Drybar Whitefish Bay - Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin

I scheduled a blowout at Drybar in Whitefish Bay for Friday at 11:45 AM to get ready for my event that evening. Liz was my stylist, and she did an absolutely amazing job! She was so friendly, professional, and made me feel beautiful. I loved the experience so much that I signed up for the monthly Barfly membership and can’t wait to see Liz again next month!

I loved the bright, airy interior.

After checking in, I helped myself to some coffee. They have a little coffee and water station by the window.

Kiki came to greet me after I checked in. We talked about what I wanted done. I asked for beach waves, and I think Kiki called it the Mai Tai.

Then we went into the shampoo are to get the hair washed and conditioned. I've had better shampoos with my hair stylist - usually, they give me a quick massage when they shampoo, but at Drybar, you have to pay an extra $15 for a massage. So they don't massage unless you pay extra. A bit weird, since shampooing by default requires a little rubbing around the scalp, but it felt kinda like she was holding back. I didn't need a proper massage, but I would like to get the normal shampoo I expect at a salon.

The blowout itself was great. Kiki was super friendly and talked nice and clear through the hair dryer. She also did give me all the details on their subscription program and add on extras. As well as their product line up.

I did ask for not too much product, and I think she minimized on the product usage. Hair didn't feel sticky afterwards, but I did have a lingering hairspray smell, which I didn't like too much. Their products generally have a tropical scent, and were not unpleasant, but hairspray is hairspray. Once the tropical scents evaporated, my hair still had the hairspray smell the next day. I ended up having to wash my hair a day earlier than I usually do.

Having years of hair curling experience under my belt, I gotta say the style wasn't all that much different from when I do it myself, but it was definitely a relaxing and pampering experience that I don't get when I do it myself. I wasn't sweating and my arms didn't hurt. lol

Payment is done at the counter afterwards, and my stylist stayed with me through the payment. Tipping is separate, by cash or Venmo, rather than through the credit along with the payment.

Overall, such a relaxing time while getting my hair done! I could definitely get used to this.

Today was my first experience at Drybar. Everyone was very friendly and professional. My stylist was wonderful! She asked me what style I was looking for and really took her time with my service. The salon was busy but upbeat and fun! I’m obsessed with my blowout. I will definitely be back in the future.

I had a fabulous experience at Drybar and I couldn't be happier with my blowout! Miranda was incredibly talented and gave me the look I wanted.

One thing I always appreciate about Drybar is the amazing scent that lingers in my hair long after I leave. It's the little details like this that make the experience truly special.

I highly recommend Drybar to anyone looking for a top-notch blowout experience. Thank you to Miranda, who made me feel amazing and to the entire team at Drybar for their exceptional service!

I had a terrible experience at Drybar. The pics say enough. I went in for a blowout and showed the stylist inspo pics of a bouncy look, which she said she could replicate. However, the result was nothing like the inspo. After a blow dry, a straight iron was used, which isn’t typical for a blowout, leaving clamp marks and kinked ends. This was the result of an hour's worth of work.

When I left, I only saw the front for a brief moment and said I liked it because I was in a rush. However, when I looked at the back in the car, I was horrified.

I called to ask for a refund and offered to send pictures, but the person on the phone didn’t want to see them. They refused a full refund, offering only $15 off the $70 service. I ended up paying $56 for a completely botched job.

edit: There is no way I would have let this same stylist touch my hair again with more heat, it was shown to me the first time that she cannot work well with my hair, so a retouch would not have been a good option.
