    The salon is beautiful and if you need a simple haircut they can handle that…read more However, if you want any creative color, such as balayage, they do not have the skills to do so. They did not paint the dye on the hair, instead they used foils exactly like full foil, and the color was uneven - from brassy browns, to orange caramel blondes, to bright whites near my face. They placed the highlights completely randomly. I will not be going back due to my 250$ bill and my stylist's inability to candidly admit she did not know how to do balayage. I felt like I should not have paid for a service that was clearly done incorrectly and wasn't what we had agreed upon. The following day I had to go to a different salon and pay 350$ to fix the work this salon had done.

    When you go into a salon you expect to get your hair done the way you want it. Unfortunately, I…read morewent to a salon and came home crying it was absolutely awful. I had blue, gray, purple and black when all I asked for was some brown and blonde highlights to give my dreaded hair some pop. THANKFULLY, I found Visage in Belle Hall. I called thinking the day before Thanksgiving I'm never going to get in. They brought me right in after several hours later Diane and Victor made a miserable day and hair into something amazing!! I couldn't be more happy with my hair!! During my time while both worked very hard I watched the staff and other Hairstylest work and interact with clients. Just such a wonderful salon!! Picture shows - Left is what I asked of the other salon, Middle is what I received and the right is what Diane and Victor did for me THANK YOU BOTH!! Best salon in Charleston

    I don't normally leave negative reviews, but what happened at Drybar Charleston was so shocking and…read morehumiliating that I feel obligated to warn others. I've been going to Drybar for over 10 years -- starting at the original West Hollywood location. I also travel frequently to Charleston for work and have always trusted this location with my hair. That trust ended during my most recent visit. After my hair was washed, the stylist suddenly stepped away, and three different employees came over to examine my head as if I were some kind of spectacle. I have extensions, and I disclosed that -- as the booking system requires -- but at no point does Drybar's app or policy state that clients with extensions will be refused service or treated differently. They told me my hair was "matted," which I explained I could easily brush out. I even suggested air-drying and curling the ends if needed. Instead of working with me, they walked away, came back, and informed me that they "could no longer do my hair." At this point, my hair was completely wet, and it was very cold outside. To make matters worse, they told me I wasn't even allowed to blow-dry my own hair because it was "unsanitary." I've never heard anything more ridiculous in a salon. No one offered help, empathy, or even basic discretion. I was left embarrassed, singled out, and humiliated in front of the entire room. The next day, I saw another stylist elsewhere who confirmed my hair was not nearly as bad as they claimed. The staff kept blaming "new ownership" and "new policies," yet none of these supposed policies are posted anywhere on the Drybar website or app. If this is truly how they treat customers under new ownership, it's a major red flag. I walked out feeling deeply embarrassed and disrespected. After over a decade of loyalty to Drybar -- in multiple cities -- I will never return to any location again. Charleston Drybar should be ashamed of the way they handled this situation. I'm sharing this so other clients aren't blindsided or humiliated the way I was
