I LOVE every minute of being in Larry's chair. He is attentive and fun and professional and kind and soooo unbelievably talented. I've been doing wild, bright hair colors for years, probably 2 decades now, and he still manages to make my hair look and feel so healthy without compromising the vividness of the color. It washes out gorgeously each and every time, and he does it in a way that my roots don't overpower when they start showing but rather are layered and hidden, making it easy for me to feel great even right up to my next appointment! Booking is smooth and easy, and everyone there is so friendly and fun and great at what they do. :) I always look forward to my appointments there and leave feeling more like my best self! They help me express myself exactly as I like to, and I am so grateful to have found them! As an artist, it's important to me that I look both stylish and professional, and that's not always easy with the bright colors I like, but they've done the "oil slick" look for me since last summer, and it's simply my favorite hair I've ever had! I get at least two compliments on it every time I go out, and I really like the way my husband looks at me like I'm fresh from the salon every day! :) The salon space itself is gorgeous too, super attentive design details and playful pops show the owners' penchant for cuteness embedded in their great taste, with beautiful black chandeliers, a glitter wall and even crystal knobs on the desk! It's a beautiful space, with beautiful people: exactly what you want in a beauty salon! They give you a locker and a nice to robe to wear, and even offer cozy slippers while you get your hair done. Couldn't be happier with my experience at Bal-Lance, they are true pros with huge, kind hearts and the most talent I've ever seen in the Hair Arts! Thank you!!!

They were flexible, thoughtful, and the small perks made it even better. The space is beautiful. The people are warm. The work speaks for itself. I've tried several salons over the years. I think I finally found my go to.

Honestly, she must have magic scissors because even weeks later, my haircut still looks full of life without needing much styling. She has such a talent for making people feel confident and beautiful. I was genuinely emotional after my haircut because I loved it that much. Not only is Annie an amazing hairstylist, but she's also someone who makes you feel comfortable, heard, and connected throughout the appointment. Her energy and vibe are so welcoming.

I have Irish curl, which means the lower growth is curly and the top growth is straight. I have the hardest time finding a stylist who can meld the upper and lower growth into something I can do low maintenance care without blow dryer and styling.

Before the appointment, I got a tons of confirmation emails and reminders asked me to confirm I want to keep my appointment. And they said they can only reschedule to after mid of April because it may take a month to fix the water damage, and the hair stylist will be on vacation. I take today off just for this appointment. I feel really bad because I am so looking forward to this. The worst thing is it was cancelled just 40 minutes before the appointment. If water damage is that bad, you should at least let me know earlier so I can do something else. Now it just wasted my whole morning and ruins my day. There are $135 penalty to me if I cancel my appointment last minute, but they don't have penalty at all if they do so. I had been D&H several times but I won't choose it anymore.

There's so much to look at from the wall of products to the screen on the side playing super helpful tips and product recommendations.

About halfway through I realized I've been coming often enough that the monthly membership would make sense for me. Slightly discounted from the regular price. I've had multiple stylist and all good experiences but some I liked more than others- Phoebe, Gabby, Scar, and Iannkel are my favorites. I show them inspo pics of what I want and they work their magic. I love the products they use in my hair - it always smells so good when I'm done. It's that dry bar signature scent. I will say I've been to other dry bars like in Palo Alto and SoCal that didn't do a great job but I've had great experiences at the LG location.

I'm really disappointed with this location. I had booked two 4:30pm appointments to take my elderly…read moremother-in-law to Drybar for her birthday. Unfortunately, we got stuck in traffic, so I called ahead to see if we could push the appointment back by about 15 minutes. The person I spoke to on the phone was rude and immediately shut it down, repeatedly citing their 15-minute grace period. I explained the situation and still tried my best to make it there within that window. We arrived at 4:44 into the parking lot and ran into the building at 4:46pm, I was parking and helping my elderly mother-in-law out of the car--I wasn't going to rush off and leave her behind just to check in a minute earlier. When we got to the front desk, they refused to accommodate us. The receptionist said she would "go ask the manager," but the time spent doing that could've been used to actually start our services. There was zero flexibility, zero empathy, and no effort to make a birthday visit feel special. We ended up leaving without getting our hair done. For a service-based business, especially one centered around pampering and customer experience, this was incredibly disappointing.
