I have really curly hair that I dry by myself every morning and it looks just as good as when I come home from the salon. Yes, it's taken me a lot of practice to get it look this good all the time, and yes, I bought the $200 hair dryer, but I will never understand why someone would spend $40+ just to get their hair dried unless maybe they are on TV every day when they could just do it themselves.

Well, you don't have my thick, wavy hair...it takes my stylist 45 min to blow dry it straight. And frankly, why time is worth more than the amount of money I pay for it. It's all simple economics.

I don't get this - you're spending the same, if not more, time getting it done by somebody. So the time is money argument doesn't really work here.

She makes more than $40 in 45 minutes.

Sorry, you're confused. She is comparing the time she could spend at home doing her hair to the time it takes to get it done. She's not working either way.

She values the time and effort savings plus the end product (awesome hair) more than she values the $40. Simple economics. And to speak for myself, I cannot get the same end result in 45 minutes that I could get at Drybar. It would take me a good hour to go from wet hair to some semblance of a decent head of hair, but by that time I'm a sweaty mess and need another shower.

Really? You're a sweaty mess after blow drying your hair? Who are you Medusa??

Pretty much. Longish, super thick, curly hair.

How do you get more than one day from a blowout if you work out? I have to wear a ponytail and my hair still gets ridiculously sweaty.

I rarely sweat. Weird, I know...inherited one good thing from my father

Was at Bethesda Row on Friday and the door was open from the construction so I had to peek--and it looks AMAZING.

Is this mostly for women with curly hair? I have straight, long hair. Do I have no business going there?

[Anonymous]

Dunno. My hair is long and frizzy and half wavy (eg a disaster) and I do one a week--now at Bubbles, soon to be at Drybr--and it works wonders.

My sister lives in LA and has long straight hair and swears by Drybar, but frankly, I see no difference in her hair (though that could just be the jealousy over her perfectly long, straight hair talking).

We are going to be like the old lady in a different thread. 90 years old and your grand children are going to be like "why on earth does granny get her hair done once a week for $60, what a waste!!".

It's not very long, just super thick and stubborn. Shorter hair does not solve the problem, just makes it look like a Brillo pad.

I just made an appointment at the Bethesda location for a special occasion in November. How was your experience at that location?

Same here. People using these services must not exercise.

Like others here, I can do a salon blow out on myself, but getting to this point took a few years. I ask A LOT of questions when I get my hair cut and styled. Not to mention the Keratin takes most of the work out of it anyways.

does a $200 hairdryer make any difference? still have the $20 one.

In my case, yes the hair dryer made a HUGE difference. When my $200 dryer broke and I had to use the old one when I sent it in to be replaced (because, hey, $200 hairdryers have warranties, awesome!), I used my old Conair, and my hair was a frizzy mess!

can you recommend a dryer?
