This was my first time ever getting a blowout at Drybar much less at the newly opened A2 location! I didn't know that Drybar has timeslots as early as 7 AM, which is so convenient if you want your hair to look good before work. I work a non-regular business hour schedule, so I booked my appointment at 9:30 AM. I was the only customer there for the majority of my appointment, so I enjoyed the peace and quiet as my stylist washed and massaged my scalp while sipping on my complimentary mimosa. They also have complimentary water, sparkling water, tea, and coffee! I decided to get an Uptini with waves in my hair since that's the opposite of what I normally do to my hair, wear it down and straight. Honestly, I was so indecisive so my stylist was great at helping me pick the style that would last me my entire work week and maybe even my plans for Saturday!
I have curly hair, like a Jew-Fro to the extreme, and while I have owned that and worn it curly for years, ai was really excited to get to try out the whole fancy schmancy blow out experience. I had a blast! It was very swanky, with them offering water, coffee, tea, or a mimosa when I came in, and my requested Earl Grey with honey was ready when I got to my station. I checked out their look book; who knew there were so many options! I opted for the Old Fashion, vintage style. Asha was my stylist and she was so fun and friendly throughout the whole process, checking in with me at every step about what products were or to use or not, and how I felt. At the end, I looked so freaking glam; I almost put on a 40s gown when I got home just to take selfies. What a fun and fabulous experience! Thanks Yelp!
Made me feel really pretty and special! Amazing event! Hope it becomes a annual thing, getting pampered with our roses and blow outs! The staff was great as well! I got the dirty martini although I usually go for cosmo tai , May be looking at a new favorite look :)
I went to Drybar in Birmingham once and I loved it so much that I had to go to this event! Their new location in Ann Arbor is located in a cute shopping center and everything looks so new and nice. Upon arrival I checked in at the front and she offered me a drink, a nice glass of champagne for me to sip on while I got pampered! I was then introduced to my stylist, Erin, and I picked out what hairstyle I wanted. I ended up going with the cosmo-tai. Next we went to get my hair washed and at the end she put it in the perfect bun that was wrapped with a towel. We went back to the station and she went to working on my hair. Usually when I blow dry my own hair it comes out looking like a huge mess, I have very curly, frizzy hair. I am always so amazed how they get it to look so nice. My stylist was absolutely wonderful and did an amazing job on my hair. I didn't have to wash my hair for 3 days after this so I definitely got my use out of it! I can't wait to go back!
Simply amazing!! Amanda (stylist) did a fantastic job washing and blowing out my hair. Her and Sabrina (hostess/front desk) were both super friendly and welcoming. They made sure I had anything and everything to make me comfortable. From the options of water, tea, wine, champagne, mimosas...to the "look book", the experience was flawless. I love the fact that there is a book that you pick a basic style from and then your stylist does it so it works with your hair. From talking about product and hair texture to having my blowout revealed in the big mirror, the whole experience was fabulous. Being that I'm not super creative and am terrible at styling my own hair, this was a super fun opportunity and I felt totally pampered and beautiful when I left. My hair smells amazing and I love the feel so much that I ended up getting some products to try at home. The esthetic of the shop and the way they have music, a chick flick, and videos about their tools and products going is really interesting and cool. The fact that they even offer travel size products and tools is a huge draw as well considering many of us travel frequently and have finicky hair. I love my blowout. Love. It. My hair looks gorgeous and I'm super pumped to go back again and share this blowout experience with my mom, aunties, and girlfriends. I'm hooked. Couldn't recommend them more.
I'm so glad that we got a chance to do this Elite event! I've always wanted to go to a Drybar but didn't think there was one close enough. I love the fact that one opened up in Ann Arbor that's only 8 minutes away from my work! I was really shocked that they did the entire service complimentary and even offered champagne. I ended up doing the old fashioned style and I loved the big curls. It felt nice to be pampered and surprisingly didn't take that long. I like that the products they used made my hair blonder and soft. They also showed me what products they used! I'd like to go back and try some of the other styles they have. I'd consider their membership as well once all of this COVID-19 chaos is over.
Thank you Drybar A2 for this awesome event! During such a crazy time, it was nice to sit back, relax and be pampered!! When checking in I was offered my choice of beverage and I chose rosé! I was quickly placed with a stylist who ironically was also named Lauren! She was super sweet and helped me with picking a style. I got the cosmo-tai style and it came out great! This experience was super relaxing and I was super happy with the end result! I would definitely come back when I need my hair done for a special event, it was such a relaxing place! Thanks again Drybar and Yelp! :)

Thanks Drybar and Annette for such an awesome perk ($45 value!) I've seen many a Drybar locations as it was founded/is based in California (where I'm from), but I've never had a blow out before! After a fantastic visit today, I can see why there's a cult following. Thanks to Erin for making me feel so glam & Sabrina for being so welcoming! The standard blow out itself includes wash & styling. You can also get just dry styling done for about half the cost. I opted for the blow out and the THE COSMO-TAI style, which is between loose curls & beach hair. I like that Erin explained exactly what she was using in my hair: *Charcoal Shampoo (Activated charcoal removes impurities and product buildup without stripping or drying out hair.) *Jump Start (Silky, silicone-free styling serum reduces blowout time and protects hair from heat (up to 450°F/232°C) for a smooth, long-lasting, frizz-free finish.) *Triple Sec (Airy dry finishing spray provides instant texture, volume and body for a tousled, sexy look.) *Money Maker Hair Spray (Shake your money maker! This flexible-hold formula provides soft, movable hold with easy brushability that is never stiff or sticky.) All in all, it took about an hour but I do have really long hair & I'm sure some styles take less time than others. The last time I felt this glam was getting my hair did for my wedding! But, I love how easy Drybar makes it! They also offer a couple of add ons for a few more $ like braiding, scalp massages, etc. I'm definitely going to be back - not just when I have an event but also when I just feel like treating myself! read more
My friend loves Drybar and has gone several times to the Birmingham location, so when given the opportunity to try the closer Ann Arbor location I didn't hesitate. The experience was incredible from the moment I walked in and was greeted by name. The hostess took my coat and offered me a drink. I choose a Mimosa which was mixed just right and kinda made me feel like an elite. My stylist was right on time and she helped me look through their book to find a style. We proceeded to the wash room where she washed and conditioned my hair, which was more like a head massage!! So relaxing. Even the chairs, position of the head/neck and the foot stool were so well thought out. I kept thinking about how much more comfortable my neck was compared to when I visit my hairdresser. Hats off to whomever designed the chairs both in the wash room and stylist area. My hair is pretty thick and curly so it took awhile to blow dry but I enjoyed every minute of it. My stylist added in products and told me what each one was for. After the blow dry, she gently used a straightener. After she finished, my hair looked and felt amazing. I just wanted to keep touching it because it was smooth and soft. Overall, I was very impressed with the service and cleanliness of the Drybar. Thanks to the Drybar and Yelp for the op read more

Woohoo! I'm now hooked on getting my hair done! Drybar was so super generous to offer us blowouts for Elite week. I was a little nervous this event would be cancelled or postponed with everything going on. So glad it wasn't! I checked in and was immediately offered a mimosa. Yes, please! My stylist came to fetch me promptly. She washed my hair with the most amazingly scented line of products. The shampoo and conditioner were heavenly. Once my hair was clean, I selected a Mai Thai blowout just to do something a little different. Normally, I'd get a straight, sleek look but I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone for something different. After making my choice, she got to work. I definitely have a full head of hair. It's thick and course and gnarly. She was able to blow through and tame it with very little remaining frizz. Some frizz? Yes. But what normally takes me two hours to accomplish, she was able to get done in half the time. I was so impressed and walked away feeling like a million bucks just in time to wait in in line for an hour at the store for diapers and milk. Thank you, Yelp Detroit team and Drybar, for such a relaxing experience to pamper myself. My hair looks and feels awesome and it has lasted me several days with some quick hits of dry shampoo! read more
