DreamDry

I love the blowouts here. They are of the highest quality. GianCarlo, Concetta, Jay are all amazing. I just wish SunJu worked here more often– she’s fantastic but only in rarely.

Best spot for a blowout in the city by far! I had another great blowout and fusio dose (my fave treatment) today with Ianya. She was really sweet and attentive to what I wanted and how much product to use. Theyre also selling some must have fur mittens i picked up at checkout… OBSESSED!!!
Oh yeah, and they’re dog friendly– huge plus!

Hands down the BEST blowout in NYC. What a beautiful space! I love right down the street and I am so excited they are here. Staff is amazing, they always go above and beyond to make sure you are happy with the experience. I love all of the stylists here — but my favorites are Geraldine, JC, and Bricel. I love Sonia too but it’s impossible to get an appointment with her (good luck ladies) Best part is that you can request by stylist on their app — gamechanger.
THANK YOU DREAMDRY! Don’t know what I would do without you!!!

I usually go to drybar and instead came to dream dry as I left it late to get a new years eve appointment… huge mistake.
The stylist sat me down flicked through some hair pictures and asked what I wanted. I point to one with loose blown out curls and she says, I think you would prefer this one and points to a tightly curled effort. I said that I absolutely didn’t want that and want a loose, relaxed, look. I took off my glasses to let her do her thing and chilled out. I have fine hair, so I got hugely concerned when I felt huge lashings of serum being applied directly to my scalp all over the top, as I know that volume is an issue (which I had expressly told the stylist). I let it go and put on my glasses when she said she was finished. Oh my god, I looked like a deranged poodle. The front top was flat (thanks to the excessive serum). The back top was huge and pouffed up. and then about earlobe height started small very tight curls. The stylist was like ‘it looks great doesn’t it’. Then looked at my face and went to get someone to ‘fix it’. The person who ‘fixed it’ put curls at the top which fell straight out (thanks serum) and brushed out what the other person had done with the tight curls. I was almost in tears at this stage and beginning to worry about getting ready for new years.
I went home, and no one even noticed I had had my hair done. Eventually I asked my roommate what she thought, and the comment was ‘hmmm you looked like you probably had a good blow out last night and then slept on it. It honestly looks lank and greasy.’ she then brushed it out to try to make it better, and eventually I gave up and washed the whole thing out and went to my friends place where she re-​curled it and made it look 100% better.
This is hands down the worst salon i’ve ever been to. I would never come back and will actively tell my friends to not use it. $ 47 for a waste of an hour, and a blowout which left me needing to re-​wash my hair an hour later. Im honestly shocked this place has any customers. The fact that the stylist was so nonchalant when she realized that I didnt like what she had done made me realize that this happens all the time. Honestly, I want my money back. O stars if possible.

I generally love this place – I’ve tried a few locations of DryBar and regretted straying from DreamDry each time. However, my last visit here left quite a bit to be desired. I noticed new girls up front at reception this past Saturday. Usually, the girls are super sweet and helpful, I found these ladies to be just plain rude and short with everyone, myself included. Relax, you’re reception. You have literally one job, to be the face of the place/​my first impression. Maybe try a little harder to be nice? I did reception for four years and hostessing for three-​save it. Anyway, lucky for them, I love this place so I ignored it mostly.
Onto my actual blow out. My stylist, Tyema, was really friendly and receptive to everything I was asking for. But my blowout literally lasted three hours! I understand sometimes its just hit or miss, but three hours?! Really?! She used plenty of product and was almost too meticulous with her work. I’d asked for volume on top and big loose curls at the bottom. This is basically what I get every time I am here and for some reason, this blowout just refused to stay. I felt like the way she actually did my blowout did nothing to help. I have super fine and straight hair. For some reason, she blew it out straight first and then went back in, pinned it up in rolled curls, and made her way around the rest of my hair and repeated this. I couldn’t really understand the logic in this but figured she knew what she was doing. She went back in a curling iron, but three hours later, when my hair fell flat, I wasn’t surprised at all. I also had next to no volume in my crown. I’d shown her a previous blow out I’d received that I was happy with as an example of how i wanted it, even still, nothing like it. I encourage product because of my hair type, I’m not sure what else it was beyond the technique she used.
Overall, a complete waste of a blowout. Definitely a little turned off, lucky for DreamDry, I hate DryBar so there’s that.

I have very curly hair and after having done a lot of research to see which stylist would be a good fit, I made an appointment with Anyah. The stylist who did my hair did not introduce herself and since it was my first time I did not know that she was not Anyah. The lady who did my hair did a nice job and was pleasant, however switching stylist without telling me marred my experience. I thought that was unprofessional. What is the point of being able to make an appointment with a specific stylist if things will be switched and the client won’t be notified?

I absolutely LOVE going to DreamDry. The app makes it super easy to book appointments on the go, the customer service is A+ and all of the staff is very sweet and friendly. Great place to get a braid and hairstylist Shanys really knows how to make curls hold throughout the night and into the next day! I will definitely be coming back again and again!

I was really skeptical about the bad reviews on here, but my experience definitely didn’t match previous Unilocalers.
This place was love at first blow dry.
I had scheduled a blowdry for my anniversary and was very happy with my overall experience at DreamDry.
I had scheduled my hair to be done right before my dinner, so timing was very important. Unfortunately, my dinner was delayed, so I called DreamDry to say that I would be running late. The receptionist on the phone was very understanding and said that they would be more than happy to accommodate me.
I arrived and was greeted by the receptionist. She offered to take my coat and asked if I would like water, tea, coffee or champagne. I obvi chose champagne. Something to calm the nerves before the big night.
I was then greeted by Jeraldine (sp?). She went over the style menu with me to see which hair style I wanted. I chose the Brigitte. Something elegant that didn’t look like I was trying too hard. She took me to wash my hair and I was so excited because they use Oribe. I opted to get a fusio dose done as well to boost my blow dry.
Then the blow dry began. I would like to first state that I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to my hair, especially my bangs, and everything was perfect. She was able to put voluptuous waves in my stubborn pin straight hair. The best part is that my hair stayed that way till the next day.
I will DEFINITELY be back.

If I could give them 0 stars I would. The stylist I went to was great at crown braids. His blowouts are horrible. It is almost like he’d rather be someplace else.
Very half-​assed. It looked like I did it myself. I also had a conditioning treatment done and it still looked blah. No vibrancy whatsoever.
The Oribe products he used were not made for the style he did. I also went the week that $ 40 blowouts were about to be $ 45. Everyone was desperate to push $ 720 blowout packages that day.
What a waste of money.

Dream Dry is the only blow-​dry bar I’ll ever go to again. The team there is fun, really professional, and seriously know their way around a round brush and curling iron. I am useless with a curling iron but luckily Ebony and Jasmine, my go-​to stylists, really know their stuff. My boss and I are blow out addicts and love absolutely love both stylists for whenever we need a refresh. Check this place out and get a glass (or 2) of champagne and enjoy!

Dream dry is great! There are so many blow dry bars and salons in walking distance of flat iron area to choose from, but this place is great! You can easily make an appointment online or by calling. I purchased a 4 back of blow dry and had no problem retrieving it and making a same day appointment.
The location is Great and the place is huge. When you walk in its quite calming. I’ve tried dry bar and blo and all you hear is blow dryers when you’re in there. Here it’s quite soothing which is nice! My stylist was great. She listened to what i wanted and gave me a great blow dry! I was in and out in under 45 min which is saying a lot since I have a massive amount of hair.
The staff is nice and offer you beverages when you check in. There is also wifi if you want to bring your laptop to do some work. They just recently teamed up with Spruce for eyebrows which I’ll be trying later this month. I’ll update later.
Try it out and you won’t be disappointed.

I recently visited during a promo event sponsored by Crest, so I got a free manicure. The service was very nice, and the lady who did my nails was professional, efficient, and sweet too. The salon is very clean, has minimalist décor, and a comfortable vibe. Overall, great service, and hope to be back again in the future.

This is my new go-​to blow dry bar location.
Super happy I found this place.
The energy is great, but at the same time very chill and not pretentious at all.
First two times, my appointment was running behind, but the last two times– everything has been spot on.
Quick and fun!

I had Tameya (sp?) do my hair and she is AMAZING! I had a wedding to go to that day and just wanted something elegant yet flowy. She understood exactly what I wanted and my hair came out great. Got many compliments for my hairstyle. Highly recommend her.

I got a Dreamdry updo service for a promotional event in the Meatpacking District, so I was not at their location. I really liked the multiple braids wrapped in a bun updo that I felt I could run to a cocktail or upscale event if I put on an elegant dress. Definitely would check them out again!

Wow! They were awesome here. My stylist was Lisa and I was a little late, and they immediately seated me and brought me a glass of champagne. They then went through the style book and we settled on the tousled curls. She was spot on with my request, and the curls lasted all night.
Thanks for giving me awesome birthday curls, Lisa!

As a college student with short, natural 4b curly hair, it is very difficult to find a reasonably priced salon that is able to get my hair straight without a ton of heat and product. A friend, who also has natural hair, recommend DreamDry, so I decided to try it.
I made an appointment online with another stylist, but when I got there I was paired with Anyah. She washed and detangled my hair with care. Needless to say I am blown away (no pun intended) by the fact that she was able to get my roots straight without the excessive heat you usually get with other blowouts. After two years of being in NYC, I think I have finally found my go-​to salon.

I am a huge fan of blowouts, but not a huge fan of Dreamdry, here’s what you need to know:
PROS:
— location is very convenient in Flatiron
— a lot of open last minute appointments as most people have realized its not very good
— it’s well lit and spacious
Okay I actually can’t think of any other positives and I’ve been here about a dozen times.
CONS:
— in a dozen times I’ve only had one good blowout
— consistently runs about 20 minutes past appointment time, which once or twice okay, completely understand, but EVERY TIME
— they charge if you cancel after 24 hours which, given the fact they can’t start an appointment anywhere close to the start time seems a bit unfair
All in all, Drybar is by far the best and most convenient blow dry chain in NYC, B Dry Bar is the best for an actual blowout but with only one location is not as convenient as the multitudes of Drybars; Dreamdry is a last resort. I would not book here unless you’ve exhausted all the other options, I am always so disappointed.

Shout out to Tuty for giving me the best braided headband + natural wave. She’s amazing! I went to a party that night and danced for hours and I feel like the hair just kept getting better. She’s such a joy and I will be returning when I’m in NYC! If you want a killer braid and blowout, Tuty is your girl

My first (and last) experience at DreamDry was completely disappointing. Within the 5 block walk back to my office, my «blow-​out» was completely gone. Curls/​volume/​body — all gone, leaving my hair looking messy — and not in a good way!
Stylist pushed a treatment on me without even explaining the benefits or cost. Staff was overall unresponsive. With the amount of blowout options in the city, there’s no reason to waste your time/​money at DreamDry. Would definitely NOT recommend.
