This is not the first, but the second time that I've had my hair done at Drybar and felt like it was a complete waste of my time and money. Instead of blowing out my naturally curly and thick hair to make the hair sleek before styling, my stylist barely dried my hair. I had to ask her to blow dry the roots because they were still wet. So instead I ended up with frizzy hair to begin with. I asked for a mai tai and after it was curled, the ends of my hair looked super dry and unkempt. I've gotten the mai tai before and it's never looked like this. The stylist added hairspray on each individual strand before curling so now my hair is frizzy and crunchy. I had to go to an event right afterwards and ended up with hair that I couldn't fix or do anything about. The last time that I had a similar experience at Drybar, I decided that maybe it was a fluke and wouldn't happen again but I'm not sure I would go back anymore. read more

I love this location!!! The service is excellent. I had my appointment and was actually 5 minutes late, but they took me right away. The lady i had, Armina, was amazing! She did my curls perfectly and they lasted till late night. I highly recommend this place and Armina! read more

Scheduled my appointment online. Showed up and within 30 seconds my stylist took me back for my wash. She was super friendly and gave me the curls and volume I was looking for. Super easy and affordable! read more

I love this place! I went today before my baby shower Kayci did an amazing! I told her what I was doing and she said let's do beach waves! The shampoo and head massage was amazing as usual! Can't go wrong at Drybar River Oaks! read more

I'm a regular here. It's the best spot in town to grab a mimosa or coffee and get your hair styled for a hard day of work or night out. And Kayci rocks! read more

Love this location! I live in Dallas but whenever I come to town, I can always trust that I'll get a great blowout here. Super convenient location, always friendly staff & I leave with great looking hair. Thanks River Oaks Drybar read more

I'm a regular here (and others) and went in for a blowout with curls tonight. I wasn't placed in front of a mirror so couldn't see what she was doing. The girl was using a round brush and appeared to be curling it. When she turns me around, my hair is as straight as can be. Note that my hair holds curl well, and I could have straightened it in 20 minutes at my house. Disappointing but not the end of the world until they expected me to pay for the full service. Even the girl checking me out said she was sorry but the district manager wouldn't approve anything but a free conditioning treatment next time. They have lost my business due to poor management and customer service, not a bad blowout. Guess I'll head on down the street to the Blow Dry Bar. read more

I love this place! I had Destinee and she was amazing! I love the products they used on my hair and the blow out was perfect. The best part was they didn't take too long to get the look I was going for. I would highly recommend Drybar. read more

This place is basically heaven on Earth. Not only do they wash your hair but they pamper you the entire time and my favorite movie Something Borrowed is playing. Kaycie is awesome and very talented. She told me exactly what products would benefit my dry color treated hair. Watching her create curls with just a roll brush and blow dryer is magical. read more

Kayci did an amazing job on my floater and Mai Tai blowout! And she's super cool!! Highly recommend her!

Wonderful service and the people were absolutely wonderful! Especially Deja who made my hair gorgeous for my brother's wedding

KAYCI IS A ABSOLUTE SUPERSTAR, every time I go there she is attentive,respectful and her blowouts are the bomb.com, I cant wait for my next one. Thanks again Kayci, see you soon. read more

I'm addicted to this place. Kayci is the best! Everyone is s friendly and extremely professional. A real treat read more

I'll give this location 2 stars for their flexible hours and cute decor. However, every time I come here they are 20-30 minutes behind. It's very frustrating to time and they also take a very long time for a blowout. The blowouts are just ok. Expect average blowout, an hour and a half of your time and all for $45. read more

Every single time I enter I am greeted by someone with a smile. The service is great. I love getting my hair done here.

Love. They are SOOO lovely & kind. And they consistently give great blowouts. Highly recommend. GO HERE!!! DO NOT GO TO "Blow Dry Bar" DOWN THE STREET. read more

This location is great. The receptionists are always so nice and welcoming. Stephanie Diaz did my blowout and did such a great job. I would definitely recommend this place if you'd like great service and quality!! read more

A friend and I took our bride to be sorority sister here to get dolled up before her bachelorette party that night. We had a great time, the staff was great and we walked out feeling fabulous. Unfortunately, despite our care, all of our style and curls fell out within the hour, despite three different hair types and different levels of volume requested. We had fun, but it was really disappointing to watch the bride to be curl her own hair later that day for going out. read more

Angry. Really that's not even the word. My last drybar experience was less than ideal, but still, with great reviews from my friends I decided to give them another try. I CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT with Nicky for Sunday at 2pm on Friday afternoon. I did this to ensure that I got to see someone who was skilled in African American hair because the last time I trusted one of the other stylist to do my hair I left looking like a poodle. I arrive on Sunday, wait for 15 minutes as everyone else around me is being taken back. A very nice lady with red hair comes up and tells me she is so sorry but Nicky is not here yet but they are trying to get in touch with her, but that she will shampoo me while we wait for Nicky. I told her I didn't mind waiting but I did not want her to shampoo me, then Nicky never show up, and I end up paying someone who doesn't know what they are doing for the second time. So I told her I would just wait for one of the other African American ladies I saw working to finish and then they would take me. 15 minutes later the girl at the front tells me that Nicky isn't coming in today. Something about her not working on Sundays? And tells me that their salon manager who trains the stylists will do my hair. Now this salon manager I'm sure is very skilled, but she is not African American. I'm sorry but they're are 3 black ladies in my eye sight that will probably be done in 10 minutes that I will wait for. The girl tells me that I cannot wait for them as this will throw off their schedule and put them way behind so I HAVE to go with the manager. So it's okay for you to inconvenience me but you don't want the schedule thrown off as I wait because of your error?! I guess it's just not in the cards for me to have a good drybar experience. Seeing that I have now waited for 30 minutes for a stylist that is never coming and then being told I have to go to someone else that I have already made it very clear that I am uncomfortable with doing my hair is outrageous. The girl at the front did not try to make any amends for what happened and simply replied "oh, okay." When I said I was just going to have to leave. I'm sure she didn't care as this saved her schedule from being thrown off. Annoying. read more

Summing up my experience with: mediocre. I was expecting my hair to feel silky smooth and have big, bouncy curls. Instead I have stringy haphazard curls and no volume. My stylist did not seem experienced at all. Not worth the $ in my opinion. read more

Tried this place out for my NYE hairstyle and saw Joe. He is so cute and very friendly. Start to finish, everything was nice. Joe would ask me how I prefer my curls etc and stayed engaged with me to ensure I recieved what I was expecting. I'd definitely try this place out again. Appt states 35 mins for a blowout but I was out in 1 hour.....which was the norm at my local salon in Cali. read more

Drybar corporate contacted me a while ago in regards to bad experience I had at another location and gave me store credit to have another blowout. I chose to do it at this location in upper Kirby/river oaks and was very happy with my experience. My stylist, Jeremy, was fun professional and made me feel at ease! He did a fantastic job and I wouldn't hesitate to come back! read more

I love dry bar! I especially love their customer service. I have had multiple blow outs with different stylists and it has always been great! This is a good place to come to if you don't feel like trying anything new and you just want a good blow out. read more

I am a DryBar regular, in fact I'm a "junkie". This started as going only for a special occasions and has now become something I do almost weekly. I have a ton of hair and have tried a couple of other blow dry bars around the city, but none touch DryBar. I now use many of their products at home. I've never had a problem making an appointment and they have always been prompt. I request the same stylist, Margaretta, and when she is working my request is granted. If I'm traveling for work I'll go in the morning before the flight and my hair holds up for a couple of days. Definitely worth the $40. read more

Katie Z. Fantastic!! I had a going away party I this Houston hot humidity. I have short hair and wanted loose curls. Showed her a pic and relaxed! Awesome. read more

Aisha was AMAZING! You can request a stylist when booking an appointment, and I highly recommend requesting her. My appointment did start 25 minutes later than expected, but Aisha's exceptional service made up for it. My curls lasted all night and looked great! read more

Obsessed with this place.. I mean who could possibly pass up a blow out for $40. I've never had issues booking appointments and I even found a stylist that can do biracial curly hair (Elizabeth). She works wonders on my hair. Also, you will fall in love with the smell of your hair that last for days. read more

I like this Dry Bar location and J did an amazing job on my hair. Top notch from her! The reason for my 3 stars instead of 5 is that the receptionist asked me if I wanted anything to drink and I asked for water. She never brought it to me. It wouldn't be a big deal if this hadn't happened to me pretty much every time at the Dry Bar in general! It's like they want to be upscale and offer that nice touch but never follow through on it. Not like I was asking for wine or a cocktail - just water. I am sure my experience is the exception to the rule, but it has been my experience nevertheless. read more

Love this place! I go at least once a month when I'm in the mood to feel fancy. I request Brittany D, she is absolutely wonderful! My curls last for days, and she knows how to master the "big Texas hair" that I love. Now that I think of it, its time to book my next appointment. read more

Admittedly, I probably come here too frequently, but it is just such a treat to have someone else do your hair while you drink coffee, watch chick flicks, and play on your phone. The River Oaks team is always fantastic. Daniel is very attentive and friendly when you walk in the door. Each stylist does a great job and will make any adjustments if you don't like anything. I'll be back soon. read more

Lamont is the B.E.S.T. I have already been back to see him. I do love the champagne. I wish there a few more product offerings. Products seem to be for one hair-type only. The good news is you can bring your own... read more

My experience here could have not been worse. The stylist didn't listen to what I wanted, and gave me a flip that made me look like That Girl. I should have realized looking around the shop that they only knew how to style long hair with a flat iron or with a curling iron. Big waste of money. Don't do it! read more

Easy, quick and overall a wonderful experience. Ask for Je'rric if you have curly or ethnic hair shes paitent and sweet!

Had my first blow out with them and it was fantastic! I would highly recommend them to my friends and family! They have multiple types of blow outs and have a magazine for you to choose from! read more

I am a regular of Kayci, the one you cannot miss with the "hey you" tattoos and whatever color hair strikes her fancy that month. Do NOT let her personal choices fool you. I am as far from punk rock as one gets. If preppie were still a thing, I am more 80s basic than that. This woman has mad skills from handling sophisticated, kill-them-in-the-conference-room me (with my long red hair and approaching 50 that's Southern Comfort meets Cosmo -- or as I call it, Victoria's Secret hair), to the messy beachy waves they call Mai Tais, to the ultra elegant up do wedding hair... but, if I were headed out and wanted to get my inner Gwen Stefani on, I bet she could figure that out, too. I always look feeling fabulous, and that translates to confidence which translates to success in my work life and my home life. She is tremendously skilled, works efficiently, great fun with whom to talk, and just plain good people. Just don't tie up my time slots with her and we can still be friends. : ) read more

The Drybar is my go to for blowouts! The River Oaks location is my favorite. It's always clean and the stylist are always on point. My blowouts last about 3 days! Ask for Jaimie! read more

I came here on a Saturday evening for my first blow out. I waited 10 min even though I had an appt, but it was really busy with people getting their hair done for the holidays so I guess that's not so bad. I loved the clean chic ambiance. Service was friendly and I enjoyed getting my hair done by Giacomo. I got the cosmopolitan and was pleased with the initial result. My hair notoriously can't hold a curl though and that night was no exception, so it was straight less than 3 hours later. For $45 + $10 suggested tip, that's a hefty price given how short of time the curls lasted on me. Bottom line is that I had a good experience, but for you girls who can't hold a curl, don't expect this to be the miracle blow out that changes that. read more
