About Drybar

Step into the world of Drybar, where Alli Webb’s vision took flight with the inauguration of the inaugural Drybar in the vibrant Brentwood, CA, back in 2010.

What They Offer

Drybar is an innovative concept that has captivated the nation.

Their tagline encapsulates their essence perfectly: “No cuts. No color. Just blowouts.” Drybar provides salon-quality blowouts in an environment that seamlessly combines fun and beauty, creating an exceptional experience at an incredible value.
