Drybar - Culver City

PROS: Okay, this place was so fun. Three of us got our hair washed & styled in the morning for a wedding that afternoon. Each of us had a wonderful stylist who was welcoming, funny, kind, and talented. We laughed and really enjoyed our time there and the results of our hair. Here's the rub: the reason I gave one star is because our hair did NOT last. So that actual 'product' that we purchased was basically non-existent within an hour . Two of us got a 'softer' blowout with more wavy curls that looked amazing in salon and then disappeared in the car ride back to the hotel. We expected it to last longer (we did our hair at 11am, and the wedding was at 4pm). I got a side braid added to mine, and I'm glad I did because otherwise, it would have looked like my totally normal straight hair by the time the wedding came. The one gal that got her style REALLY curly lasted  a few hours longer before falling. Still, great location & staff & atmosphere ... just really disappointing that it didn't deliver what we wanted in the end.

I've been frequenting various Drybars for over 10 years now and always regret coming to this location.  Appointments always start very late, and hair always turns out subpar.  The receptionist here is also incredibly unprofessional and rude.   I wish Drybar management would intervene here.

Unfortunately their hair dryer completely burned my hair. I can tell the difference when I go to drybar than when I go somewhere else with a Dyson or similar hairdryer.

As someone who is a member of the Drybar and has been to several locations, this location is definitely subpar. When I arrived, I was treated rudely and I was advised they don’t offer a service that I was booked for and when I questioned it, the stylus told me I just work if I get paid by the hour I don’t do that kind of stuff. She spent the next 40 minutes pulling and tugging my hair. It was a very painful experience and that I didn’t even receive the hairstyle I requested. I definitely do not recommend this location.

We called wanting to get our girlfriends hair blown out. We explained she’s going through radiation so she doesn’t have a full head of hair. This woman, Kristin’s response was “we don’t treat people like that.” I was honestly astonished and am not sure more needs to be said in this review. It was revolting.

Drybar - Encino

I had the worst experience today. I had previously had a bad experience at this location but I decided to go here instead of the Topanga location due to the topanga location being booked. I had an appointment but I was declined services due to my hair being slightly wet which they stated they did not have time to work with . I would have been fine with being declined services but what I didn’t appreciate was the rude receptionist and the attitude she gave me during this interaction. There was no apology for having to decline services. Fortunately I was able to go to ULTA for a blowdry so I will no longer return to any Drybar location.

If I could give this Drybar 0star I would definitely do so!! The worst front desk and customer service ever!!!! Never waste your time here! I had an appointment at 9am went there and I was late 5 minutes!!! She was so rude take even 5 minutes to come and check me in herself and told me cause you’re late your appointment is cancelled then she said wait for 15 min someone will help you and in front of my eyes went to one of the hairstylists whisperer in front of me and start laughing!!!! And said she can’t help you! Go to another location offer me another location that was 20 miles !!!!away!!!!! Long story short! Make me feel so ignored and she definitely showed doesn’t know anything about customer service and doesn’t deserve to even say hi to customers!!!! Even as a human!!! She was soooo impolite and can easily make you hate this place forever!!!!!!! Dont waste your time here!!! Never ever

BADDDD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Made an appointment came 20 minutes before my appointment then waited another 25 minutes receptionist doesn’t even tell me hey im sorry are running behind schedule she just there sitting looking at her nails customer service sucks do your job keep client happy what’s the point of making appointments i get it something it can get busy but wow communicate with the customer. Im not happy with the service.

I usually love this Drybar location... but it has definitely changed recently.  Front desk was pretty rude,  but also they took my daughter very late and were not apologetic about it all.  I'll be heading back to Topanga location after this!

Worst front desk. Rude, and acted superior. Also why have a walk in sign out front if you don’t have time for a walk in?? Do yourself a favor and skip this location, go over the studio city Drybar. Better ambiance and much better customer service.

Shear Madness

Annette is brilliant when shaping hair and a master at highlights, especially for ash blonde or light brown natural hair.  I'd give her more stars if I could.  I highly recommend Annette and Shear Maddness!

Will not be returning here, the ambience is just not very friendly and the other clients are rude and pretentious.

Love this place, a bit off the beaten path, but they truly know how to make a client look good the friendly conversation always makes everyone feel like family.

I have been going to this place for years Annette does a fantastic job on haircuts.

The Parlour

I've been a loyal customer of The Parlor for years, and my recent haircut experience was just as outstanding as ever. Lindsey and her skilled team continue to create a welcoming and stylish atmosphere, and her expertise in hair cutting remains top-notch. The staff's friendliness and exceptional service have consistently made this my go-to place for superb haircuts and salon services. Whether it's your first visit or you've been a regular like me for years, The Parlor is the perfect choice to experience passion for their work shining through in the results.

Hands down the best haircut I've ever gotten. I went in with 2 requirements for Lindsay
1.. I need to be able to put it in a ponytail for yoga and
2. I want it a lot shorter.
The rest I left up to Lindsay and she totally nailed it.
She even did the whole cut with a straight razor to keep the edges softer and I'm head over heels in love with my new do!

Francesca is awesome. I just had my third appointment with her and have been happy every time. She really takes the time to get to know you and figure out what exactly you like. She can also improvise if you aren't sure what you want like myself. Highly recommend her to any guy in the Baltimore area.

WARNING, DO NOT GET HAIR EXTENSIONS HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOOSE YOUR HAIR!!! I had posted a positive review for this place when I first got my extensions in, but after I went back to get them removed and replaced (moved up), I experienced the WORST NIGHTMARE with my hair.

First off, I saw Lindsay when I was considering hair extensions, I went to her to get a consult and see if it's gonna be a good fit. She convinced me that it was, and seemed like she knew what she was doing. She worked out a deal for me that included the extensions, install, remove, wash and re-tape. Which was ALL PREPAID. I was happy with the initial install, but when I went to get them moved up, she tried to charge me another $900!!!! If I didn't have her text message to prove the original pricing that we had agreed on, she was ready to rip me off!!

Second, the way she removed them and got them installed, she did it completely WRONG. 2 weeks after the reinstall, the extensions were breaking off the glue and coming out of my head in pieces, leaving GLUE IN MY HAIR!!!! It was a disaster.  And she tried to blame it on my maintenance, and said a product, which she sold to me at the initial install of the hair was causing the extensions to break off as opposed to her totally ignorant way of reinstalling the extensions. I paid $900 for hair that I was supposed to reuse at least 3 times and she completely ruined it!! It was perfectly great before she removed it and retapped it.

Since then, I tried to make sure that I didn't do anything wrong so I wouldn't be unfair to her. So I visited 4 different certified hotheads extensions technicians, told them all the details, and showed them every product I have used on the extensions, and they all told me that no product could have ever caused this issue. And the only reason why they would come off this way is if the install was done incorrectly!!!

I LOST SO MUCH OF MY HAIR JUST TO GET THE GLUE OUT!! My hair has been damaged to the point that will need at least a year to grow back out. I WAS CRYING EVERY TIME I LOOKED AT MY HAIR. IT IS ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING. And in return, I get EXTREMELY RUDE response when I ask for a refund. She was completely unwilling to issue any sort of refund for these damages. And since she is the business owner, there's no one else that can help me get my money back.

Luckily, I work at a law firm and I will be able to take her to court to fix this damage. I have attached some pictures of the extensions for you to see what this NIGHTMARE looks like. Sorry for making this long, I just feel like if you're considering this place you should know this information.

I am very pleased with Emily's expertise, and I always leave feeling happy! She takes such good care of me and really listens to what I like. I also respect her opinion of what looks good on me!

Drybar - Brentwood

I have to leave a bad review but oh boy this place has gone downhill.

I booked an appointment about a month and a half ago for a blowout for my company’s year end black tie holiday party.  I was a little indecisive a few days before about how I wanted to do my hair and thought about changing it to an updo.  I decided to go with a half up, half down look but didn’t think to change it to a updo in my booking.  What I wanted was so simple that I honestly could have done it myself but did not want to cancel and wanted to feel somewhat pampered for this event.  When I got there, there was no one there except for the girl at the front desk (the one star is for her because she was very nice).  My “stylist” comes out about 5 minutes later looking incredibly frazzled and as if she is possibly either incredibly nervous or on drugs.  Her behavior was so bizarre I can’t even begin to describe it.  I told her what I wanted and she kept saying I was booked for a blowout and she didn’t have time to do what I wanted.  It was 4 pm so it was still early in the day but on a Friday it should have been a lot busier but she said she had to take her break right after I left because someone called out.  Fine, I get it, I worked in places before where we’ve been short staffed and I know it’s stressful.  I told her I didn’t have a lot of hair and it would be easy.  She said I can do it but we wouldn’t be able to wash your hair.  I told her I haven’t washed my hair in 5 days so it’s greasy and gross and she kept saying it wouldn’t look bad but I knew it would.  So finally I settled on the blowout and figured I would go for the old Hollywood glam.  When she brought me to the back to wash my hair, I looked up at the ceiling and it was covered in dust and cobwebs as if no one had ever cleaned it.  Very gross.  She didn’t rush through the blowout but barely curled it and it looked nothing like the old Hollywood glam I had picked from their book.  The back was completely flat and looked terrible so I asked her to add some waves and she tried but my hair wasn’t holding it I guess.  I didn’t even take a picture of it because it just looked so bad.  I ended up going home and the girl who did my makeup fixed it so it looked a little better but I still was pretty disappointed.  Even my boyfriend asked why my hair wasn’t done when he got to my place (before the makeup artist fixed it).  Then when I went to check out, their system wasn’t working so she had to manually enter my card and it still wasn’t working.  I finally had to call my bank and it worked but it made me late for my next appointment.  They said that sometimes their system works and sometimes it doesn’t and it’s been like that for a while.

You would think in a place like Brentwood the place would be clean, it would be busy and their system would work.  But there was none of that.  I’m sad to see this place go so downhill from what it used to be.  This was the most depressing and disappointing experience I’ve ever had here.

I showed a picture of what I wanted to the stylist. It was from their own social media.

There's no mirror so I wasn't able to see my hair until she finished. Nothing like what I requested. I had told her this was for my wedding too & she put on a movie about divorce.

I also had requested a scalp treatment, that never happened. Luckily that wasn't added to my total.

Waste of time & money. Now my wedding pictures don't have the hair I wanted.

If I could leave a negative review I would. Got a major burn on my forehead while getting my hair done at the Brentwood location. The staff was unapologetic about it,rude, mean and I have been threatened. Reached out the main company which is not willing to cooperate and reimburse the medical bills even. If you are a professional looking for experienced hair stylist not just part time ( not even sure insured or licensed ) workers avoid this place/ chain.Taking legal actions moving forward

I had one of the best blowouts here last week. I wish I remembered the stylists name. I have very long and thick hair. It’s hard to blowout my hair and a lot of stylists have trouble with it, so I’m very cautious with how it’s done. She did my hair perfectly with volume and everything I wanted. If I lived here I’d go to that stylist every week.

WORST experience at a hair salon.

At worst stylists comments were racially discriminatory and at best they were ignorant and rude.

Someone who is unfamiliar with diverse hair styles and textures should not work in a salon with a diverse clientele

Drybar - El Segundo

The blowouts here are hit or miss, could be phenomenal or terrible. The bigger problem? I have never once been seated before 20 min past my appointment time.

After the 3rd time of this happening in 3 weeks, I spoke with the front desk person. They were apologetic and noncommittal as to how to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Here's the the thing, if you're running 30 min behind, text me. Call me. Send a flare. But don't disrespect my time and try to enforce your late policy when I'm less than 5 min late.

Unfortunately post COVID, choices are limited. This location capitalizes

My stylist was very nice.... but the price!
I booked for a dry style at 9am for a wedding I was going to in the evening (price is $35)
I asked if I had to pick a style from their menu or if I could show a picture of what I wanted. I was informed a picture was fine. I had a simple pinned back braid with loose curls
My stylist said I would be charged extra since it was considered an "up-do" (I'm not entirely sure how a pinned back braid is considered an up-do but I agreed)
Flash forward to check out.... my total is $65, and they called it their Uptini. I was so shocked, I just paid in the moment and left at 9:32am
I'm honestly frustrated that a less than 30min style could cost $65, especially when the extra charge wasn't presented to me? I was expecting an extra $15, not double the price I saw online

I went to this Drybar and my stylist was Lesly who I think is new. She was so amazing and did an awesome job on my hair. I was so relaxed that I can’t wait to go back and request her. Thank you Lesly for an awesome job!!

Today I walked in to the DryBar with curly hair that was dry and looked a hott mess.. And I walked out looking like a hair model.. I had an amazing hair girl by the name of Alita who took excellent care of my hair.. I am grateful and thankful.. 🤗

Kind and helpful staff but this store is always understaffed and its hard to book an appointment and when you do there is usually a wait sometimes 10-20 min.

Drybar - Torrance

First experience at the dry bar definitely look like a place I could go to but unfortunately I feel like my first experience was not the best I paid for a head massage she used latex  gloves, my hair getting tangled with her gloves she was totally double masked up, which I respect. No conversation, I felt like she wasn’t happy working there.  I think at the most we probably got three words in total.  my hair was ok,  but seeing other people come out with gorgeous blowouts felt cheated out of my experience… not going  to disclose a name because that’s not what I’m doing, but maybe management should really talk to their staff about customer service . When I seen the commercial for this, they offered champagne and water, etc. etc. I wasn’t offered anything at all. Maybe different place..

Just got my hair done today by Ashley and she’s amazing! Will be going back now once month to get my hair done by her! Super sweet and knows what she’s doing!

Unfortunately, I have to leave a bad review. I had specifically asked for someone who knows how to work with textured hair. I should have known better. The girl who did my hair was super super sweet, so I hate to leave the review! But certain textures need more or less product. If she was familiar with my texture, then she would have known that my hair needs a little more than other textures. $100 later and an hour later…my hair is puffy and starting to frizz. Very disappointed. PLEASE HIRE MORE WOMEN WHO CAN WORK WITH TEXTURED HAIR! Thank you!

I have been going to drybar weekly for a year.  The service has declined so much.   More and more frequently they are running behind schedule. No one says anything, no apologies, no information about how long.   Then tonight while I scheduled an up do, there is no one to do it.

A tad upset.

Set up my appointment and arrived — everything else was handled beautifully and professionally. DryBar Torrance is now my favorite go-to for any event, or on those days that I just want to feel special. Highly recommend!

Waxing Aesthetics by Brittany

Brittany IS AMAZING!!! I love her work! she makes me feel comfortable and confident in myself. Thank you so much!!❤️❤️

Brittany is the best! I happened to just find her via google and saw all of the reviews and decided to give her a shot.  I was looking for a new place to get my brows waxed and I was very happy with outcome!  I have been a few times now and will definitely continue to recommend her to others!

Brittany is the best. She makes you feel so comfortable and has the best technique!  Highly recommend her for any and all services!

My sister-in-law recommended Brittany to me and I couldn’t be happier I decided to book! Ever since I started getting my eyebrows waxed as a teenager, I break out so badly every single time no matter the waxer or the wax. Redness for days. I got my eyebrows waxed and tinted by Brittany yesterday and not only to they look the best they’ve ever looked, but there is no sign of redness or break out at ALL. Brittany is a magician. If you’re looking for a new aesthetician look no further!!

Brittany is so bomb!!!! She made me feel comfortable and the whole appointment super smooth & as painless as possible. I highly recommend her services to anyone !!!! The best literally.

Drybar - Santa Monica

The Beauty Co Salon and Blow dry Bar

Kimya has to be one the best in the business!  First of all, her fingers are pure magic. Her shampoos alone are worth the trip.  Pure magic!  From start to finish she makes you feel welcomed, and the finished product will make you feel and look amazing.

I used have anxiety about getting my hair done before because I never got what I wanted and I always felt like they messed up my hair.  That was before I found Kimya.  I won’t go to any one else.

Ah! Kimya is an absolutely amazing stylist! She is my personal Life Alert for my hair! She has rescued me from a couple of different hair emergencies! She is proficient and literally works magic. I highly recommend Kimya for any hair service. She’s so FAB!

My daughter has been getting her hair done by Kimya for about 3 years now her hair has been much more healthy always a great visit very professional and quality service. We love and appreciate her services.

Kimya is a great stylist. Always professional and I never have to wait more than 10 mins to get my hair done. She also cares about how healthy my hair is. I appreciate her care.

I visited blow drys and beats a couple days before my birthday in September and had a silk press done by kimya. The experience was excellent and I hadn’t been to a hair salon in over 3 years! I have very coarse/ curly hair and I was afraid that a silk press might damage the integrity of my curl pattern , but kimya was so knowledgeable and professional. She told me not to worry and she explained all the steps she’d take to ensure my hair would be fine. My silk press was done beautifully and more importantly, my curls are still popping! Ask for kimya ,she is awesome and she knows her stuff.
