| - It's not that I can't do my own hair.....I'd just prefer it if someone else would do it for me.
If you're that kind of girl with 45min to an hour to kill, Drybar is for you. I spent extra on a Floater -- not worth the $10 -- save it to tip your stylist.
Be specific and realistic with the look you want to achieve. As much as I want my hair to look fabulous, it will take industrial strength hairspray to keep much of a curl in my hair. My stylist listened well with a dry hair consult and checked in prior to getting started on the blow dry.
Pros? The majority tools used are TOP-NOTCH. There's nothing better for your hair than Bio-Ionic dryers and brushes. Good job, Drybar.
Cons? The amount of time it took to dry my hair and style it was for-frickin-ever. I've got medium length hair, and even discounting the 10 minute floater, it took an hour from wash to walk-out. Whereas my hair definitely looked styled when it was done, it didn't look polished -- something i treasure every time I walk out of my stylist's chair every six weeks. Also, I don't know that you can specifically request a stylist (at least you can't when using the online booking tool) so YMMV when on return visits.
For the price, I'm sure to make a return visit if I have a special event or am looking for an amazing start to a night out. But the competition for this market is getting stiff (Primp & Blow, Park Ave Blow Dry, etc....) so Drybar, you're going to have to step up your game in Scottsdale if you want to blow away the competition.
