Wow. I thought people only did this occasionally but I guess that makes sense. Too bad I'm not closer to Bethesda to go myself!

I usually end up going 3 times a month - I find the blowouts last 6 days for me (I have to put my hair half up on the 6th day or it looks a bit flat). Out of the 15 or so times I've gone, I've only had one "bad" blowout - it was fine, but the curl didn't hold and it had no volume on top, which is what I usually love about the blowout.

Bump.

Any experiences with the Bethesda location? How long does the blow out last?

Same here, because it reminds me of going with my grandmother to have her hair "done": someone washed, dried, and sprayed it for her, and there it would sit on her head for a week before anyone touched it again.

Has anyone got the beach look (Mei Tei, I think)?

I had a gala to attend last nigh and went to the Bethesda location. I loved it ! In a 1/2 hour I had a shampoo and great blow out. Charge was $40 and I tipped $10. For special Ocassions, I would definitley go back.

Meh. Having gone to Drybar in LA and NYC, I was disappointed. Maybe Bethesda will improve, but at this point the quality was not consistent. Honestly, I went to a wedding in NH last Satuday and had my hair done in a salon there and it was much better -- cuter, more stylish -- than Drybar Bethesda.

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.

I exercise. I've had plenty of blowouts survive a workout and shower. You just need dry shampoo and a blowdryer/flat iron for a touch up around the framing pieces.

Me, too. everyone's hair is different.
