Drybar is re-opening in Encinitas! At the Encinitas Oktoberfest event, I saw the Drybar booth and…read morereceived a complimentary blowout. I had only ever seen Drybar on social media, so I was excited to go! Drybar is located in Encinitas Village between Athleta and Revive Med Spa with tons of parking. They welcome you in and offer complimentary coffee, water, or champagne/mimosa. Fun! There's also guest wifi. As I was there for a complimentary service, I let my stylist Kristi pick what style she was going to do and she chose the Cosmo-Tai. She did a wash and then styled my hair- it took about 1.5 hours (I have long thick hair) and it turned out beautifully! My hair also smelled amazing. I would definitely consider coming to Drybar for an event- it's $59 for a one time blowout, but if I lived closer/had more events in my life the Membership seems like a good idea- $49 a month for a blowout or $95 a month for two blowouts.

Horrible experience. I have been going to this DryBar over the past few months. I was checking my…read morecredit card bill realized they have been charging me twice on the same day! Called & left a message, didn't get a call back. Went there today in person to get a blowout & also talk to them about this. The lady at the front desk was super rude, after I brought this to her attention, rather than apologizing & attempting to refund me, she even said that she will not book me again! Not a big loss for me, they did an OK job not great, it was just a convenant location!! Well treat your customers like this & you will close your doors soon!!!

Jamie Lee is a literal miracle worker. When I tell you I came in there defeated over a failed…read moreattempt at beginning to get me back to blonde I was ready for anything. Once I explained I was ready to be rid of the red and go back to my blonde roots and she explained it would be a slow process with results each time that would definitely leave me lighter each time I was on board. Even more so over the fact that she refused to do anything bleach related to my hair without testing a small piece first to see how it would react/lift before moving forward. After every session I left feeling lighter physically and spiritually, she is a true artist. I couldn't be happier with the results and the care she takes every appointment. I simply cannot recommend her enough. The salon is also a clean, relaxing environment with kind women at every station and positivity all around.

I let it air dry, and then go along with my day. Lesley always knows how to cut my hair just right so that my hair looks like it is styled even though I don't do anything to it. Her attention to detail, and passion for what she does really shows in her work. One of my good friends came with me to get my hair cut, and ended up getting a foilage (not sure if I spelled that correctly). It looked so natural, she looked like a sun kissed goddess. I would definitely recommend making an appointment with Lesley Simon. She is the best!

Emily is overconfident in her ability to do color and lacks the maturity to take criticism about…read moreclients hair. I went to Emily in May 2022 for bayalage highlights and a haircut. I have naturally curly hair and she was confident she could place the highlights to look great with my curls. After the color and cut she dried my hair straight and I told her the color looked good straight, but I would not be able to tell how I liked it until I styled my hair curly. I tipped over 20%, bought the products she suggested and scheduled my next appointment with her before I left that day. After styling my hair curly at home I realized it did not look good curly. The color placement looked like thin pieces of straw in my curls. It was not chunky bayalage highlights I asked for. I went back to see her a few weeks to show her how my hair looked curly so she could fix it at our next appointment. She was extremely rude and told me I disrespected her by coming to her salon to express my dislike for my hair. She then sent me a lengthy text and said I should find another hair stylist. I thought a long time before posting this because I understand how a poor yelp review affects a small business, but her behavior and inability to hear her customers feedback truly deserves one star.
