I visited the Drybar at The Phoenician while staying at the resort over Memorial Day weekend and…read morebooked a blowout before my birthday dinner. The location is incredibly convenient since it's right on the resort grounds, making it easy if you're staying at the hotel. They were very busy, which isn't surprising for a holiday weekend, but my stylist still did a nice job with my fine hair. My blowout lasted well throughout the evening, and I was happy with the final result. The only thing that surprised me was that I had mentioned I was getting my hair done for my birthday dinner, but there wasn't any acknowledgment of the occasion. It certainly wasn't expected, but it would have been a thoughtful touch, especially at a luxury resort salon. Overall, it's a good option if you're staying at The Phoenician and want the convenience of an on-property salon. The service and styling were solid, but it didn't leave enough of an impression for me to book a second appointment during the rest of my stay.

It's always comes down to one thing that either breaks or makes a business " Customer Service" when that's gone so do the clients!

I had a disappointing experience at this Drybar location that left me feeling really discouraged…read more I came in for a wash and blowout and requested the "Southern Comfort" style with as much volume as possible -- big, bouncy curls. I also explained to my stylist that I'm currently recovering from major surgery and was only four days post-op, which is why I came in for the service since I'm unable to wash my hair myself right now. My stylist was very sweet, but the service itself felt rough during the wash and blow-dry. When the blowout was finished, I was honestly shocked at how underwhelming the result was. There was barely any curl, very little volume, and my hair was frizzy and poofy rather than smooth and polished. It looked nothing like the style I requested or what I've received at Drybar in the past. Because I was already feeling lightheaded and exhausted from surgery recovery, I didn't have the energy to address it in the salon and decided to just go home. However, I called the salon shortly after leaving to explain the situation. Unfortunately, the conversation with the manager, Bailey, made the experience even worse. She immediately came across as defensive and cold rather than empathetic. She told me she would call me back before the end of the day, but I never received a call. During the conversation she questioned why I hadn't said something while I was still there so another stylist could fix it, which felt dismissive given the circumstances I had already explained. I understand that things don't always go perfectly with services, but the way concerns are handled makes all the difference. The lack of empathy and follow-through left me feeling uncomfortable and disappointed enough that I will not be returning.

When I asked for curls in the pony, I was told it was extra, which was frustrating since I had called beforehand to confirm the service. A few curls were added, but only part of the pony was curled and it wasn't set or sprayed.

Discover a world-class hair stylist hidden in the desert! Gary is the go to expert for those who prioritize style, quality and the safety of high end hair products and tools... While I typically don't make a habit of leaving online reviews, Gary is undoubtedly deserving of praise. Having uniquely textured and dry hair, I've encountered disappointment at some of the supposedly top-notch salons in AZ with their self-proclaimed rock star technicians... In a last minute scramble before heading to the airport, Gary not only accepted my request but also saved the day. His service was impeccable, a true testament to his skill and professionalism, more than just a stylist, he's an artist with real passion for what he does. Impressed with the results, I spontaneously opted for haircut during our session's finale, and I'm ecstatic that I did. The satisfaction was beyond measure, solidifying my decision to make Gary my regular stylist. If you value unparalleled expertise and a touch of artistry, Gary is the man for the job! read more

In a day and age where people are so quick to complain, we believe in credit where credit's due... my husband and I are new clients of Gary's. Only two visits in, and we feel like we hit the jackpot!!! We're so encouraged by his knowledge and skills, along with his willingness to listen to our desires! He cares way more about what his client wants, than about his own ego... what a hard find in a hairdresser! He's an absolute pleasure to deal with, while delivering perfection on every level. We're looking forward to working with him for years to come! read more

He had good reviews so I decided to try it out. I needed to get rid of my blond and get a nice trim and clean up. It came out pretty nice and exactly what I wanted. Thanks Gary. read more
