🎀 The Hair Bar Blow Dry Salon 🎀

I have had several great experiences here over the last couple months. Everyone has been very professional and my hair has turned out great! Give them a try if you're looking for hair care!

Emily did my hair today. I've never had a hair stylist less enthusiastic and less accommodating. She was unfriendly, not accommodating; she had no clients before me and no clients right after me. The only reason I'm giving it three stars is the owner of the business has seen lovely and might blowout wasn't awful.

I really wanted to like this place. But paying $55 for something that I didn’t want doesn’t entice me to leave a good review. My stylist and I unfortunately had a pretty sizable language barrier, so she was very much unable to understand what I actually wanted. I wanted a simple blowout with a round brush. Nothing else. I had hurt my shoulder that morning and doing my usual just wasn’t in the cards, so I simply needed someone else to do it for me. Nothing more. Because I sat in a chair that did not offer a view of a mirror in front of me, I didn’t see until afterward that she had curled my hair using the round brush. Why?… The hair on the top of my head was completely flat. How?… She just kept putting more and more hairspray after I said I didn’t really want or need any. Unless you have a specific stylist that you frequent at this location, do not leave it up to chance and let just any stylist take care of you. The stylist was very nice, but it simply wasn’t what I wanted and the communication barriers were frustrating in this experience.

Was hoping to write a more positive review, but the young girl did not seem to have much experience doing a blow out. She did a decent shampoo though. However, she seemed scared to massage the shampoo in and too timid to tease my hair. And I can only assume she is rationed a certain amount of hairspray as she was very hesitant to use spray even after I asked for extra spray in certain areas of my hair. My hair was flat against my head within 30 minutes of leaving. But at least it’s washed and I can go fix it at home!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! This place is truly the worst salon in Dallas. I was excited to try it out as I just moved to the neighborhood and wanted to find a local spot to get my hair done when needed. The girl who did my hair, although very nice, left my hair flat, frizzy and half curled and half uncurled. I left looking like I had two different lengths of hair on either side. I had to then shower and redo my hair on my own making me late to an event. This was supposed to be relaxing and a time saver for me and ended up being a stress and unnecessary expense. I have since tried calling (very kindly) to try and speak with a manager. I have left 4 messages with many different associates, all who of which tell me there is no one who can help but him. He clearly doesn’t care enough to call. I wanted to speak to a manager before going public but it’s been two weeks with no care to address the issue with me. I will tell everyone I know and the entire neighborhood: AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

I had my bridal hair and makeup done at the Hair Bar for just $138 plus tip. My makeup artist was absolutely perfect. I told her I wasn’t used to much makeup and wanted a natural look. She asked me if she’d done what I wanted at every single step and gladly adjusted things until I was perfectly happy. She made me feel very comfortable expressing what I wanted. I wish I remembered her name so I could recommend her! Unfortunately, I can’t recommend my hair stylist. She was fun to chat with and seemed to know my hair type (which doesn’t hold a curl well) and assured me she could get it to hold curls with minimal hairspray. For my hair trial (which I paid full price for), the curls didn’t last even a couple hours, so we decided we’d need heavy spray to make it through a whole wedding day. Surprisingly, on the morning of the wedding, she refused to add hair spray to my curls even though my bridesmaids and I asked her over and over. We ended up spraying my hair ourselves in the back of the church. Pretty hairstyle, but having our requests denied over and over was not what we paid for.

I went to the Hair Bar this past weekend for homecoming to get my hair and makeup done. Karen, the hair stylist, was so professional throughout the appointment! She is an outstanding hair stylist. I also did my makeup with Rebecca who was also amazing. She knew exactly what to do and everything turned out beautiful. I will definitely be coming back to them!
