| - In good old fashioned Chicago, I can't say with all the new innovative businesses, that we don't have a single salon dedicated to just blow outs. Disappointing. One of my friends recently wrote about her experience at a Dry Bar in a different state and I was oh-so-envious to not be able to partake in this pampering.
So when the opportunity arose on a short trip to our Second Home, I took advantage of the Dry Bar's Scottsdale location. From reviews, they had opened about 6 months prior and appointments were difficult. With ease, I was able to make (AND CHANGE) my appointment several times online, with confirmation emails to my account. My long thick coarse hair needed some lovin' and I'm on vacation so I'll leave it to the hands of someone else for a change.
A day of beauty and relaxation, I was on a mission. With Starbucks iced latte in hand, I was set to go. But, I will say that unless you are familiar with the area, finding this Dry Bar was particularly difficult. Its located in the Scottsdale Quarter shopping area, and there are spots to park in, or you can park in the garage. Best way to enter is going east on either Butherus or Greenway Hayden.
Upon entering, you check in at the small receptionist area. A stylist meets you, and walks to your station where they discuss what type of hair look you are wanting to achieve. Then she walks you back for a shampoo. I treated myself to a Floater, which is a scalp massage for an extra $10. No way was I skimping on this experience 2000 miles away. Elizabeth said she was fairly new to the salon, but had been doing hair for awhile. Her scalp massage was blissful.
What I expected to be about an hour long experience ended up being longer. I'm sure the factors of me having to stop to make a few short phone calls and my LONG THICK hair came into play. I'm not complaining at all. But because it was a slow day, I don't know how the salon would make up for this on a day when it was fully booked. Sucks for the girl who's directly after me!
Just like my friend noted, I could have done without the ratting to give my thick hair some volume. Blow outs are supposed to give the volume on their own. I would normally thing ratting is reserved for people with thin hair.
I'd definitely go back, and try out a few stylists until I find one with the right fit for my hair texture. The receptionist was helpful with giving me a few names so I could see who would work best for me on a follow up trip.
