my dinner was at 6pm and the show at 8pm and the curls lasted the entire night and still looked good at end! THANK YOU Daphne and drybar! Will definitely be coming back :)))) read more

This is my second time trying out a Drybar service. The first time, my hair did not last more than 1 hour. This last time, it lasted 4 hours but I had to redo my hair because my hair was flat by the time it was my event. I want to love going here but it's just not for me. I'm not sure if it's the products, the styling tools or what, but it just doesn't workout for me. read more

My wife who has thin hair recently came in to do French braids before a wedding for a wavy look. Something she's come to this location multiple times to do so this would have been routine for her. This last appointment, the stylist pulled way too tightly on the hair and used the edge product. My wife woke up with severe headache the next day and upon taking the braids out, also pulled out a handful of hair...not something you want to start your day with given you have to look your best for a wedding later. The stylists technique probably works on people with thicker hair, but it isn't appropriate for someone with thin/straight hair. read more

Drybar Los Gatos - Handful of hair. First time this has ever happened here - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Gatos, California

Came in with a group of 4. Our experience was amazing!! Great quality service and friendly.

Great experience! I got a dry blow out. Curls are on point. Alyssa is the best! Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Front desk chick didn't care if I lived or died lol but she did compliment my hair after. I wanted to look nice for my birthday & needed help with my extensions I asked for loose beachy waves and showed a picture of my hair from a few weeks back for inspo. My hair ended up suuuper curly even the ends - kinda the opposite of loose waves - so we had to straighten pieces out once finished. I feel like all of my natural hair was curled separately from the extensions which looked a little helmet-y. My stylist was really nice, but idk her name because I never got it. They were 20 mins behind which is whatever but it was never acknowledged. Not my favorite experience. read more

I have been a long term dry bar member, and have recently been to the new location twice to get a good feel. I will say this is a beautiful location, but that has its ups and downs. There is all glass so mid-day there is a lot of glare and daylight. The parking lot is a bit of a nightmare, and it is easier to park in the larger lot right off the street versus the lot in front. They are still working out the kinks at the front desk too. The front desk person was kind, but seemed overwhelmed checking out a guest and a guest coming in. I was not greeted or acknowledged in any way. The stylists were efficient and did a great job both times. I will also say, the updates of the design for the tools and dryers is sleek and seems to make it easier for the stylists Overall I am thrilled there is a Los Gatos location, just hope they get some blinds and work out the kinks. read more

Made me wait 30 min while another stylist was sitting on his phone. Apparently he couldn't even spend time washing my hair while I waited for another stylist because he had another client "locked in". Didn't even have the decency to call me to tell me they were running insanely behind read more

Candice and Irma! Nothing but thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up. The shop is clean scheduling is a breeze location has parking right off the freeway. I have extremely thick and long hair. This is no problem for Candace and Irma. If you want to get in and out in a breeze with fresh hair, ready for a night on the town, schedule with either of them. There is nothing like freshly styled hair. Even if you have nowhere to go, you still feel fancy. Then to the shop several times every time is chefs kiss. read more

Amazing blowout! Love that they open at 7am! Front staff was very professional and nice

Pretty excited to have a second blow dry bar open in LG. The hours are great since they are open as late as 7pm. I booked an appointment with them at 8:00 and my hair was done by Elisabeth. She did such an amazing job! I asked for a Mai Tai ( beach wave) and it's exactly how I wanted. It even lasted for 3 days! Usually my hair won't last past the door. I'll definitely be back again! read more

I've been coming here multiple times, and I always pay the same price for a blow out , I always come in with my hair wash and wet , And today they decided to charge me for a hair wash after I told them múltiple times , I always come in with wash and wet hair , They could've easily just told me they change the rules with coming in with wet hair .Managed need to train all their staff the same to give the same prices all the time . read more
