GREAT service and lots of extras. Really did a good job of getting me in and out without feeling rushed. read more

Third time at this particular location. I've enjoyed it and loved the way my hair turned out, but last night I had the worst floater of my life. My stylist was so sweet- so sweet! But I felt like she was mauling my scalp. She had nails and kept digging them in. I almost asked her to stop, but I held out hope that it would get better at some point. It didn't. Extreme sad face. She was so considerate with every other part of the wash and blow dry, I would go back for her styling, but never again for a floater. I was sad I wasted $10 for that. Other than that, Drybar is exceptional all around. read more

I went to Dry Bar last Sunday afternoon to get my hair curled for a wedding I was in Sunday evening. I'm sad to report my "curls" didn't even stay in for an hour after I had my hair done. Dry Bar sent me an online survey which I filled out the following day, but I never heard back from them (it's now been 7 days), so I'm now going to share my experience here so hopefully others can avoid being disappointed as well. Let me start off by saying the place was very clean and the staff and my stylist (Loralee) were very nice. I was offered a drink right away and did not have to wait at all for my appointment. I told Loralee the style of curls and the braid I wanted and she understood and all seemed to be great. I even brought Redken spray I've used in the past so I knew my curls would stay in all night. After having my hair washed Loralee started blow drying my hair. She explained, "At Dry Bar we blow dry your hair with a round brush, then go in and add curls." Okay...I can't curl my hair, so I trusted in their process. When it came time to add the curls, she apparently didn't use enough of the spray I brought - she did make sure to use a lot of the Dry Bar products. The loose braids on each side were nice and she did show me how they would look before she put them in. She went back and touched up some curls, sprayed it a lot (which I asked for) and assured me I would be good to go all night as she knew I was in a wedding. By the time I got home the curls started getting looser. They obviously were not put in tight enough. Even I know you put them in tighter than you want them to be since they do relax a bit. Naturally, I started freaking out as I was on a tight schedule to finish getting ready and to get to where I needed to be on time. As I was rushing to get ready I sent an SOS out to the rest of the bridal party to see if anyone could help me ASAP when I arrived. Luckily, someone was able to help me and my hair was FULLY RE-CURLED about 30 minutes prior to the ceremony. This person used my spray as directed and a curling wand and the curls stayed in all night as I needed. I explained the above in the survey. Never heard back from them, which tells me a lot about their customer service at this place as well. Very happy to take your money ($60 total - $40 for the blow out, $10 for the braid and $10 tip), but not so concerned about getting back to anyone after having a completely disappointing experience. Based on some of the other negative reviews I've now read on here...my suggestion is to look elsewhere if you need to get your hair done - especially for any special event. Avoid the stress and wasting your money. read more

I am not a high maintenance hair person, never have been. When I bought my Groupon for Drybar I was curious what a business focused solely on blowing out hair would be like. Would I find it as satisfying as a full-blown (no pun intended) salon? Would I be converted to a blow-out snob? Or would I leave feeling satisfied but without the urge or strong desire to blow my hair out? I loved it. I mean, really. I wasn't quite sure what my hair was going to look like (I have wavy medium length hair with layers) and wanted my blow-out to last the whole weekend so my stylist asked me what i wanted, I explained straighter than curlier but not too straight. And man, did he get it! He nailed it so dead on that my hair has NEVER looked so fabulous. I received so many compliments on my hair and it lasted practically the whole weekend (I ended up in rainy weather, boo). Moral of this story? Whether you've gotten a blow out before or not, do not hesitate, not a second longer (your hair and your ego will thank you), and get your beautiful self and tresses into Drybar. Now. I am sure any location will do, though I went to the one in Studio City (it was just fabulous). Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Need I say more? I'm sure i could! ...but how about I let you find out for yourself. read more

I am torn between 2-3 stars here. The concept is great, something that I never thought I would utilize. Being 8 months pregnant and August in LA, the last thing I want to do is my hair. I went here before my baby shower and for $35 bucks wasn't expecting to be blown away- and I wasn't (sorry for the unexpected pun). The salon is very nice, and it was a Sunday at 9. Suprisingly by the time I left the place was packed- great business. I didn't have the best stylst. To be honest, I couldn't tell you her name if you paid me because she was that unfriendly. She tried to wash my hair with ice cold water- how about waiting a few for the water to warm up? I wasn't sure what I wanted (my fault I suppose), but didn't want to look like a debutante either. I said a little volume. Holy s&^t I looked like I came off of the set of Steel Magnolias in the 80s. I was honestly scared. She did ask if it was too much volume and I said YES. With a snarky attitude she said "So you DO want sleek and straight" and I replied yes. 5 minutes later, I had hair that could be in pictures. Nice and smooth with a good part. The price you can't beat. The recommendation of $10 to tip, a bit much and obnoxious. I did give $10, probably because it was the day of my shower and I was giddy. If I go back and I probably will before I have my baby, I would give what I think was worthy. "She" wasn't worthy of the $10 sorry, more like real 20% being $7. Overall: great concept, easy process and good street parking or free valet next to Il Tramazino and Le Pain Quotidien. read more

I come here at least twice a month for a blow dry and I love it! I have very thick, difficult hair and they always do a wonderful job. I love the ease of the app to schedule appointments. I love it so much I committed to a bar fly membership (I come at least twice a month). The stylists are all lovely, friendly and efficient. The negatives are parking (make sure and give yourself extra time to find parking) and the cost (but we all know this upfront). Getting a blow out is my favorite indulgence and I thank the dry bar for existing!! read more

I have been hearing all of the hype about the blow dry-bar, and after my first experience there today a mere 1/2 hour ago (Studio City location), all I can say is that my expectations were definitely way too high. The shampoo job was one of the worst I've ever had. As mentioned, my appointment was not even an hour ago, and my hair already looks greasy to me. And that's with no hairspray or product - I never get hairspray with my blow outs for the purpose of it looking as least oily as possible. I even mentioned to my stylist that my hair was pretty dirty and could use a good scrubbing, but she only BARELY lathered the top with shampoo and didn't really get in there to wash it. The blow dry itself was also extremely disappointing, I felt like my stylist was just out of beauty school and didn't have the hang of really having to pull to straighten/blow-out wavy, let alone curly hair. I have already gone over my hair with my flat-iron, especially at the roots which are disappointingly still pretty wavy. Yes, it's nice that they offer the water, have the snacks for purchase, the cute menus, etc. - but please. Who needs any of that if the one service they offer is pretty disappointing. I was really excited to try the dry-bar for the first time, but am feeling like I should have just done my hair myself... and that I just threw $45 ($35 + the $10 gratuity it was "suggested" I leave) in the trash. Sigh. read more

I love this place. I go here whenever I need to look great for an event or meeting. The price is affordable. In fact, it is about the same to go i to a chain salon and ask for a blow out. I love the menu so I know the look I am getting ahead of time, too . read more

Every time I one to this location I have to wait 30 mins. +.. It's ridiculous. This will be my last time getting my hair done here. So ridiculous!. read more

I had my appointment for 5:30pm, I showed up at 5:10pm and the young lady at the front desk was super nice and she got me checked in and asked me to have a seat. I was greeted by my stylist Leila (not sure if spelled her name correct) She was a very nice lady asked a few questions to see what kind of style I wanted and we went to wash my hair. When I made the appointment on line I had asked for a specific stylist based on reading the reviews...It would have been nice if I was told that this person can't help you or they are off today or whatever the reason may be. Please don't get me wrong, I loved the lady who helped me, but from a customers point of view it's bad service. After we washed my hair and came back to the station, I was asked by another girl if I wanted something to drink and I said sure water would be fine. I never got my water, granted she passed by 10x and still failed to give me the water, she even stopped to change the movie that was playing I went up to pay after my blow dry and for some reason this receptionist just didn't like me or I didn't meet her demographics I waited there and she made eye contact with me as she checked on girl in, charged another and then cheeked another lady in for her 6:15pm appointment, then she took care of my payment. I was standing in line as she greeted and helped 3 other people then me...Two of the people she checked in for appointments walked in as I was standing in front of the register. I will not go back to this location again...I didn't appreciate her (receptionist with long blond hair working on 5/30/14 around 6pm) helping me. I left my stylist a tip with her...I hope she gave it to her I'm giving two stars just because of the service of the receptionist. read more

I'm not sure what the world did before Dry Bar, but I can't say enough about this place! I'm always way too busy to spend time on my hair, but I want it to look amazing. That's where Dry Bar comes in. I schedule an appointment before work (they open at 7, amazing) and in about an hour my hair looks better than anything I could ever do myself. While I'm betting my hair done, I can knock out a ton of work before I even get in to the office. Win/win! The staff is friendly, accommodating, and if you don't like the way your hair comes out, they'll gladly fix it. I've already scheduled two more appointments while getting my hair blown out today. A modern day convenience! Bonus: they have wifi!! Makes working so much easier! read more

I recently had to walk the red carpet for an award ceremony and called in to dry bar a day the day before. I rarely do updos and I was a bit nervous because I had to leave straight to the awards after getting my hair done. Needless to say they slayed my hair, and I left felling super pretty. Thank u all so much!!! read more

Been wanting to come here for a while now. I had the Cosmo done. It looked good from the back but I was not so crazy aobut the front. BUT it was still better than what i could make my own hair look like! The salon is cute although a bit busy and loud with all the hair dryers going on at once. However, I got to sip champagne while watching When Harry Met Sally. Not a bad experience overall. I think the results of your hair must vary from stylist to stylist. I love the concept behind Drybar tho! read more

WHY IS THIS PLACE SO DIFFICULT TO GET A HOLD OF???? I have been unable to get an online appt. and have been ttrying for 2 hours to speak to a live person. Dont they realize I have an emergency event tonight and need hair help? OK- it is my fault for waiting until now but life is busy! I at least wish I could get a hold of a live person to tell me they are booked. No one likes hearing a recording in an emergency : ( read more

This was my second time trying Drybar and I have to say that I somehow always leave feeling worse about myself. The last time, my hair was somewhat cute but fell flat within 20 minutes. This time I asked my stylist to please curl with a flat iron because my hair holds better that way but she insisted that's not true. Within 2 hours after I left, my hair was straighter than it normally is (I got the Mai Tai style). I'm just fed up with trying to make this work. I see so many other women leaving looking fabulous yet I always leave looking pathetic and the curl never lasts. read more

To be honest I wouldn't even give a single star but the app makes me give one because this was THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!!. The first stylist did nothing that I asked and a second one tried to fix it with a curling iron that's when it went from bad to worse. I started crying because there was NO WAY I could go out in public looking like some Dorothy Hamil from the 70s. It was a now THIRD stylist who was nice, but the top was flat and 1 hour later all the curl was gone and my hair was once again flat and fried from all the shampooing. The staff and the first stylist just smirked and laughed at me. The entire experience was embarrassing and humiliating. I have a very large group of girlfriends and you can bet they all know about this awful day. NEVER GOING BACK!!!! read more

I came in for an up-do and I left very unhappy. This place is only good for blow drys. The girl who did my hair told the receptionist she was confident she can do my hair after I showed a picture of how I want it. She absolutely did not know what she was doing. She asked for help a few times. I wasn't even given an apology or a discount even after stating that I was not satisfied. At the wedding, my hair kept falling apart and I had to fix it several times read more

Loved my blowout, loved my sister's blowout. Nice lady who did my hair told me her name twice but I couldn't understand her and was embarassed to ask a third time....sounded like "Penis".... read more

I went to DryBar on Jan. 27 since a friend of mine was flying in and I wanted to look especially sexy for him. It was my first time at DryBar. When I arrived, it was crowded of course since it was Friday afternoon. I was greeted, checked in and asked what I wanted to drink. I told the front desk staffer (who was nice enough) but it never came. In addition to the crowd and lack of drink, the music was loud... so much so, I could barely have a conversation with my stylist! And, many of the stylists had attitude, making me think to myself that I would not want them doing my hair. Is it so hard to smile, even though you may hate having to straighten products or switch out brushes? With that said my stylist was very nice, she gave me a great shampoo, made my drink and my hair came out ok. My stylist said my hair wasnt going to hold the curl, which would be a first ever. While my hair is fine, it is naturally wavy and I have curled my own hair with rollers and had others do it with a curling iron with lasting results. I've even curled my hair using socks and had the curls last for two days, using no magic product or anything. Unfortunately, my stylist was right: The curls barely lasted until I picked up my friend four hours later. :( I was contacted by DryBar after responding to a "how did we do?" email and offered another blowout gratis. I returned the call (several days later because I was out of town) to take them up on the offer and am waiting to hear back. I am willing to give them another chance but remain not so hopeful it will be any different, regardless of location, given what I have read here on Yelp. Truthfully, this makes me sad because the concept is good and the rate affordable. read more

Loved it! It was my first time using Dry Bar and I had a great experience. I was called 2 mins after check in so right on time. My stylist was super friendly, she gave me a great scalp massage while washing my hair and then the best curls I could imagine. I was perfect for the evening and the curls really lasted for 3 days. My hair was soft, light, shiny. read more

At this point, I'm just reluctantly finishing my previously purchased appointments. I was so happy when this place first opened - I had some great experiences and purchased several blow dry appointments at once. Unfortunately, it's gone downhill - and now there are other options in town. I have not a had a good blow dry over the last 3 or 4 times. I always make an appointment in advance and have experienced long wait times. The blow dry has become very inconsistent. I've tried to book an appointment with a preferred stylist and then I get there and she is unavailable. Following that, I was promised an experienced senior stylist, and my blow dry was from a young girl who told me she just started there. I was not happy with the result. I wrote to the owner of the salon who promises she personally answers every email -- and never heard back. So ... I think I'm done. read more

I have fairly long hair and wanted the Cosmopolitan (but with volume) which is loose curls. I loved the curls, but there wasn't much volume. The place is cute and the $35 includes a glass of wine or champagne I think. Not bad. My stylist spent more than 45 minutes total with me which was great. I think if you have shorter hair you will be in and out more quickly. read more

Had an amazing time last night. Took my best friend here for her birthday. We were running late because of 101 traffic so I called and they were very sweet to inform them. They took us 30min late. I was super gracious. I've only had my hair done twice and the last time was 7years ago on.my 1year anniversary. Now with a 5mo baby boy and a new home, I was in dire need of some girl time. My friend was ecstatic! Hair. Breakfast at Tiffany's playing. Champagne. All perfect perfect! She said that this was her heaven. My husband, who I've been with for 12 years has never smelled my hair this much !!!! Giving me more hugs so he can get a whiff. He is so particular with smells too. If there is any way I can find out what they used and how I can get this happy husband making hair smell everyday, I would be extremely happy!!! Love the ladies and service. Very clean and great atmosphere!!!! Thank you everyone!! Thank you dry bar!! You've made me one very happy new mommy.happy best friend birthday. And a very happy new daddy that wants to know what they used! Oxoxoxoxo We will be back soon. read more

*sigh* I so wanted to love this. I arrived on a Friday, late morning and the place was packed. Parking was naturally difficult on Ventura Blvd, so I was right on time. The receptionist was friendly and told me my stylist would be right with me. I admired the cute yellow and gray-themed decor, and 2 minutes later my stylist popped up, calling my name. About 10 seconds after that, my hair was being washed. They mean business around here, no time for small talk! I thought she did a relatively thorough job with the shampoo, though I could have done without her comments that my hair was very dry and in desperate need of a deep conditioning (which they just so happen to have for sale here!). I also could have done without her comments that my hair was REALLY brassy. Thanks. I just had it dyed 3 weeks earlier. Do you color hair here and wish to "fix" it? No? Why are you insulting me? I actually quite like it this way, thanks. This is when the worst part began. The blow out. My GOD this was the most painful blowout I've ever ever had. I actually posted on my facebook that I thought my head was bleeding afterward. She yanked at my curly hair as though it wasn't attached to my human head. No regards for that whatsoever. Normally when someone detangles hair, they gently hold on to the bit of hair above the area they're detangling so as not to be pulling on the person's hair from the root. Nope, not here! Either she's unversed in the art of caring for someone's hair (I did suspect that most of the stylists here would be fresh out of beauty school - because really, what creative fun is there in blowing hair dry hour after hour?) OR she had it out for me since I'm so ridiculously good looking. Whatever. I left with my hair straight, just like I asked for, and the whole ordeal cost me $45 ($35 plus the $10 so classily hinted at on signs posted at each station). So yes I give it the extra star for that, because really, straight hair was accomplished that day. But my blow out really didn't last as long as it normally would from other salons, which really charge the same price for this service, and the usually fantastic smelling hair you get from the salon didn't really last longer than the first day here. I really don't think I'd come back, at least not without taking some tranquilizers first. read more

This place is busy!! Even at 2 on a Thursday! Whoa. The check in was a bit disorganized and it was hard to tell where I should go to let them know i was here for an appointment. But eventually I was introduced to my stylist and brought back immediately for an incredible head massage and deep conditioning treatment. Returning to the station, I was asked if I would like anything to drink. I asked "well, maybe...what do you have?". What do they have? CHAMPS. "Oh it's on!", I thought, as my bridesmaid arrived to be greeted with free champagne. It's all lovely but the curls didn't last more than two hours for my event. Bummer. My hair is so fine and light it makes no sense why it wouldn't hold! read more

Ok, so I'll admit. I am obsessed with DryBar. I wish I had time in my schedule and my budget to go every single week. My hair never looks as awesome as when they do it. I literally got three compliments in the hour following my blowout this afternoon. I used to be a devotee of the WeHo location, but I just moved to the Valley, so now this is my place. I have A LOT of wavy/curly/unruly hair, so believe when I say that I don't give out compliments to hair stylists everyday. In fact, my own regular stylist can't blow out my hair as well as DryBar. I've always had a different stylist, and they have always been awesome. Just be specific and tell them what you need. Oh, and I always ask for spray. As for the tip sign, I don't mind it. It's not like they are telling you it's a Mandatory $10 tip. It's not. It's just a suggestion. As a former waitress, it doesn't bother me one bit. And the customer service is excellent. They always follow up with an email. And, if they make an error (as they did with me last month, when my boyfriend tried to surprise me by paying for my blowout - but they didn't charge him), they make it right. They comped me an extra blowout! Woo-hoo! Everytime I leave here, I sing in my head that old commercial jingle, "like you just stepped out of a saaaalllllon!" (Did I just date myself there??) read more

Alright......Drybar. Let's try and get it together. I went to get my hair done here FOR THE FIRST TIME and honestly, had such a "Meh" experience. Which is SO disappointing! considering the ambiance it allures and the concept. #1 "UMMM... IS THAT IT?" I chose to get the "Manhattan" hair style (picture describes: slick, shinny flow-y). What I got was a simple, plain blow dry (if I, a person that doesn't know anything about hair can do it at home--it's way to plain to pay for). The hairstylist was nice-- but that doesn't always cover it when your paying for a $40 service. #2 STUDIO CITY DRYBAR LOCATION--- THE RECEPTIONIST!! Holy-hell. Half these reviews is how she needs to take the attitude down to atleast a level 6. Yesssh. Who decided to hire that girl??! lol She literally acts like she "CANNOT DEAL" with everyone that walks in there. #3 YOU CAN'T CALL THE FRONT DESK DIRECTLY Which, look I get. It's way too loud to answer phones there. But if you know you're in a location that is in a busy street area with NO parking whatsoever, could ya let a sista know? All I'm saying is, include it in the booking email or have the operator warn you before booking. It really does make all the difference in the world for you and your client. So they don't walk in 10 minutes late because they spent 30 minutes looking for parking on a Saturday. And now have to endure the infamous waiting list. And unfortunately, this last visit on Saturday will be my last. Au revoir, Drybar. You were worth a shot. read more

I decided to try this place out since I only heard great things about it. My first experience was great. I made another appointment and requested a specific stylist to do my hair. I made an appointment for August 3rd at 3:15 PM. Once I arrived 25 minutes before my appointment I was greeted very rudely; when I asked about my request the girl brushed it off and said she would check but never did. Both my friend and I were never asked if we wanted water or anything. One curly brown-haired girl that was working at the front desk kept walking by me and my friend giving the both of us dirty looks. After my first experience which was excellent I was very disappointed. I highly doubt if I would want to come back again after this horrible service. read more

And the sleeper award of the evening goes to drybar!! (applause) From the moment I walked in here on my birthday I loved it. I was greeted warmly with a very friendly receptionist from whom it took all of 30 seconds for her to offer me a drink. Really?! I was like "do you mean water or tea?" and she said "if you want or white wine, or champagne or a mimosa....." me: "yes please!" So that started us out on the right foot. I also saw that they had about 10 stations so I knew I wouldn't be waiting long. But even if I did have to wait long, I had champagne and every magazine on earth I could possibly want to read! Yay! Girl heaven. They had a Drew Barrymore movie on and tunes blasting through the ipod. The wash was nice followed by a terrific blowout and a slight curl. The whole thing took 35 minutes for $35. i will def be back especially for a bridesmaid outing--this place is perfect for that. I waved goodbye to J. Love Hewitt on the way out, thanks Hollywood :) read more

drybar has been a saving grace for me. I first came here because I was in a bind and my regular hairdresser wasn't able to fit me in so I decided to check it out. The thing is, as a black female, I don't trust just anyone to do my hair because most people don't have experience with my hair type/texture. It took me a couple of visits before I met Sam who did an amazing job. I was shocked and instantly hooked. She wasn't scared and worked with such great ease on my hair. In order to be styled by Sam, I call at least a week or so in advance. She's really busy so don't wait until the last minute. Today's visit was pleasant as always and I look forward to the next time. My favorite part is that I can get in and out with a wash, blowdry and flat iron within an hour and fifteen. If I were to go anywhere else, it'd be at least a three hour visit. They've done a good job with this concept, there's usually good music, pretty decor and even bubbly! Just remember they only do blowouts (and updos) - no cuts or color. read more

I went to Drybar for the first time this past Saturday to get my hair done for a night out on the town. I am tragically inept when it comes to doing anything to my hair besides blow drying and using a straightener, and I wanted to have some nice curl and bounce to my hair for this evening out! When arrived for my afternoon appt (I happened to find a meter right out front, but I realize that was just luck), I was greeted by the receptionist. I gave her my name, she checked me in and asked if I wanted anything to drink. When I said 'no' (I saw people had water, coffee, and WINE - woo hoo!), she told me to have a seat. Now, I booked online and this was my first time here - so I was a little unnerved on how "it" worked. I had no idea who was going to be doing my hair or what to expect. It was also beyond hectic and loud in there, which added to my initial uneasiness. After about a 10 minute wait, a stylist came up to me gave me their name and walked away before I could even introduce myself. OK, slightly rude, but I knew it was busy. However, I was unsure if I was supposed to follow, or what. I just kinda blindly followed the stylist. When I got to their chair, I was asked what I wanted. I said I wanted some loose curl, but I was unsure with my hair length and was open to any suggestions. The stylist just said, "OK, follow me." No suggestion, didn't act like anything I said was absorbed. But, oh well, I followed again to the hair washing place. During the course of the appt, the stylist was friendly, but not overly talkative. At least better than the beginning. I attempted to watch some of the movie they were playing. Now the important part - my hair. It looked great! Exactly what I wanted - so they were listening to me and just needed better communication skills. My only complaint was that not enough product was used and I had to hairspray and slightly improvise when I got home. No biggie over all. In Summary: 1. Hectic inside, but it was Saturday afternoon. I would suggest letting people know it's your first time there - maybe the workers will explain the situation better. 2. Friendly staff, once you beat them down with conversation 3. If your hair seems easy (which I believe mine did - not really curly, blow dries in 5 minutes), then they seem to rush through your appt 6. Over all a good treat for a special occasion. I would give 3.5 stars if possible. read more

This is the coolest concept ever! Quick blowouts, styles, and up dos at an affordable price. Went here yesterday to get my hair done for a wedding and I am really pleased. Not everything was perfect but, my stylist really made up for the bad stuff. The bad: 1) There is no parking except for the valet at IL Tramezzino. That's a nightmare in itself. So, I had to park almost a city block away and it was really windy...not exactly ideal after you just get your hair done. 2) The music is unnecessarily loud. I couldn't hear my stylist and it kinda gave me a headache. Maybe I'm just getting old. 3) They took me in 10 minutes late and I was really pressed for time so this stressed me out big time. The awesome: 1) Free drinks including champagne, mimosas, coffee, and water. 2) My stylist was quick and was done with my hair within 30 minutes! 3) My hair looked awesome. 4) Great price...35! I have really long hair and a lot of it. The good stuff definitely makes up for the bad. I'll be back...no question! read more

I love drybar, so much so that I signed up for their membership program but may have to rethink that after today. I was pressed for time for an engagement which is why I booked an appointment for today. I arrive and have to wait 15 minutes for a stylist. When I walked in a handful of stylists were leaving for the day. Once I made it to the chair everything was great. The stylist was great, hair turned out great. Then when it came to check out the hostess had trouble locating my account and credits. I showed her my confirmation email for the membership, I showed her the transaction on my bank account. Still nothing I was already late, my girlfriend was stuck waiting for me, I was pressed for time and I explained that to the hostess. I had to wait another 15 minutes for the manager to arrive. I rushed out of there, was stressing and rushing so much about being so late that I broke out in a sweat and my blowout was ruined. I arrived at the event feeling stressed, and not feeling my best. I usually leave drybar feeling like a million bucks, ready to take on the world with my rocking blow out. I'm sad to say that I felt like a frizzy mess at the star studded event and wished I would have stayed home. read more

I LOVE DryBar. It's the kind of place where I don't feel guilty spending my money at. Yes, it's $35 (with a suggested $10 tip) but well worth it. At the salon where I get my hair cut, they charge extra just for styling. But at DryBar, they do it all for the same price. Plus, you get complimentary mimosa or champagne, little snack nibbles, a place to charge your iPhone, and cute movies on the flat screen tv! I think this is the kind of salon where you really need to find the right stylist. I went several times with ok experiences until I finally met the right stylist for me. My favorite is the Mai Tai - fun, beachy waves! The Straight Up is also fun when I just feel like a good simple, blow out with a little volume. I know that my stylist will work with me if I want something that's not EXACTLY like what's on the menu and she always listens and delivers. Go see Gabby, you won't be disappointed! read more

After reading mixed reviews, I decided to check it out for myself. Was NOT worth the $40. I have naturally curly hair and my curls did not hold for more than 3 hours. Maybe its the products they use that make the curls slip?! I was disappointed with my blowout- could've done it better myself! I did like the smell of my hair from the product they do use. I also didn't get offered a mimosa or glass of wine like others had posted they did =( Overall I would NOT RECOMMEND this place.... Paul Mitchell the school in Sherman oaks is better at a fraction of the cost! read more

Great results with Josh today at DryBar! He took me on time and gave me exactly what I wanted. Place was packed by 7:30am!! Only comment would be the receptionist who greeted me with "Your Name?" - This is not the DMV; a simple "Good morning" would work well to provide better service....Then I got a "Want anything to drink?" Definitely need sales/clientele training with that girl.....I get that the service is only $40 but I could easily become a regular client. Put a smile on honey child! read more

I love this place, but the wait (even with appointment) can get a bit long. They need more shampoo bowls. But they are always sweet and do a good job! read more

I had my first appointment at Dry Bar in Pacific Palisades yesterday. I had a good experience and I will go back - but, PLEASE lose the signs at every station "suggesting" a $10 gratuity. That lowers the status of the business. It's like those cut rate massage salons that offer a $45 massage, but suggest a $20 tip. Tacky. We're grownups here, and can decide gratuity for ourselves. read more

Still great! Got a beautiful mai-tai from Joshua, so swingy & pretty. I parked a couple of blocks away but no problem. Gives me a chance to swing my hair-lord knows I can't get this look on my own! I liked it even better than my cosmo-tai a few months back, maybe bc my hair is shorter so I feel like the curls look better on me with long hair. I'm kind of trying to work my way through the menu. Love Drybar and will be back for my birthday next month. read more

2 stars for great concept and convenience, but with the money I could get better and longer lasting curls at my hair salon. I like that there is a menu where you can choose what styles you want. The place here was really cute as well. However, my best friend and I were here for a special occasion: I was graduating. Both our hairs did not last by the evening, which was proven by the photos. The curls were limp, and I was greatly disappointed. I wished it would have worked out better, but I guess I can save my $40. read more
