I have such thick hair that I absolutely hate blowing it dry. About halfway through the process I give up. I heard that a new Drybar had opened in my area. I had a holiday party to attend so I scheduled an appointment to try out their “blowout” service. The cost is $40 and worth every penny to me to get a nice blow out for the party.
I scheduled my appointment using their online booking app the day before my service. I arrived at 9:58 for my 10:00 appointment. The place is beautiful! The music was really loud. However, once you’re in the chair and the dryer is on the music doesn’t seem nearly as loud. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist and offered a beverage.
The menu of services available at drybar
As you can see from the menu above, all blowouts are $40. Of course there are add-ons that you can do, if requested. This is a great deal, especially for me. Every chair in the place was filled. My stylist Addeson called my name at 10:17. All things considered, nearly 20 minutes to wait wasn’t too bad. I was whisked to a chair to discuss what I was wanting to achieve with my blowout. I asked for a basic blowout with the ends curled out a bit. We immediately went to the back of the salon for a wash and condition filled with lots a chatter.
They sell their own line of hair products. I never felt pressured to purchase anything during my visit.
Then my poor stylist went to work. I say “my poor stylist” because I have seriously thick and fairly long hair. I knew she’d be getting a workout from drying my hair. It took about an hour from beginning to end to get my hair perfectly coiffed. I was very impressed with everything about the service I received. My hair looks great and should stay this way for at least a week (the only joy of having such thick hair, in my opinion).

Verdict: I recommend drybar if you ever need to get a blowout. Check their website to see if they have a drybar location in your area.

Ohhh, I going to google and see if a Drybar is near me! I have fine, but I have a LOT of it, so I totally get the not wanting to blow dry your hair thing. I would love to do something like this before events, it sounds great!
I really enjoy the pampering. Yes, look it up and see if you have one. If not, you may have a similar salon. Stacie xo
Love the whole look and feel of their line and salons. Makes the experience that much fancier!
Haha! I agree! It just had a nice positive atmosphere to the place. Happy Holidays! Stacie xo

We just got a Nordstrom here in Vancouver and there’s a Drybar inside. I definitely plan to visit!!
Oh, how nice! Nordstrom and drybar in one stop!!!
Your blow out looked awesome! I’ve never tried Dry Bar but I often hear peoples experience of it and they’re always glowing comments 🙂
It was great for me. I’ve already been back for another blowout there. I’m just so lazy when it comes to styling my thick hair, that this is perfect and convenient for me. Stacie xo

I enjoyed reading about your DryBar experience and seeing hair afterwards! I always leave a tip for the stylist for my thick hair (which is a WORKOUT unless its been recently had a Mizani Relaxer) but that is on my wishlist of places to go get my hair done! 🙂

Haha! I feel the same way. The poor hairdresser gets a serious workout when working on my hair. What is that relaxer? I haven’t heard of it. Stacie xo

Mizani is African hair care brand under Loreal Cosmetics which gears to every one’s curly/wavy hair type to mild to coarse! But lately a lot of Hispanic, Bi-racial, and Thick hair White ladies are using these products because the brand focus on hair needs! I use the Butter Blend Mizani Relaxer for tame the curls/frizz in my hair type plus I use the shampoo/conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and few other products for my hair health and style!

I’m definitely in the thick coarse hair category! I’ll look it up. Thanks!! Stacie xo
your hair looks amazing! Love the lipstick shade on you!
