Had a wonderful experience at Drybar with my fourteen-year-old daughter. They did a beautiful job on a Cosmo blowout for her. She has coily hair and not everyone handles it well, but our stylist was thorough and the finished product was beautiful. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! Worst blowout I've ever received. Barely put hairspray, DIDNT even brush out my curls and then they wanted $65 plus a tip. This was also my birthday blowout I could've not wasted my time and did better at home with my Revlon blow out brush. Waste of my time waste of my money. Fell out flat within the first 20 minutes of leaving because she used NO PRODUCT. read more

The worst Drybar experience, not to mention ruin human experience I've had in awhile. The manager is a mean mean jellybean. If you arrive 5 minutes late she'll try to cancel your appointment. My daughters 13th birthday we drive all the way out from Malibu, 2 weeks after the disaster our wildfires, only to be shamed and discriminated against. Turned us away w/ no merit and couldn't supply her zero grave time policy. I give this location till the end of the year to completely close. No way they survive w this kind of attitude and rigidity. Spend your money on a small business w/ a heart who values human respect and decency. read more

Soooo so good. Friendly customer service. I normally come in for a blow out. I come out satisfied every time but this time I went in for a wedding and Helen Sarkezian took care of me!! Amazing stylist and treated me so attentively. Love you!!! read more

Never stepping foot in a Drybar again. This place has gone completely downhill since being sold. Customer service is non existent. Prices have skyrocketed and they run late all the time with no accommodations. But if you were running late or didn't show, you'd be charged. read more

I paid for a time-sensitive hair service for a same-day event. The service took longer than the scheduled appointment allowed and required correction that could not be completed within my allotted time. I was required to pay at checkout and told the issue could be resolved afterward. I followed up multiple times in writing, including proposing a reasonable credit, but the shop stopped responding. I've been coming to this location for over a year with a Barfly membership, and this was the first time I've ever had an issue. Unfortunately, when I needed them to come through, they didn't. read more

I had never been to a drybar before but I have seen one out here on island that looks so pretty and inviting. This location, was not that. No one says anything once you walk into the place, but at least the receptionist was nice. We had an appointment but still had to wait about 5 minutes. There is no water or tea offered, or bathroom use offered either. I booked an appointment for my sister and I with the scalp massage. The wash was nice as well as the massage, and then we were seated to pick a style from a booklet. At the end I just looked like a soccer mom, which is totally fine but not really the look I wanted lol. The stylist were nice as well, no conversations amongst anyone really besides an occasional "does this look okay." My look was pretty much already finished by the time I knew it was an okay look. Asked for volume, got none. I think I would book again, but not at this location. It just wasn't anything special, unique or done incredibly well. read more

Drybar - West 3rd - First time here, let's see how it goes! - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Went yesterday for an appointment with 2 others. Our appointment was at 11. For all three of us. When we arrived they only took one of us because there were no other stylists. I waited a half hour for another stylist to arrive. We eventually left one of the people we came with because it was taking her so long and that we had to go. The point of getting an appointment for 11 was to all of us get done at the same time and leave at the same time. When we were done the Person at the front desk was on break so we had to wait AGAIN to pay. Not only this, one of us went home and washed hair hair because it was so bad. I requested repeatedly for my hair to be blown out outwards and she kept doing it in the opposite direction. Dry bar has really gone downhill. Will never return to this place! read more

This is by far the worst location- I would completely advise against wasting your time. In general the quality of customer service with drybar shops has decreased tremendously. You can not expect your appointment to be honored if you are just five minutes late, but you SHOULD expect to be waiting 10+ minutes everytime you arrive promptly. It's a joke at this point and I'm surprised this one is even open still. If you have all the time in the world for an advertised in and out in an hour place go for it, otherwise dong waste your time for generic styling. read more

Been coming to this location for years and I'm very selective about who I request. Helen is the best if you want volume and curls!!! She is super sweet and fast! I come here if I have an event or trip and my hair last for days!!! I also come if I have an important meeting for work and she can do a more professional look too. If I can afford it, I never have to wash my own hair again! lol! read more

I set up a dry styling appointment for me and my two daughters. It's just like it sounds, no wash and blow out. The hair came out great on all three of us. One of my daughters and myself have a hard time retaining curls in our hair for very long, but this lasted the rest of the day and into the night. Our hair felt soft and not crunchy despite the product that was needed to hold the curl. I really want to also highlight the work of the gentleman that worked on me. My hair is very processed which has made the shaft thin. Heat could damage my hair very quickly. He recognized it immediately, told me what style would work best for the hair type given that, and made it did it. Overall, 10/10 would recommend read more

Drybar - West 3rd - Great place to get hair done for charity even this afternoon, #ChrysalisButterflyBall, thanks to Naoimi! - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Wow. I used to come here all the time !! First they were behind on doing my hair then the manager nova who was rude and stopped my blow dry because she thought I didn't have an appointment and I did . Then said they couldn't do my hair because it was wet - I'm like well it's a blow dry place and just dry no style is fine and was adamant on the time of 30 min . No one was at the desk when I got there and they were behind so there was time ! I will never come again - my boss is a celebrity so I will make sure to spread the word !!! Worst experience and so rude - I was a member for years and I'm so glad I am not anymore - horrible place - I'd go to the one on sunset not here - treat people better !!!! read more

Drybar - West 3rd - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had my first blowout at Drybar and it was such a great experience! My stylist was right on time, super communicative throughout the whole process, and really made sure I got exactly the look I wanted. The space itself is clean and welcoming, and the end result was perfect--sleek, polished, and lasted all day. Definitely coming back! read more

Not a good experience. I asked for a bouncy blowout and was really disappointed. It took a long time, I kept feeling strands of my hair being ripped out. Instead of a blow out like I had asked, the girl spent 45 minutes curling my hair and spraying a shit ton of product in it. I saw other people getting velcro rollers and a proper blowout. At one point, about an hour in, someone else had to come take over and fix what she did and re curl my hair (which I didn't even want done in the first place). My hair is totally fried. To the point my friends said it smelled burned when they hugged me. This morning it is still totally fried and smells horrible. Really annoyed I paid all that money for someone to rip out my hair and burn it with a curling iron for an hour and a half. read more

This Drybar has gone from bad to "will never come back again". Delayed appointments are one issue but at this point, there is only complete incompetence. The woman at the front desk is a complete horror. I wanted to renew my membership and this too is beyond her capabilities. She is rude and useless so one wonders why she is even there (just sitting around twiddling her thumbs). Why not have another stylist available instead of the useless woman..... read more

Helen did such an amazing job! I requested an up-tini and showed her inspo from Pinterest and she made sure she copied it exactly! I did my hair for my cousin's wedding and it stayed the whole entire night and everyone was asking where I got my hair from. loved it and definitely recommend Helen! read more

That was such a horrific experience. Before explaining, I want to point out that my hair was brushed out & that I came in with two loose braids to hold my hair together since it's long. I wanted to keep it separated and clean before getting to drybar. These were not insane braids just two very simple loose braids. This has never been an issue with this at any of the other drybar locations I have been to. Also, my hair length is at mid back, it's semi wavy. The first woman that greeted me was extremely kind & even complimented the loose braids. I wish she did my hair. Eventually the stylist arrived, didn't introduce himself or anything just walked to the back & told me to sit at which wash station. He already seemed to have an attitude. I asked for his name & it was Norlan. While I took out my loose braids, I told him in the beginning that it does get tangled very easily in the washing process. I reminded that I requested the add on to help with this & that usually it's best to comb it out while the product is in. He did not listen to my advice and continue to scrub my hair in the most aggressive manner, crossing sections together. This resulted in my hair being a tangled mess. He even said at the sink that it's a lot & he'll have to comb it out at the chair. At the drying station, he realized how bad of a mess this became and decided to blow dry it while it was still tangled. This was extremely painful and this is not something you do to long hair in general since it causes breakage. No leave in conditioner or anything, he would brush from top/mid & yank down. I asked him if I could have a brush to help with detangling and he said no that he had to do it himself. Later on it became obvious to other people that it was not a good time for me and they asked another stylist to come help detangle my hair. She detangled for a little bit and then gave me a brush to continue detangling on my own, which I thanked her for because this is what I wanted to do from the beginning since it was a lot of work from this state that he caused. After it was all detangled, it was easy to go through. He had me hold some parts & I could tell he was annoyed. The blow dryer burned my scalp a few times at this point but I just wanted out. He was very quick at the end, didn't use any finishing products, & left to the back instantly. I went to check out at the front desk. While paying, I thanked, Sam, the woman at the desk for sending help and Sam cut me off saying she wanted to talk about this also she's gonna have the manager call me because I cannot come in with tangled hair since they do not offer a detangling service.... I was extremely offended because I came in with brushed out hair, no tangles, in two loose braids on the side. The way Norlan scrubbed my hair in the sink caused all the tangled mess. Sam was insinuating that I still came in with extremely tangled hair and that this was all my fault. This was not the case at all. Her solutions were for me to brush out my hair at home or to wash my hair at home that way they just have to focus on the blow dry- which again my hair was already brushed out prior. I still tried to explain my side again that my hair was not tangled, how he scrubbed my hair caused this, & he refused to give me a brush to help at first. Sam was extremely condescending & had such an attitude. They can go check the security footage, they can see my hair was neat & how the whole situation unfolded. I swear it's like some stylists hate long hair & have no idea how to work with it. Sadly, I had this done since I had a work event in the evening otherwise I would have left- honestly I should have since this stressed me out. After reading some of these reviews clearly there is a problem at this location & ESPECIALLY with Sam. So many have mentioned her horrible attitude. read more

If you have the opportunity to have your hair done by Gaston, you are very, very lucky. He is kind, professional, detail oriented, and worked wonders on my hair. Thank you, Gaston, for the great experience. read more

I've been going to Drybar W3rd for years and it's truly the best! The blowouts are incredible and last so much longer than any others I've had. Nova, Val, and Angela are absolute star. They are all are only amazing at what they do, but also just wonderful humans who make every visit enjoyable. Could not recommend this place more! read more

This business is the MOST UNPROFESSIONAL HORRIBLY RUN place that I have ever encountered in my life. I GIVE IT ZERO STARS. I made an appointment for a blow out on Sunday at 8:30am for the Emmy's. They call me at 7:30 am on the morning of the Emmy's and tell me no one can blow out my hair and that non one is coming into the salon and they only have an appointment in the evening. I say I am going to the Emmy's and that won't work. The man had an snotty attitude with me on the phone when it was their fault. Saying he did everything he could. When I state how ridiculous this is given that they have multiple styilists and that most people go there for events and this is LA, how can they not have a stialist on a day like today, he defends himself and says sorry no one can do my hair because they have no one coming in. I asked if. they can schedule me at another salon and they said they are all separate locations and they have no access to other drybars and they can't do that and that they did everything they could do. Supposebly one person has covid was their excuse, not the whole salon but for some reason they as a business thought it was better to be snotty to me on the phone and said well I offered you and everything I could. I said that isnt everything. They did not apologize they kept defending themselves and stating that they did everything. They said they asked others if they could do my hair and they said no. That supposbly was all this person could do. I woke up at 7 am for this. Then they cancel my appointment with a note that I had a conflict with drybar. Thank you so much for canceling (rather than standing us up!). We truly appreciate it. Thsi was their cancellation message to me. They are thanking me that I cancelled when THEY cancelled on me last minute at 7:30 am when my appointment was at 8 am on the day of the Emmys. .That is what the note states on my cancellation that they just did. This is so bizarre. Hoe are these people working and empolyed? I haven't gone to dry bar in years and never had a conflict, never had this experience. I have not gone to this location in 6 years.. If you want an UNPROFESSIONAL AND FLAKY place to go to go here. Andrea Grant 3 reviews read more

I've been coming to this Drybar on 3rd since they opened. Their first manager, Jud, was a gift. Founder Alli Webb is a friend. And they have GREAT stylists. But all of the good has gone by the wayside because of poor management and new ownership. It's shocking, actually. For a business that was thriving...and sunny..,and positive...and just a glowing experience, overall, to end up like this. With them blaming poor service on "busyness" on a Friday afternoon - when they (quite sadly) have two stylists here with two clients. (See the sad photo below) And the one receptionist who is the only one to bring sunshine into the dark-feeling yellow-branded space - Annie - to be leaving soon. What a loss for them...and us! She's a joy! Unlike the princess-of-darkness receptionist-Sam, whom I literally had to school a few months ago because she was so negative - so RUDE (that she wouldn't even respond to a question I asked) that I asked her higher-up manager to call me. And she did. Nothing happened. And, meanwhile, 3 WONDERFUL receptionists have resigned due to the negative energy of Sam and their management. She's still there, spreading her negativity and losing customers by the minute because management says they "can't discuss what happens within the company, but they're 'handling'." Perhaps they gave her a raise? Sadly, I see a place I used to love heading down the toilet and not even with a positive legacy to leave in its wake. Management and a bad receptionist has sealed its fate. Will I continue to come? Oh, on occasion...because of proximity to our home...and the stylists...and the memories of when it was in its hey-day. But the good times... Are... GONE. And there are better salons who deserve your business. And mine. Go find them. But I do want to say... Alli... You created a beautiful, pro-woman, positive space. I'm sorry this new ownership ruined it. But your light shines on. read more

Drybar - West 3rd - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The worst customer service EVER! We arrived as a group of 3, when we arrived I tried to confirm that we would all sit together. The woman yelled at me that she couldn't guarantee but knew we wanted to sit together (so what's the point of a group appointment). And multiple times said she knew we wanted to sit together, and stared at us rudely. They didn't get to me until 35 min after my appointment time. No apology. My sister's hair is completely curl-less two hours after our appointment. read more

I walked in last week to make an appt today for a blow out. I checked in for my appointment and they asked me to sit and wait and said someone would be right with me. After waiting more then 10 min I went and asked how long until they were ready for me and she said another 15 to 20 min. So that would mean I would have been waiting 30 min for my appointment. I understand waiting a few min, but the reason you make an appointment is so you don't have to wait. Today is my birthday and I wanted to get my hair blown out for my dinner tonight. They weren't overly kind or apologetic, and I walked out without having my hair blown out. I will never go back. Not a good experience. read more

This place sucks. Never coming back again. My appointment was at 5pm and I didn't get seated until 5:17pm. I didn't mind waiting or anything but it's just the fact that they could've called and said the hair stylist is running late so come in at 5:15. These people will cancel your appointment if you're 1 minute late but I waited 17 min and not even an apology. Anyways, she starts blowdrying my hair and she was literally pulling my hair out of my scalp. Like so aggressive for no reason I was fighting to keep my head straight because she was pulling so hard. I asked her to not pull so hard and she got really offended like girl you don't know how to do hair. This place needs to shut down like ASAP. read more

Called for an apptmt and spoke with Annie. She answered the phone with friendliness, warmth and professionalism. Been to quite a few DryBars and not always my experience. Came here for a wash and braid while staying in the area for a week from Newport. May sound simple yet my hair is quite thick and 36" long (no extensions) so challenging to wash. Angela did a great job thoroughly washing and conditioning it. She did a thorough comb out with gentleness and minimum tangles. Trust me not an easy job. She was personable and efficient. My braids were done extremely well and very stylish by Patty. Will be back when in the area again. Thank you for the great friendly and efficient experience! read more

My blowout itself was really great. The stylist was thorough at tending to my naturally curly hair. However I was charged 3x for the service at the front desk when checking out. I called to resolve this issue, and the woman at the front desk told me she would have the store manager call me asap to help refund the error. The manager never called and after 2 days of trying to contact the store they refuse to answer my calls. Unfortunate experience considering I would go back to have my hair styled, but it's not worth the administrative burden I've dealt with regarding being overcharged read more

The service here is awful! I arrived on time and the lady at reception said take a seat someone will be with you shortly. Not only was the woman sitting next to me going before me with the exact same hairdresser...I then had to wait another 30 minutes before I asked what was going on? I was informed that they were running behind and that my hairdresser had only just taken the client who was before me!!! She then asked me to come back in an hour and I told her "no I can't, I have appointments all day" Anyway, I will not be returning to this salon ever again......not what I signed up for!!!!! read more

First, thank you for taking me in after being 15 min late. I under estimated Friday LA traffic. I was a first time customer. I paid for a blowout and scalp massage. I was paired with Brian. Very sweet guy, good energy, and I can tell he tried his very best. However, from the minute I got the scalp massage I could tell my experience would be not so great. It really was not worth the $15 fee. Ok let's move on. He combed my hair with a brush he got from a drawer. After he brushed it I noticed all the dried hair on it and questioned if it was mine. He said not and removed the hair from the used brush. After that I was literally thinking of walking out but I told my anxiety to take a back seat. Well I wasn't wrong. From the hair drying to styling it was all a big fail. Getting hit in the face twice with the extension cord which I'm positive was not intentional but more of lack of experience. Then the final spray getting inside my eye, which just put the cherry on top. I was asked "how was your experience" I didn't answer because I didn't want to lie. I have thick, coarse, and rebellious hair. I think his lack of training. I can tell my his technique that he lacked experience. He tried his best, unfortunately it tainted my experience and ever wanting to visit a "Dry Bar". Post Edit- I have to say this is not Brian's fault in its entirety. There has to be better training, better cleanliness expectations, and really valuing customers hard earned money. I tipped him for trying. However, after trying my best to enjoy it, it was really hard because each bad experience was amplified. I hope the manager or corporation does a better job in training. read more

This business is really lost touch with reality .. they are unprofessional and rude terrible customer service: The minute you walk in instead of greeting their customers they give you an ultimatum she is telling me if you are going to be one minute late as of new policy next time we won't take you !!! How rude and out of touch people they hire to greet customers in this fashion?? You now what : RIP Amazing real hear dresser , not fake like the ones they train on the job , are Minutes away!! Done with these expensive hair rookies! we are going to stop going to this business all together.. really going bad and every time we try to see maybe that was an isolated accident we realized this is just a bad desperate business.. done with giving you guys another chance .. Dry bar is dry ...now they are trying to remove the post !! RIP read more

Parking in this area is the worst, so make sure to plan extra time to find a spot. I booked a dry style for the SAG awards and was in and out in 15 minutes with amazing curls! When I checked for appointment times there were no times available for a full style, so make sure to check for dry style times if that is an option for you. Since I was getting curls done, it made sense to have hair that was a day dirty anyways (and save a few dollars). read more

Know what you're getting into before you book an appointment with them. Zero stars for service, 5 stars for quality. It's a toss-up. I first went to the Beverly Hills location. I was 12 minutes late to my appointment due to lack of parking. I tried calling beforehand to let them know I was running late, but no one picked up the phone (they hardly ever do). My appointment was cancelled AND I was charged a cancellation fee, though it was not my choice to cancel. The 3rd street location has almost the opposite problem-they'll take you, no matter how late they're running. I've had appointments that ran 35 and 45 minutes late, with no prior notice, no call, no nothing, and with little remorse from the staff. Everyone working there seems to have a bad attitude. BUT I gotta give it up to Norlan, who, despite his passive aggressive commentary, has delivered an amazing and timely result the two times I've gotten my hair done with him. You can't beat the quality for the price, but make sure you have a buffer of at least 30-60 minutes before scheduling with them! read more

This is the worst location to go to. You'll make an appointment and still wait over an hour. It's chaotic in there because everyone is so stressed, inpatient and the workers are clearly over booked and stressed themselves. I made an appointment at 10 am and didn't get seen until 11:15... read more

This was my first experience at this location and I had the best time! Everyone was very kind and helped me right away. Mayra was able to perfect my hair for Coachella, even though I asked for braids last minute. She did such a great job and was attentive to my requests :) she was super quick but also thorough and careful with my hair. Will definitely come back to this location! :) read more

Not the best experience. My first time at a Dry Bar for an event. We had a group of 3 and yes we were 10 mins late (due to the road closures) but they got us in. I already had fresh hair, no shampoo needed, but they wouldn't let the lady do a side up do. So, she just curled my hair. Too tight curls. She didn't listen. I will have to fix at the hotel. I wasn't offered a beverage until I looked at my friend who already had one. Very disappointed especially when it's my first time in a Dry Bar in CA. Plus the others in my group are still getting there hair done while I've already checked out. So if time was a concern why are they still getting their hair done? Very disappointed. The manager is young and clearly doesn't understand customer service. Try another place. Don't come here. read more

Really disappointing experience today at DryBar on 3rd. The front desk girl (long black hair, eyelash extensions) is one of the most rude, unprofessional customer service staff I've ever come across. She yelled at me when I asked her a question. Barely greeted me, and her communication skills were just awful. I couldn't believe it and I will likely not return to this store again. read more

Reading through some of these reviews, I question if I went to the same place, because I had the BEST experience. I was able to book an appointment the same day, was seen right away (even though I was a few minutes late), and the superior customer service from the moment I opened the door was everything I needed. I was hesitant to use the services because I did not think this franchise could offer anything for my hair type. Once I saw the diversity amongst the stylists, the stress started melting away. Talking to my stylist about my nerves and hair journey, melted even more stress away. She heard me, she affirmed me and she loved on every single strand of my hair. I'm mad at myself for not remembering her name, but she was the shift lead last Saturday the 3rd. Knowing how hot it was outside, and how many days were in between my filming, she ensured my hair stayed in place and was protected. Here we are four days later, and I still look like I just left the salon. I'm seriously considering getting the monthly membership. This was a pleasant, and needed surprise - because it is hard to trust anyone with my hair! And DryBar, won me over. Thank you, thank YOU, THANK YOU! read more

Horrible place! Please don't waste your time and go elsewhere! Had an appointment for dry styling and the lady kept insisting that my hair is still wet when it was not trying to convince me to pay for a full blow dry. When I refused she cancelled the appointment and was super rude and dismissive. Got a great dry styling right next door with much better customer service. read more
