Awful service every time by Nathasha! Rude attitude towards customers, Lies about the sun bed being fully booked, makes up recommendations for sun bed minutes whilst admitting she knows nothing about it. They sell courses as unlimited yet limit the use! Was happy to get various treatments here but will never go back!!!! Read Less

My appointment began late but they offered my friends and I a glass of champagne which was great! They did apologize and I had an amazing experience. They spent time and did my hair exactly how I wanted! I would definitely recommend Read Less

I have been a member here for nine months. They have not been able to retain their stylists at this location. They attrition rate seems really high. One of the problems with this is that the consistency and quality of my blowouts has varied greatly. Although I sometimes get great blowouts, the other times my hair has suffered. My hair stylist tells me that my ends are fried and I can see significant damage to my hair since I started coming here. I will be cancelling my membership this week. Read Less

Came in for a blowout this morning and I'm just not happy. I asked for a straight hairstyle with a little bit of a bend at the end, but my hair is curly. She put edge control or some sort of gel in my hair without asking me. I absolutely hate that stuff because it gets flaky. I was in a rush this morning so I didn't want to complain when I realized how curly it was. I'm going to stick with going to the Mosaic location; I've never had any issues there. I'm currently sitting in my car trying figure out how to make my hair less voluminous without ruining it completely because I don't have access to a flat iron at the moment. Sigh. Read Less

Would like to give 5 Stars to Christian who did an AMAZING job on my hair this morning! She even stepped up and salvaged my appointment when my initial stylist was late showing up to work. Thank you tons, Christian!! You've got a new loyal client! Read Less

Read the reviews below and believe them. I won't be ok! I have tried this place 3x and I have never walked out feel like a had an amazing blow dry. It just not a good place. I went on my bday thought is would try beach waves. I look ridiculous like a 5 year old with short curls! Not sure who I would even complain this evening, so I didn't sat anything but I'm so sad.  Save your money. Read Less

I asked for huge, like Texas big, hair and got flat and gross. Fortunately I was able to go back and fix it myself but I should not have to when I paid for big. If I wanted flat I could have done it myself. Waste of money. Read Less

After trying almost every stylist over the span of a year, I will probably discontinue my membership. The second I find the right stylist, she ends up leaving or never has availability (even if you call weeks in advance) I don't like the fact that my membership doesn't work at both locations.. makes no sense to me.I also realized $35 for a sub-par blowout isn't worth it. I'd gladly pay $40-$50 at other salons for an awesome blowout (which is what I have been doing lately)3 stars for April and Haymi. Read Less

I started my membership in July of 2016 and have been going regularly every week, most times more than once a week.  I have had most of the stylists do my hair and they have all done a wonderful job!  I consistently leave satisfied and I have a lot of hair.  I HIGHLY recommend Cherry Blow Dry in Arlington.

This review is for Maisha! I have been to blowout salons all over DC, Baltimore, and NYC, and the best blowouts I have ever received are from Maisha. My hair looks gorgeous and it lasts for days and days. She's the best.  I have followed her from two previous salons in Arlington. There are plenty of salons closer to me, but I am happy to keep returning to her despite the half-hour drive.  As far as the salon itself, I was warmly greeted, immediately offered sparkling water, and my appointment began on time.

Came here for the first time in January to have my hair blown out for my company holiday party. Upon arrival, I heard the stylist and the front desk person talking about me (used my name Emily) and how I was new client and no idea if I will be difficult or whatnot. I waited for them to finish their conversation and then was finally able to check in. The service started pretty timely but I felt like she didn't want me as her client since there wasn't much chatter. Halfway through the service, I was offered a beverage while it seemed like everyone else had their before their service started. Anyway, I mentioned that I wanted loose curls but needed to last until midnight and my appt was at 2pm. She did a nice job on my hair since she curled it tighter up front and then I would loosen it up on my own when it was time for the event. It lasted all night long so hooray! I also had a gift card and a couple dollars remaining so I decided to get my eyelashes done as well for $12. To preface, I have pretty long lashes and can get a fake lash effect with mascara. She starts taking out lases without asking what kind of look I'm going for. The lashes look like my regular eyelashes so I ask for something more dramatic. The more "dramatic" ones looked fine but in my mind I'm like I have better eyelashes at home and Sephora but whatever. She goes on telling me how she's great at applying lashes and both times the glue stuck to my bottom lid. I've never had this happen when I would get applications at Sephora. Again kind of annoying but she unsticks them. She doesn't offer me a handheld mirror to inspect so I leave. I get home and one eyelash is sticking straight out and the other is curled up. I'm like -_-. I can't have my eyelashes in 2 different directions! Luckily, I was able to apply a couple layers of mascara to rectify the problem but I wish it was done correctly the first time and that I was able to look at all the eyelashes available and pick the one I wanted. Overall the place is conveniently located and the hairstylist did a nice job at the end of the day. i don't think I'd be running back to this place but I wouldn't be opposed if they had an appointment at a convenient time.

I didn't even get to have an appointment. When I showed up for my reservation (a few minutes early) I waited, and waited, and waited. Two people who came in after me were taken while I waited - one with the same appt time as I had and another with one 15 minutes later. When I asked when I would be taken, I was told my stylist wouldn't be ready for another 10 mins or so, maybe a little longer. When I said I couldn't wait all I got was an "OK" from the receptionist, not an "I'm sorry" or a "let me see if anyone else is available." Very disappointing and just terrible service. Read Less

I did not have a good experience here. Although the front desk staff were friendly and attentive, my stylist was apathetic and unprofessional. First of all, I paid extra to add a "10 minute scalp massage" to my wash. Instead, my hair wash lasted less than 5 minutes total. Tinisha (?) was also very rough with the hair brush. Not only did it hurt, but she was visibly pulling out wads of my hair in the process. She did not use any heat protectant on my fine, light-colored hair and she straightened it in very thin segments--which any hair stylist should know is incredibly damaging.  Finally, I paid extra for a small braid, which was done completely haphazardly. I asked the stylist to fix the pieces that were visibly sticking out, to which she responded: "no they aren't." I ended up taking the braid out as soon as I left. A huge waste of $70.. I won't be back. Read Less

This rating is for the hairstylist Nicole. I understand she is new but my experience was horrible. My review is so delayed because I have been trying to block out the memory.My boyfriend lives in DC so I flew in on a red-eye flight to visit him for New Year's. Being the thoughtful boyfriend that he is, he researched places nearby where he lives so that I wouldn't have to deal with doing my hair after having been on a long flight. I walked in and was greeted by the pleasant front desk girl who offered me something to drink. Several minutes later, Nicole came out and took me to the chair. She was not very articulate or communicative - didn't ask me to sit in the chair, just stood in front of it awkwardly. I asked if I should sit and she nodded. So I sat and then she handed me a book without saying anything so I didn't know it was the lookbook to pick out a hairstyle. She just stared at me for several seconds until I said "Oh, is this the lookbook?" to which she nodded again. I picked the one with loose waves and she sighed. Then she took me back to the hairwashing station where she proceeded to blast my scalp with ice cold water. I thought, maybe the water needs some time to warm up (even though I frequent salons so often that I'm aware that you're supposed to test the water on your own hand before putting it on the client's head/hair), so I didn't say anything. Then she slopped a huge dollop of what felt like hair gel (it definitely was not shampoo) onto my scalp and proceeded to run it through my hair, pulling my hair. It felt very greasy. I've been to a lot of salons, but it was my first time at a blow dry bar, so I thought maybe it was a type of primer or something. She rinsed it out with the ice cold water again and then lathered the shampoo into my hair, but never lifted my head to wash any hair from my earlobes to the nape of my neck. Then she rinsed out the shampoo with ice cold water AGAIN! By this time it was very uncomfortable so I asked if she could use warm water and she said "it's not warm enough?" After another cycle of this with conditioner, she rinsed it out with water that was still not warm, but at least not ice cold anymore.She tried to do the towel turban on my head but failed miserably, so I had what looked like a towel headband on with my long hair sopping wet and dripping onto my clothes. She told me to get up and follow her back to the chair, and in the process of walking she pulled the dry towel that she had put around my neck so now my dripping wet and cold hair was getting my clothes wet. I sat down and she began very roughly brushing my hair and proceeded with the blow drying. She would angle the blow dry upwards from ends of hair to the scalp, resulting in an inordinate amount of frizz. I have pin straight Asian hair that does not frizz, but the way she was incompetently handling the blow dryer was enough to make anyone look like Monica from Friends when she went to Barbados and it was rainy (google that if you don't know what I'm talking about). Not only that, every time she would change direction she would (I'm sure unintentionally) bang me on the head with the blow dryer and the cord, and at one point was aiming the blow dryer directly into my ear and eyes. (At this point, a fire alarm went off for 15-20 min and I thought I was going to have to go outside in sub-20 degree temperature with wet hair.) Furthermore, she kept blow drying (read: frying) the same segment of hair, so after 45 minutes (I timed it), I would say 10% of my hair (random pieces) was effectively frizzy and fried, while 90% of it was still dripping wet. After all this time of not saying anything, I asked her "Are you planning on using a curling iron?" She shook her head no. I picked up a limp, fried, frizzy piece of hair and said "This just isn't what I was envisioning... it has been awhile and the majority of my hair is still wet, and the parts that are dry are not curly..." and she said "you want it curlier than that?"I could see that I was not going to get anywhere with her, so I said "could you please just dry the rest of my hair so it's not dripping wet? You don't have to curl it." She said ok. So after 30 more min of haphazard wrong-directional blow drying, she stopped and just stood there. I asked her, "are you done?" She nodded and continued to stand there awkwardly. I got up and walked to the front desk where I was asked how my experience was, and I said "It was ok... it could have been better" (to be nice). The girl was extremely apologetic and nice and asked if they could have their master stylist fix it for me. I was a little hesitant given the experience I had but they really wanted to fix it, so I said ok. So the master stylist came out, rewashed my hair, blow dryed it, and used a curling iron. They do not use heat protectant and their hair styling tools are a little on the older side, but she did her best. I still looked like a frizzy poodle at the end of all of it, but at least she attem Read Less

My appointment began 15 minutes late with no apology. After the brief consultation, my hair washing included having my head banged against the bowl 3 or 4 times. After I moved to the chair, my very tangled hair was only brushed about 2/3 of the way before sectioning took place, which meant that the tangles were then ripped through by the round brush. I've heard of using the cold air setting to set a section, but it was used for the majority of my blow out which meant that mo...st sections were not 100% dry and had to be doubled back to with hot air. Two random sections at the top were set with Velcro rollers, crooked, and when they were taken out the curl from them made the hair underneath flip out. By the time I got home the flipping was so bad that I had to rush to completely rest my hair in Velcro rollers to correct the way it was laying on my head. All in all my experience was sub par and I will not return, nor would I recommend Cherry to anyone. Žiūrėti daugiau Read Less

This was the single worst hair experience of my life. I came in before a black tie event and my hair looked alright (not great), but my hair smelled horrible for DAYS after. It smelled so bad that I thought my hair was completely ruined. I've had other blow outs at Dry Bar and other salons that were great with no issue, so I know it is something they did wrong.I called and complained and asked for a refund and a manager told me to come back in and they would just wash and blow dry my hair to try and get the smell out (they had used a curling iron before). I said alright and at the very end, they sprayed something in my hair and lo and behold it smelled awful again for days. Not only did I not get a refund but my hair smelled horrible TWICE. Be sure to carefully monitor what products they are using in your hair if you do decide to go. Read Less

This review is for Haymi; I had a black tie event and wanted to have my long hair pinned up and out of my face. I told her I trusted her, I didn't go in with my Pinterest app open. She asked if I would like a side swept braid and I thought it was a great suggestion. I don't typically care for updos because they look so formal and have all that crunchy hairspray and big fake curly cues. In less than 15 minutes she had braided my hair, pinned my locks, bobby pinned and hairsprayed me. For $65 it's no steal but I got tons of compliments and if you already own a dress it's not such a splurgy night. Read Less

Cherry Blow Dry Bar is by far the best, and most affordable dry bar in the area.  I have been a regular at several other blow out bars until I found Cherry.  My favorite thing about this salon is their packages.  You can get ones for 2, 4, etc blow outs per month, and even an UNLIMITED package for $150/month.  Literally unlimited blow outs and dry styles all month!  It is in the best location right in the middle of Clarendon.Their receptionist, Jasmine, is wonderful and always accommodating.  I have had to reschedule several times and she is always amicable.  The owner, Jennifer, is great and open to any ideas or comments anyone has about the salon.  The hairstylists are sweet and willing to do what they can to make your hair look exactly how you want it.  There have been times that I have gotten braids and asked them to re-do it a few times until it was perfect, and they always do it with no extra charge!April, Haymi, Jolicia, Kanesha, and Malaika are all amazing (you can tell I am a regular!) I don't know what I would do without this place and I encourage all ladies to try it out, especially for a special event or even just a night out to see how talented they are. Thank you Cherry for being amazing! Read Less

This 5 star review is for my recent stylist, Lindsey Moore.  I came in before a black tie wedding to get an updo and eyes/lips.  I didn't have much of an idea of what I wanted but quickly explained that I wanted it all up, care-free, and a style that would last all day/night during an unusually snowy April day.  She asked to see my dress and came up with the perfect style.  Throughout the entire updo, she asked how I liked everything she was doing and was so easy and fun to chat with.  She also made sure I got a mimosa on the house! :)  My kind of place!After the hair, Lindsey flawlessly applied my lashes, eye make-up, and lip color.  I got s omany compliments at the wedding thanks to her.  She is very talented and the best stylist I have gotten at Cherry to date!  I highly recommend you get on her calendar for any service, she was wonderful!

Had the best time at the blow dry bar. I've been twice, once first thing in the AM before a flight and on my lunch hour. They are fabulous at getting you in and out with also upholding the highest customer service! Love this place and would reccommend to anyone ! I'll be back :) thank you all!! Read Less

So glad that Cherry Blow Dry is available for a blow-out anytime as I hurt my arm and I can't wash or dry my hair right now myself. They've been extremely helpful in assisting me, I kinda don't want my arm to get better in one regard as my hair is looking healthy as well as great! I recommend them. Really nice job, thank you.

I had a positive experience. The girl that did my hair was friendly and did a great job. My appointment was at 9am but the wedding wasn't until 5:30pm so she gave me tight curls that fell into beautiful soft curls by the time of the wedding. It was exactly what I wanted. The only downside was the I had to wait 20 minutes (I got there right at 9am and didn't get started until 9:20am). Read Less

My experience at Cherry Blow Dry Bar was wonderful! Lindsay took wonderful care of me and I did an extra protein treatment which made my hair ultra silky and smooth. My blowout was phenomenal and the way she styled my hair made me feel ultra glamorous. If you have the chance please go in and stop by. Read Less

I have been wanting to get extensions for a long time and am so glad I finally pulled the trigger. If you're thinking about it, DO IT! Go to April or Lindsey - they both are awesome! I have had my extensions in for over a month now and am loving them and get SO many compliments on how great they look. I have been going back regularly to get blow-out's (about once/week) and April and Lindsey always do a fantastic job. Read Less

Don't let the picture fool you- I am a woman and started posting reviews of restaurants under my husband's account and have been simply toolazy to start my own!Review-It's what you'd expect of a chain type establishment. It's clean and simply fine. My blow dry was something i could easily do at home, not the wowzer look I usually get when I leave my salon. It wasn't special and it didn't have the bounce or fullness. My stylist shaped it down and in, making it a tad homely and boring, rather than pulling different layers in different directions and twisting them, like a good blow dry- adding movement and volume. So, for the price, it was a disappointment, nothing to follow up with again, but at the same time, it was a nice experience. I got a good wash and a gentle/relaxing blow dry. Read Less

So. I rush in to my previously arranged appointment that I specifically requested a specific stylist who did an excellent job on my hair last time only to find out that she no longer works there. WHAT?? Why wasn't I given a courtesy call before rushing from work, paying to park and being excited to get my blow out? I am so disappointed and actually quite upset that the one stylist that I wanted no longer works there. I was told that some other stylist was assigned to me now. Um...NO. Totally unacceptable. I will not be returning. Id rather pay more at a salon who can accommodate my request or at least ASK if it's ok that I get a different person. I'm DONE WITH CHERRY! Sorry not sorry. Maybe other s don't care who does their hair. I DO! Read Less

I'd give the salon experience three stars and the blowout results no stars, so two it is. I won't be back. I made a reservation online, and easily went over on my lunch hour, hoping to have good hair before a big meeting at work and a nice dinner. The location is great- right by Peet's coffee by the Clarendon metro, and it was practically empty at lunchtime. They offer water, tea or champagne, it's bright and pretty and clean in the salon, and they have upbeat club music playing. All lovely, but all what I'd expect at a normal salon. I checked in immediately and my stylist came right over, and we discussed how I wanted big curls and big volume. I thought we were on the same page, and discussed how my hair is fine but there's a lot of it, and naturally wavy/curly. We went back to wash my hair which was... nothing special. I wasnt convinced she was getting any of the back of my head with the shampoo or rinse, and the water was a little chilly- I did ask her to make it warmer. She wrapped my hair in a super tight towel bun and then brushed it with a regular paddle brush-- both things I'd been taught never do to my fine and highlighted hair at home. When the blowdry started, my stylist really didn't make any effort to lift the hair away from the root when drying it- I knew this was going to mean less volume in the long run. She also used the brush to dry my hair straight, and then got out a curling iron. This was major mistake #2- I knew that my curls wouldn't last. A good salon would have used the brush and dryer to create curls first and then use the iron to touch up. The hairspray was optional, and I said yes to it, knowing that I'd want this to last all day. At 1:20, after my 12:30 appointment, my hair looked great. By 5pm, my hair looked normal and really piece-ey- I'd lost most of the volume. By 8pm (halfway through a fancy dinner), my hair had flattened out into a greasy flat mess. My hair isn't normally greasy, and I had to wash it immediately when I got home so that I'd be appropriate for work the next day- I can usually go 2-3 days without a shampoo but this one didn't even last 10 hours. My stylist wasn't chatty or friendly, and she had me facing the door the whole time. They don't have magazines or anything so I just started answering emails on my phone, since there wasnt anything else to do. Their website says a blowout is $35, but it's actually $39. For that price, I'd rather go to drybar for a fun experience and a blowout that lasts. Read Less

Horrible experience here. Don't go! I've had many blow outs (at drybar, other franchises, Etc.) and this is the only time I have been absolutely shocked with how bad my blow out was. What is worse was the lack of consideration from management when they knew I was completely dissatisfied.I came in with a photo of what I wanted. The hairstylist said sure no problem, I can do that. I understand that my hair wouldn't look exactly like the photo, but I didn't expect a horrible frizzy, weird wavy/curled combo with everything falling completely flat before I walked out of the door. She weirdly tried to flat iron my bangs which made them stick up. Also, she never let me see the finished style until I kept asking her to let me see a mirror (I was in the second chair which isn't next to any mirrors, bad set up). When I nicely explained that there is no way I could keep my hair like that, and asked if she could fix it, the girl brushed the wave mixture and tried to re curl, which made it much worse. The hairstylist was nice enough, but probably not trained at all with how to do blow outs (at least on long hair). The owner asked me how I liked my new hair... I said I couldn't wear it out, being on the verge of tears knowing I barely had time to fix it before NYe, she gave a slight shrug and still shooed me out the door. Please note I still tipped well because I've worked in customer service and understand how difficult it is. But for a place to have such horrible customer service, and give bad blow outs when the sole purpose of the business is to style hair, is ridiculous. I'm furious I spent 50 plus on a hair style that looked so bad. I also tried to call the manager to re explain the situation and voice my frustrations (not wanting to make the hair stylist feel bad in front of customers), but I never received a call back.

I started coming here because this is the closest dry bar from my house. I am a regular at Drybar gtown and Blo in L st. My first time here I was paired with Lissa and love the result (it lasted for days...of course with dry shampoo LOL)! I got the wavy curls and that became my fave style. However the last two appointments I had was subpar, the stylists were not friendly n the results were meh :(Lately its been hard to get a weeknight appointment because they only have 1 stylist working (there must be at least 8 chairs there). I just have to stick with Blo or Drybar because I can set my appointment online. Read Less

I just had my makeup and hair done by Lissa and she was amazing! I have never written a Facebook review before, but I wanted to make sure that she gets the recognition she deserves.

I will definitely be back to see her!! Thank you, Lissa!! Read Less
