iDry Bar

I always come weekly to see Sandhya who is an eyebrow threader at iDry Bar. She has a very welcoming personality and does a great job. She does the job with care and does not cut the skin when she threads.

Eyebrow Plus used to have a kiosk right across from iDry Bar and now they’re in the same location (same owners?). I have been doing my eyebrows with Eyebrow Plus for over a year & I’ve been really happy! Ask for Sandhya — she’s very friendly & a pro!

Eyebrows: I came here because I have a membership at Eyebrow Plus (kiosk) and one day they were closed and telling people to go over to iDry. I gave it a try and loved the way the tech Arusch (sp??) did my brows!!! She also did my daughters brows and finally gave her the arch she had been wanting but didn’t want to go through the pain, she was super gentile with her. I went back a few times but I’m so disappointed to hear that she doesn’t work there anymore! She was the only reason I went there. I don’t like that they always try to upsell you, but I guess that’s what happens when you work at this type of establishment.
Hair: I would NEVER trust a mall salon to do my hair!!! I understand when people are in a pinch and want to get things done but these stylists probably just got licensed and haven’t had ANY of the technical training they need. One day while I was waiting for my eyebrows I witnessed a young lady, that didn’t speak much English, attempting to get her hair done. She was showing pictures of what she wanted and the «stylist» acted like she understood and started slathering color all over this girls hair. The girl spoke up but the stylist said that’s how she does it so the client just resigned to it. She got color on the girls forehead and a streak down her cheek so I politely went over to point it out to her and she tells me that it’s fine because they have color remover she can get it later… WHAT? You’re going to let the color sit on her face and use chemicals to remove it later? No thank you!

I wish i could give them no stars but Unilocal does not allow it. So my cousin went in to this salon about 3 weeks ago or so and she got her hair completely ruined by these girls that have no idea what they’re doing.
So me and my cousin do eachother’s hair all the time and don’t have any degrees but have somewhat of an idea of what we do. I have been doing a long process to her hair and was bleached at the tips but the roots were virgin. She wanted something a bit more professional done so she decided to try this salon.
She went in and asked if they could do the color that she had on a picture and they said yeah. After they started her hair she mentioned that it would be better if she darkened her base. My cousin said no and the girl seemed surprised. The girls were texting someone and googlong how they could fix her hair. HORRIBLE! About half way my cousin noticed the color coming out a bit too dark so she asked for them to stop. The girl explained that once she dried it it would look lighter, so they did so and it was still dark. My cousin outraged at the service and inexperience got her stuff and left.
I would NEVER go back and would recommend everyone to STAY AWAY from this hell hole. This place is a joke filled with young girls who don’t know anything.

Very awful Salon, the girls are rude and messed up my hair color also, The front desk girl was very pushy about getting a blow out Membership. Decided to go and get a blow out and color because the actual Drybar was fully booked and I will never go back to iDrybar!

I frequent valleyfair mall a lot, and not once have I gotten a service at any place in the mall… Until, I stumbled upon iDrybar. Honestly my first thought was bootleg drybar from down the street lol. I’ve never even gotten a blow out because I have fine hair and nothing seems to help its lifeless limp greasy state, so I’m definitely a top bun type of gal 99% of the time. I was killing some time at the mall to dodge the traffic on the way home and got flagged down by a worker standing outside they’re door, and I went along with it because one I was killing time, and two it looked so cool in there. It was super clean, and bright, and pretty big too. I decided to get a blow out because they really convinced me that hey could get some life in my hair, and they did! The chairs were comfy and the gal servicing me was friendly and professional, def will be back to try their other services.

I stumbled upon this gem while doing last minute Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve. I felt greasy and exhausted when I arrived but left feeling refreshed, gorgeous and ready for the holiday festivities I had planned for that evening.
I was a little skeptical at first about the place because the name so closely resembles «drybar» but their concepts are completely different, and iDry Bar offers a million more services.
The only negative thing I would have to say about the place is that they have a limited waiting area and when I was there they had a million people waiting for threading.

My go-​to threader is now at this location and I am ecstatic that I am able to get my eyebrows threaded and hair done at the same place! All of the ladies here are sweet and inviting. They’re young but great at what they do! Don’t underestimate a young face :)

iDry Bar is owned by the same people who bring you Eyebrow Plus downstairs. If you have a membership with Eyebrow Plus, then you can come here to utilize this space.
Pros: Pretty cheap for eyebrow threading, especially if you get any of the memberships. If you have a Five Stars Card, then you can also be spammed by their occasional holiday specials which give you even better discounts. Some of the girls are better at threading than others, but it will just be trial and error to see whose style you like the most. If you find someone you like, latch on and don’t let go!
Cons: They usually try to up-​sell you. I am of East Asian descent, which means that I’m fairly hairless. A few times they have tried to sell me the unlimited package (which I finally relented since I do plan to utilize it.) However, once someone tried to up-​sell me on a full-​face threading… because as a hairless Asian female, I really need to thread my beard and encroaching hairline.

Called in the morning to ask about walkins. They close 6 and i was told the latest i could come in was 550. i get here 530 and was told last walkin is 515… took me 30mins to find parking. Really? Merry xmas! Oh and i have short hair!!!

Mae from Eyebrow Plus recommended me to come here to get a blowout. Let me tell you, the service was amazing. I was so happy with the results and I will definitely be coming back.

This place is a mess, lemme just start off by saying that. Okay so I went in last Tuesday to make a last minute appointment for Wednesday and so I made it and i took the girl specifically what I had wanted done and made sure that she wrote it in the notes of what I wanted done.
So I go in Wednesday morning and they DIDN’T have the grey or blue that they were supposed to color my hair with! When I told the girl the day before that I wanted grey roots fading into a silver baby blue. And Gina (the one who ends up doing my hair) says to me «the company doesn’t have the grey», at this point; I was so weary about getting my hair done at all by them. So I stepped outside to call ulta to see if they had had any last minute openings (unfortunately they didn’t). So I decided to just have this place do my hair.
So I sat down in the chair and Gina started applying the bleach to my hair. And she let it sit for like 30 minutes and then she washed my hair and the bleach didn’t take to certain parts of my roots and she asked me «why didn’t your roots take the bleach? That’s so weird!» And I’m just sitting in the chair thinking, «how am I supposed to know? You’re the one that went to cosmetology school.» But I didn’t say anything. So she went over the roots again with the bleach, oh and she didn’t even get my hair to platinum; it was totally brassy and I asked her if my hair would take the blue like in the picture I showed her of how I wanted the color to be and she said yeah. Well it didn’t. My hair looks so gross now. I wish I would’ve never sat down in that chair and decided to go through with it. Pictures to come!

I didn’t have a service here, but upon walk in I got a weird vibe from the workers. I asked if they had a brochure for heir services I could take with me, but they didn’t have one. No biggie. They proceeded by asking if I wanted any services done today and when I said I was just asking for future reference, they gave me a dirty look and walked away. Regardless of whether they were going to make money off of me or not, they should treat everyone with he same respect.

Well I called to make an appointment with Richard today and he is no longer there… going back to the Dry Bar at Santana Row or Los Gatos.

Only if I could give them zero star! True meaning of being unprofessional! Here’s my terrible experience at iDry Bar;
My appt was at 3 pm on Saturday for a classic blow dry. Got to the mall at 2:40, but could not find a parking spot! Called them at 2:55 and let them know that I was at the mall parking, looking for a spot, and was going to be 5 minutes late. She said that was fine. Got to the store at 3:05, finding that she has sat another person instead of me, and told me i was going to be next! … After 45 minutes, Anjelica washed my hair with freezing cold water, and started working on my hair. It was the lousiest job I have ever seen! My five year old niece could have done a better job of blow drying my hair. The combination of freezing cold water and low heat setting of the blow dryer left me with a big frizzy unfinished lousy hair! I complained, of course, and a guy (manager I think) came out of the back and told me to wait. I waited, for another 40 minutes, then another girl re-​did the blow dry. Still not a good job, but at that point I was too frustrated, exhausted, disappointed and late for the dinner party, to complain again. I left with my frizzy hair thinking I was sooo going to flat iron it the second I got home.
