So, I asked my stylist (someone called Felix with a mustache) to add a blow dry and they told me they couldn't because one stylist was out sick. Therefore, i had to go home with my hair wet (in mid December) or was welcome to use their hair dryer to do it myself but they didn't have time. They told me it was my fault i didn't book the blow dry. They told me if i had called to book rather than book online they would have told me that. Bottom line - they offer mediocre overcharged service. A salon that tells the client to dry it yourself with our dryer is pathetic and not first class.

I booked a haircut weeks in advance and came in excited -- I usually love getting my hair done…read more When I arrived, the front desk girl took my coat and said my stylist would be out shortly. She came back a minute later and said she would actually be the one washing my hair and doing a mask until my stylist could come out. That immediately felt odd since it was my first time there and the stylist hadn't seen my hair dry. Every salon I've been to does a quick consult first to see your hair type and talk through the plan. Towards the end of being rinsed, the stylist switched in without introducing herself or even saying hello. Her first words to me were, "What kind of cut are you looking for today?" Even after leaving the wash station, there was still no introduction or real questions about my hair. She was not working with another guest at the time so I'm not sure why she couldn't introduce herself and do a consult beforehand. I was there to cut about five inches off and felt really uncomfortable trusting someone who hadn't seen my hair dry or taken a moment to understand it. I don't need a chatty appointment, but I do expect a stylist to make a new client feel welcomed and assess their hair. She barely spoke the entire time, which made the appointment feel awkward and honestly pretty uncomfortable. Thankfully, the haircut turned out fine, but this was one of the most uncomfortable salon experiences I've had. I'm super bummed because I was really looking forward to the haircut and trying out this salon. I was hoping to leave private feedback but couldn't find a way to do that online.

Each of us was pampered and "prettified" in a friendly atmosphere. Giselle worked on my hair. This was the most painless shampoo I've had in a salon. No pulling. No scratching. Then came the Straight Up blowout which resulted in a sleek, stylish look. Giselle's personality added so much to the experience. Thank you!

I live in Los Angeles but was in town just for the wedding, and I've gotten blowouts at multiple Drybars around the country, so I knew what the service was supposed to entail. Well, I don't know why this shop has received so many bad reviews, because our services were INCREDIBLE. My stylist (Emily) and my mom's stylist (Giselle) both made our hair look absolutely gorgeous. I got the Manhattan and my mom got the Straight Up, and both were executed to perfection. Our stylists were fun and personable, super kind, and very talented. They put us at ease and we had the best time chatting while they did our hair. I have A LOT of hair and it can take over an hour to blow it out and flat iron it. Emily got it done flawlessly in 50 minutes! I also noticed GORGEOUS curls she'd done for the girl before me, so it wasn't just me who got great hair that day. My one note would be to ask how I wanted my hair washed at the shampoo bowl. This was actually the only time I've been to a Drybar where I wasn't asked if I wanted one or two shampoos and if I wanted conditioner on my roots. But since Emily made my hair look so amazing anyway, it's not a big deal -- just something I think should be done before washing. Overall we were both thrilled with our blowouts and the service provided by Emily, Giselle, and the receptionist up front. We couldn't have asked for anything more!

He put so much attention into my hair, specific issues, how it had been colored in the past, and I ended up with what I think is the best color I've ever had! My 20 year old daughter was with me and she agreed. Really beautiful highlights, toner, and treatment for my damaged hair. The cut was equally great. It's always nerve wracking to find a hair stylist in a new city and trust that it's going to work out ok, but Olti absolutely exceeded what I thought I might be able to find. Plus, he is a super chill and kind person to hang out and talk with. Ralphie the Frenchie who hangs in the shop was an added bonus. Definitely recommend making an appointment here. You won't regret it!
