STOP SCROLLING -- BOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE FIRST…read more If you are a woman of color looking for a QUALITY blowout, save yourself the time, money, and frustration: Go to https://pressedroots.com Or try https://blomedry.com/blo-katy/ Both are worth EVERY dollar. Professional, efficient, and they actually understand our hair. Now let me tell you why I will NEVER return to Blo Blow Dry Bar. I booked here last-minute before flying out for a major golf event with LIV Golf. Normally, I go to Pressed Roots, but they were fully booked--and that's the ONLY reason I ended up here. Before arriving, I called ahead, clearly explained: * I'm a Black woman * My hair is curly and medium-thick * I needed a proper blowout/straight style * Timing matters I was reassured they could handle my hair and had experience with my texture. Red Flag #1: The salon was completely empty when I arrived. Red Flag #2: What they called a "deep conditioner" was a 5-minute mask with zero real treatment. Red Flag #3: I was upsold products that were either misrepresented or ineffective. The stylist rushed the entire process. It became obvious she was trying to finish quickly rather than do the job correctly. By the time she was done: * My roots were NOT straight * My hair was puffy and fluffy, not sleek * It looked worse than when I do it myself at home When I asked her to fix it, she told me: "You asked for a blowout, not a silk press." Let's be clear: A blowout should still result in smooth, properly straightened hair--especially at the roots. She then refused to correct it, saying she "ran out of time"... Even though I called ahead and was assured timing was fine. Now let's talk about the bill: * Advertised special: ~$50 * Charged: ~$150 * Added charges for: * A "mask" I didn't ask for * A fake "anti-humidity serum" * AND tipped herself $25 on my card without permission Yes--tipped herself. The next morning, I returned: * Another stylist AND a customer both agreed my hair was not professionally done * Manager was unavailable * I called repeatedly for TWO WEEKS... no response Final Verdict: If you are a woman of color--DO NOT GO HERE. This was: * Overpriced * Rushed * Misleading * Poor quality * Completely unprofessional What should've been a $50-$75 experience turned into a $150 disaster. Save yourself the stress: Go to Pressed Roots or a salon that actually specializes in textured hair.

My poor interaction at this location started this morning. The person from this location who called…read moreme to confirm the appointment had poor communication and only stated she was calling from this place after I asked for her name. She was trying to confirm my appointments but also stated I booked 2 separate services. My colleague and I are in town for work and booked separate appointments for blowout services for 4:45 PM. We arrived early today at around 4:32 PM to check in. Immediately the stylist who checked us in was rude. Her delivery on informing us we had to wait was less than ideal, she told us we have to "go get some coffee and walk around and wait for our appointment time". Several clients walked in after us and were greeted with warmer reception than we received. We waited until 5:02 until we decided that we no longer wanted the service, as we have a work function to attend this night. When the initial stylist saw we were about to leave she came up to me and told me to "go to the back we're ready for you" (not acknowledging my colleague at all). We proceeded to explain we do not want the service as we have been waiting for over 20 minutes at this point past our appointment time. The stylist then told us that there is a 20 minute grace period for the stylist because of hair length (past the shoulders), extensions, and a flood forcing them to clean the salon in the morning. The entire exchange was combative. The stylist argued that "we actually have been talking for 5 minutes so when you decided to cancel it was within the 20 minute grace period" and that "your grace period stared at the time of your appointment, not before". We never made a statement about when the grace period started, we were simply informing this location we no longer wanted the service. She then said they were very fast and didn't want to charge us $50 for a no-show fee. The stylist kept trying to extend the exchange, sharing that they and the other stylist are fast. This is contradicts what she was saying before, because I have hair past my shoulders (which I put in the comments at the time of booking) and my colleague had extensions (she booked the service with extensions). It was never communicated to us that they were running behind. When my colleague asked for the policy on grace periods, this stylist could not find it. The stylist then proceeded to touch my hair without my permission, trying to show that she could do the service fast. At this point I ended the interaction and informed her "respectfully, we are cancelling and leaving". This was such a poor experience. I'm also adding a screenshot of their cancellation and late policies (taken after we left). We showed up early, checked in on time, and waiting an ample amount of time for our appointment. If we are charged for any services we will be disputing them, as we never received the booked services.

I'm surprised that there are low stars for this location. I really loved my hairstylist Riddhi (not…read moresure if I spelled it right) she was the sweetest and catered to my vision. She guided me through getting an add on for a protectant sealant since my hair has been frizzy when styling and I recently dyed it, offering that glossy look. My hair took like an hour which was expected and she did a wash, blow dry, curl. By the end I was impressed by the results and it lasted all weekend. I purposely went to Drybar to avoid having to style, wash my hair, or use products and it lasted for 4 days! I was Rodeo ready. Thank you to the Drybar team, Rice Village is where it's at.

I'm so desperate for a cut, because my regular hairstylist is booked for months out. Needless to say, when you find a good hairstylist, take their name, schedule your next visit in advance because they fill up fast. However I am very keen on giving people a chance, today I granted David a chance, he had availability that fit my schedule. I came in, promptly greeted, paid my 50% deposit online at the time of booking. Booked service for cut, and style, let him know the specifics of what I wanted. I want long layers, but it doesn't need to be exact, it can be a rough cut, just want my ends trimmed, and thinned out/ texturized. Things were so seamless, that I questioned if he put heat protectant spray before blow drying my hair. Which he did, but it's important for me to ask anyway... A tip; No person on earth can just read your mind, so say what you want, and ask questions along the way and if the vibe isn't right, you know what to do! I'm happy with my results for my cut, and he asked if I was happy with length, and texture/ thickness/ thinness and more. Hair grows folks, so don't be too harsh! Enjoy!

Also, I wasn't aware but apparently you can walk in and just say "just paint my toes", you don't have to pick one of the services from the menu?
