  okay the bethesda location needs a total reboot. they have totally lost the dry bar brand. This location is perpetually overbooked, the stylist are cliquey and unfriendly and blow drys are not good. a terrible experience the last three times. Have been big fan of dry bar and have used a lot. will never go back to Bethesda spot until a total retraining and reboot!

  I walked in on a very busy weekday. I'm a mixed chick (African and Latina) with long, thick curly hair and was worried about how this would work. I've been to Drybar once before. On that occasion the gentleman who helped me quickly blew my hair semi dry (not straight) it was still very curly and then he flat ironed it. It took a long time and the end result looked nice but wasn't what I envisioned. This time around I specified with the front desk staff that I wanted someone who knew how to blow out my ethnic hair without using a flat iron. They set me up with Caterina within about 5 mins. I specified with her what I wanted again, she said yup I got it. I was not with the regular program. My hair was in a topknot and mostly damp but I wanted to throw some water on it just in case. She accommodated my odd way of doing it. Any particular preference I had for how I wanted something done she accommodated graciously. After completing the first quadrant of my hair (in record time) I asked to see it just to make sure we were on the right track. It was what I wanted. It's shiny with just the right amount of bounce. It's not perfect; the roots could be a little bit straighter but I suspect she was trying to avoid overheating my scalp. She pinned it perfectly for me. I was desperate and otherwise wouldn't have gone back after my first experience but this experience changed my mind. I guesstimate I was in and out in 45 mins. The moral of the story is ask questions, be proactive and your experience should be satisfying also.

  I had the worst experience at this dry bar today. I went in with a friend to return a gift and we were informed (in a rude a condescending manner by Angelica) that without a gift receipt nothing could be done. As we tried to speak to a manager and explore options we were then repeatedly threatened by Carolyn that she would call the police on us if we didn't leave the store since we had already received our answer. Unbelievable!!

  I went here last month to get my hair done it wa big blow up between two stylist because the black guy didn’t want to do my hair and took a walk in over me as my friend had made an appointment for all of us to get our hair done together. The girl was mad that he didn’t reprimanded for his behavior as he purposely skipped over me and took the non white client. I actually like my hair and the girl who did it was amazing. She tried to get my mind off of the big blow up that resulted in the lady stylist walking off of her job. Because she furious that I was being treated this way. It was super unprofessional, at the end of the day the ended up charging the wrong person three times instead. They charged one of my friends cards after all of that all of our hair should’ve been highly discounted. Not to mention just being publicly embarrassed. I was thinking of going back here because I did like the shampoo they use and how silky my hair felt after. But the embarrassment of what won’t allow it. Nobody should have to feel this way.

  Had a great experience! Surprised by some of the negative reviews. I was in and out in 30 minutes and only waited 5 minutes before being seen, while enjoying a complimentary beverage. While waiting two people checked on me and all the staff were really friendly. The stylist asked if I wanted two shampoos or one (I chose two) as well as my preference about conditioner and other products. She also asked several questions about my styling preferences (I didn't have too many, let her do what she thought was best). I left with an awesome, full, feminine blow out with curls at the end. I booked a basic blow out ($40) and my stylist used curlers and a few products for volume and shine. Much, much nicer than I usually get at a salon after a haircut and of course a million times better than I could do myself. Also I have naturally thick, very curly hair - not the easiest to style - so I wasn't expecting anything fantastic, but was pleasantly surprised!
