Blow Me Away Blow Dry Bar

Maybe I wasn’t the «right» type of client but pretty rude staff. The guy who did my hair had an attitude the whole time I was in his chair. It’s my birthday today. I was looking forward to getting my hair done here for the first time. Granted my hair looks great. But the environment I guess isn’t for me. I even told the guy at the first desk about my experience. He kinda shook me off and said bye quickly. Great hair bad attitudes. :/

Chris was great! Super nice and professional and he did a great job on my beach tousled waves. He also does makeup so if you are interested call in advance and ask. And if you want your nails done, you need to make sure the nail technician is working that day, so you will need an appointment (you are not able to book the nail or makeup online). Will definitely go back next time I’m in town!

Best blow out I’ve ever gotten! I used the Groupon and I know I will for sure be back soon to get my hair done again. Chris and Michael were so sweet and Chris made my hair look like Kim kardashian’s! Thanks, guys, for the great loook!
Only issue is parking. I found street parking and I walked a block but honestly wasn’t bad.
Heads up: it’s on a side street. Not on 3^rd. It’s like behind toast café.

I found a Groupon for this place and was excited about trying it out. I scheduled an appointment for a blowout & mentioned my groupon over the phone and was scheduled for a Friday. I mentioned my groupon when I arrived and after my blowout was done the man at the front desk said the voucher was only good for Monday-​Thursday and that I needed to read the fine print. The man at the desk was terribly rude and insulting. The customer service & blowout was mediocre. I will NEVER go back there again! Ladies pay the extra $ 10 and go to Blow Dry Bar around the corner!!!

I am going back today for the second time. Today Gillermo will be fixing the color. I am growing out my grey. I will post pictures. Gillermo helped me feel comfortable and confident in his work by actually listening and doing an amazing job. try him. He rocks.
OH MY GOD! The color is fantastic. You know how great you feel when you get exactly what you want. Great color, people I don’t even know stop and ask about my color. I got it done on Thursday and today is Saturday and the blow dry still looks good. I do not know anyone who goes here or works here. I had random good luck. It happens. I feel pretty again. The staff here are old school customer service with a fresh young outlook. I laughed a little and had a wonderful experience.

The salon was clean, the employees were helpful and courteous, the service was good (good blow out). Overall I was pleased with the service and my stylist. Everyone was attentive and kind. I like that they accommodate last minute appointments. I will return.

ZERO STARS but I couldnt post without touching a star!!!
Absolutely worst experience. Owner of store is rude and surly. He started arguing very aggressively when I went to desk asking if there was a hairdresser available to do my hair. I had waited patiently for my appointment ad I arrived twenty minutes early. When it was past my appointment time, I went up to desk and said it was past my appointment time was there someone available.
Owner began yelling at me and told me I am not welcome at store any longer.
Truthfully I last went there over one year ago as their work is HORRIBlE but it was close to my home.
By the way there was one other customer in store. There is no business there because unless the work is really that bad but again I needed to be close to home today.
The added aggressiveness and rudeness of owner makes thus salon T H E WORST PLACE EVER!!!
Though some useless person responded that they were one minute late, that is simply a lie.
The horrible hair results alone are a reason not to go here

This is a response to Perla’s review as I was the other client getting my hair done in the salon and overheard the whole conversation. You waited 20 minutes, it was your choice to come early. You appointment was for 11:30am, the stylist was available at 11:31 you decided to try and make a point and leave salon, which was absolutely ridiculous — it was 1 minute to wait while the stylist settled her previous client. Furthermore you were rude to the owner and stylist and frankly honey you needed your hair done and should have waited the 1 minute. You looked like a crazy woman not wanting to wait one minute. I checked my phone, and yes it was 1 minute.
Blow me away is my go to always for a blow out. I travel often and always get my hair done here when I am in LA. The owner Steve is fantastic, fair and professional. I recommend Michael the evening salon manager or one of the Alex’s.
Amazing salon. Great customer service. My hair always looks good when I leave.
Poor perla gonna have that dead fox on her head all week.
Have a amazing week everyone!
Sincerely,
Nadia

YES GIRL YES! I absolutely LOVE this place! I first came here two weeks ago for a blow dry with Michael. As I was getting my blow dry I was laughing and sipping champagne (the way every blow dry should be). Very fun environment, AND they are a full service salon. Here I am two weeks later leaving my second appointment where Michael did a bayalage (first time trying it!) I’ve never been happier with my hair, and am so relieved to have found Michael and Blow Me Away!

Excellent service! I arrived there five minutes before my appointment and was seen to immediately. Alex did my hair and was extremely efficient and competent. My hair was done within 20 minutes (wash, dry, curl) and couldn’t have looked better. I’d recommend this salon to anyone.

Came here over the weekend to get my hair done with Alex. It was great, they had availability last minute and were able to fit me in their schedule after I lost my appointment somewhere else.
Blow dry is $ 35 (amazing!) but they had no styles to choose from like other typical blow bars.
But they are open to what you like and are willing to replicate it.
Alex was very nice and friendly and seemed professional and was able to get me out quick.
My hair wasn’t 100% what i wanted and the curles very soon opened up and fell apart. But given the situation at the time, I’m happy with the outcome.
I would try them again but maybe with simpler styles.

When I arrived they greeted me and offered me something to drink and were very accommodating. My stylist was running a little behind (which was about ten minutes) and apologized, but to make up for it she gave me a complimentary hair mask. I got a hair cut and blow out and it came out GREAT! I will definitely be going back to my new stylist Sayaka. Love Love Love my hair!

Such a wonderful experience! I saw Mikol and he was SO friendly and nice, and knew exactly what I wanted. Also, the champagne was such a nice touch to an already great experience. Looking forward to coming back in the future!

Wow. Terrible experience top to bottom. Arrived at 2pm, was seen at 2:40! One woman told my stylist I was waiting. She proceeded to laugh it off and take photos of the woman’s hair in the chair.
Next, while I waited (or at any time) was I offered something to drink? Nope.
She proceeded to do my hair. I expressed how late it was– her response: «Nothing I can do– she had long hair.» Let me explain, every girl in LA that goes to these places has long hair. She Took 15 mins for mine and it is not as requested.
I get to the register and am told they would discount my service. Nice gesture and the reason for one star. However I tell them I have a Groupon. I’m told the fine print says no weekend. If I were any other customer I would say, ok my bad. But wouldn’t you think they would waive this knowing what my experience just was? I responded, really? Ok I’ll just Unilocal all this. Her response– that’s fine. Yikes. Great resolution-​oriented customer service.
Anyway– stay away. For $ 5 more you can go to a legitimate place with their act together.

So I woke up last weekend dreading having to wash, blow dry, and straighten my hair so I went here to help me get ready for a wedding. Alex did an amazing job on my blow dry. My hair was absolutely perfect. I wasn’t expecting much since it was my first time at a blow dry bar but they really impressed me. I got a lot of complements. I didn’t even wash my hair for like 4 days afterwards because it still had some style to it. I’m definitely going back here.

I think is pretty sad how the owner makes her own reviews here. Poor Thing .
the stylist here are okay, Wendy is my girl. Its nice to see a person that is actually human. The customers that come here are horrible, they think that these stylist can create magic,

Not great, I came out strangely puffy. Two hours later I noticed the top of my head was looking like David Bowie in the Labyrinth. Had to put a lot of hair pomade to tame hair back down. The next day my hair was pretty much a sorry mess.

I love this place. I usually see the Alex’s (there are 2) Their salon is clean, the products they use are great quality & they even serve lattes & mimosa’s.
Plus my hair looks great for 3 days or more after my blowout.

I love this place. Scheduling appointments is easy and convenient, as you can do so online. Steve (the owner/​manager) is very friendly and always helpful if you have additional questions. The stylists change frequently but they are all quite good! My blow dry usually lasts for about 3 days! The service is quick. The styling is very relaxing. Clients are offered tea/​coffee/​orange juice/​champagne/​wine/​water. Parking is street meter parking but 5 – 10 min max should suffice to find a space. The staff is friendly and polite. I recommend buying the package — it saves you money per visit and does not expire. The place is also pet friendly, which is a huge plus for me.

I have been here three times and am always super happy with the result — staff is really friendly

I’ve written rants and raves about this place, but I’m happy to say that they only deserve praise. The space is open and airy (and you can actually hear the music they play as there aren’t 50 other blow driers going at once). When you enter, the Manager kindly offers you a drink — coffee, tea, or mimosa (uhm — yes please!) and you are then greeted by your talented stylist (ask for Orion, Michael, or Alex — all know what they’re doing with thick, long, and unruly hair). After a brisk wash, you’ll see your tresses smoothed out in no time. Now go get a salad next door at Toast and enjoy your day :)

This was my second time visiting here and today was even better than the first time! First of all, the shampoo experience alone was enough to make this 5 stars. Heavenly!!! Then the actual style was great! My hair looks amazing and it is holding up great! (I came in at 9 and had to travel for my event). I’m looking forward to my next appointment! Awesome place!

This was my first time visiting and I am a happy girl. There are a ton of blow dry salons, in the area, and it can be a bit overwhelming. I am so glad that I chose Blow Me Away. From the moment I walked in everyone was kind and cheerful. Great vibe.
Mikol was my stylist, and we got right down to business. We discussed what I wanted and he got right to work. As a curly haired girl, blow outs don’t always take. He made sure to address my concerns and handled them like a pro. He blew out my long, curly from (from full wet) like a boss! Even making sure to make the last minute tweeks to make sure I was a happy girl.
I was in and out, in under an hour, but was NOT rushed. Perfect bit of pampering that I needed. And the whole staff (as well ass fellow patrons) were a delight.
Thank you, and I will see you guys again soon!

I’m a pretty big fan of all things having to do with blowing and this blow dry bar is no exception!
Mikohl did my hair and he took me from a ratty brassy balayaged blonde to a dark brown au naturale goth princess in a matter of a couple hours and my hair hasn’t felt this healthy in years. Also the area where you get your hair colored & cut is upstairs in this cool little attic-​y area and it makes you feel like you’re having a kiki while you’re getting pampered and beautified.
The owner was super nice and his head was v shiny and he gave me coffee and a giant mimosa so I think we are basically dating.
Also a regular blowout is $ 35 and is now cheaper than the drybar nearby since they just raised the prices to $ 40 so they can suck it.
Will be back 4 more blow soon ttyl yall! xoxo

First time visiting today and I will absolutely be back! Alex did my hair and he was wonderful. Very efficient, talented and did a wonderful job! If you are planning on getting your blowout done here I would say to absolutely ask for Alex, you won’t be disappointed!!!

I had a fantastic experience here with Jason.
I had a flight early the next morning and explained to him that I needed a style which could survive being slept on and still look decent after my 5+ hour flight.
He patiently listened to me and expertly crafted me casual, beachy waves.
He’s truly an artist and I can’t recommend him more highly.
Oh, and although I wasn’t in a rush, I came in for my 6:30 appointment exactly on time and was out by 7:00! Great if you’re in a time-​crunch.

Went for my birthday blow out after buying a groupon. Wanted to really love it. The guy who did my blow out was wonderful and did a great job. and the blow out was great until the iron was dropped on my bare legs and left a huge painful burn. Rather than the manager doing anything about it, they refused my groupon (which was my fault because I guess it’s only valid Monday thru Thursday) but instead of comping my blow out because I literally had a huge welt which was going to leave a scar he took $ 5 off. My leg was in a full blister by the end of the night and my outfit was ruined. Now it’s a 3 inch burn and just my bare flesh showing. So disappointed with how everything went down… and so upset with the scar that it’s leaving. Groupon however was fully apologetic and refunded me immediately.

On arrival I was immediately offered coffee. Wendy did my hair, she did a wonderful job. I highly recommend this place, ask for wendy.

First time at blow me away dry bar and I loved it. I have a lot of hair and its long and Leslie did a great job. Love this place

I am a Duchess,@michellebrusa@Blowmeaway
I am a very regular customer at this
Fabulous Establishment! I have enjoyed the
Services at Blow Me Away, for over a year
Now since moving from New York. I am a very hard to please customer, who expects
Excellent customer service and care!
I have honestly never been disappointed
here! The Owners Steve & Yen are superior
Hosts, and the staff is always friendly and professional. Best of all I always leave with a
Smile and looking and feeling like a Million Bucks! Thank you Orion, Yen, Steve, Michael & Maggie! Awesome Job!

OMG! Where do I start?
I was here from out of town for an event and saw them on Groupon, I called and they were able to get me in ASAP.
Mikol did my cut & blow out, what an amazing experience. By far the best I have ever had. Great to talk to as well as so hospitable and amazing at his job. My hair turned out amazing for my event. I’m very picky with who I let touch my hair and he really came through.
Next I got a pedicure from the owners wife. Very gentle but did an amazing job. Clean and had lots of colors of polish in good brands.
They offer champagne, mimosa, water, etc. Very clean and easy to make an appointment. I would recommend to anyone!

Went in for a blow out with Wendy! She’s absolutely amazing. I got offered a beverage right when I walked in, I believe they were the owners (super nice!) the place is really clean and pretty and use Morrocan Oil and Bumble and Bumble… I prefer Morracan Oil.
So Wendy…
She’s so fast and gave me great tips after I damaged my hair with bleach. She never once gave me the usual «omg you have so much hair» I get from stylists. She was sweet and funny and even though I was last appt. she didn’t slack off. The experience was great and to top it off I guess I showed up when it was cheaper, like $ 28, usually $ 35.
Over all I can’t wait to go back.

I’m an adult. I’ve lived with my hair a VERY long time. I know it’s quirks, it’s upsides and its downsides. I know it doesn’t travel well and finds hard water, such as the water of LA, its enemy… So I know how best to get it styled so it will last, give me volume and the smoothness I desire and get me through at least 3 — 4 days of semi-​joy.
This intimate knowledge makes me well qualified to tell a stylist what will work — and what wont. Wish Leslie had listened. We discussed this at length, I stopped her as she was working. But nope — I guess she can only do blow-​outs her way… and not only did that not last even a half hour, it gave me a look I could well live without.
There’s a reason the saying ‘the customer is always right!’ came into existence…
Be aware: «cash only».
Sorry, but I won’t be back.

This blow-​dry bar is super-​cute and fast. I made a reservation and was seated as soon as I walked in. Love the atmosphere, the décor, and the free lattes/​mimosas/​bubbly. My stylist asked me a lot of questions about what I wanted and made sure that I liked what she was doing. At first, my hair came out a lot bigger than I had wanted but it went down substantially and I received a lot of compliments.
It was nice to see quite a few younger girls (preteens/​young teens) hanging out here along with the 20s crowd.
