    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the worst salon experiences I've had…read more I arrived with an inspiration photo of the hairstyle I wanted. My stylist, Alicia Coleman, barely spoke to me before immediately taking me to wash my hair. I actually had to stop her so I could show her the reference photo. She gave it a quick glance, said, "I got you," and that was the extent of the consultation. As she styled my hair, she kept turning my chair away from the mirror so I couldn't see what she was doing. Every time I tried to look, she turned the chair even farther away. I found it very odd because I wasn't able to see the styling process or offer any feedback. Had I been able to watch, I could have pointed out that it wasn't going in the direction I wanted before she finished. When she finally turned me around for the "big reveal," I was shocked. It looked nothing like my inspiration photo. She had curled all of my hair toward my face instead of away from it, and the style was completely different from what I had requested. I wanted a side part with hair softly covering part of my forehead. When I asked if she could fix it, she told me I had too much breakage to achieve that look. I was already running late and didn't have time to stay, so I left extremely disappointed. When I got home, I had to completely wet my hair, blow-dry it all over again, and curl it myself from scratch. I was able to recreate the look I originally asked for with no problem. Paying $50 for a blowout that I had to completely redo myself was a total waste of money. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

    I have included new pictures to depict continuous hair loss since my previous review, caused by a…read morevisit to this salon.

    I truly cannot believe how consistently bad the service is at this Drybar location. I've given this…read moreplace more chances than it deserves, and after seeing about eight different stylists over time, I can confidently say that the problem is not just one person -- it's everyone. Not a single stylist has been able to give me a good blowout. Every single visit ends the same way: disappointment. My hair never looks right, the blowouts are sloppy, rushed, and nothing like what Drybar is known for. I only continued going because the location is convenient, but convenience does not justify wasting money on a service that is this poorly done. At this point, I'm fully planning on canceling my membership. I also wait every time despite having an appointment. Watching employees sit in the back eating or hanging out while clients wait is beyond frustrating and incredibly unprofessional. The way they handle hair is honestly unacceptable. I've never experienced so much aggressive pulling and yanking during a blowout anywhere else. It's painful. Their shampoo and conditioner also completely knot my hair, which just leads to even more rough handling and discomfort. For the price you pay, this experience is unacceptable. Drybar is supposed to feel like a luxury service, and this location delivers the exact opposite. After eight different stylists and zero good experiences, it's clear this is a management and training issue. I would absolutely not recommend this location to anyone.

    Not pleased - If they would have a mirror so you can see what the stylist is doing, maybe you can…read moreintervene before the bad results... I had to wait to see..... What ever happened to the swinging, shiny blow out. Mine was flat and lifeless! Also, the most hard uncomfortable chair I have ever sat in.

    I had a wonderful experience getting an updo done by Sophia at Blo Blow Dry Bar in Morristown. She…read morewas incredibly gentle, attentive, and took her time to make sure everything was perfect, yet I was still in and out within an hour. Most importantly, my updo stayed completely intact all night through summer heat and hours of heavy dancing and it was totally pain-free with all the pins. At $85, the price for an updo is a bit steep, but compared to other salons in the area, it's actually very competitively priced for the quality. The front desk was super communicative during booking, and I loved being offered a chilled glass of water upon arrival-such a welcoming touch. The woman that offered the beverage was very sweet. A few small notes for future clients and management: tips cannot be added to a card (cash, Venmo, or Zelle only), and I'd love it if confirmation emails included the stylist's name. My appointment started about 10 minutes late, and since no one greeted me right away when I walked in. I wasn't acknowledged for the first five minutes I was there. I was a bit nervous about a delay (though it all worked out fine!). I also personally missed having a cape provided during the service. A friend of mine had a blowout and they pinned it and used the round brush and her hair looked great! She chose not to Leave with the clips in. If she did, it would have been an additional $10. To some this may be worth it and we didn't talk about this logistically but it was an observation I made while thinking about this from an operations standpoint. I just wanted to note this for others. I'll be back!

    I made a Sat 7 am appt for my young daughter who was slated to be a flower girl in a morning…read morewedding. Got her up super early for this appt and when we arrived, the shop was still closed. Phone number went to automatic voicemail. A stylist came in around 7:10 am and checked me in. Told me the stylist doing my daughter's hair should be in any minute. She texts her without response. Then calls the manager to reach out. The in house stylist takes her scheduled appt for 7:15. At 7:30, I ask for an update. Supposedly she left and is on her way. I ask how long out is she? Another 20 minutes! I end up waiting as I did want my daughter to look nice as she's in the bridal party. At 7:50, this stylist STILL isn't here, so the other stylist starts with my daughter. I skip the wash and blow out and do a dry-style/braid as it's now an hour later and we're late for wedding pics! At 8:30 when we left, that stylist never made it in--looked like the manager had come in, but no apology or anything from management. I cancelled my own appointment for later day and scheduled at another salon in town. For the type of competition that's around, esp around the corner, these guys must do better!!! Oh, and yes, I did confirm the appointment personally the afternoon prior.
