We're On "The Mentor"!

2010-12-16T15:25:00.000-08:00

When the folks at Bloomberg picked Drybar (over hundreds of others, thank you very much!) to be featured in a new show called "The Mentor" where "titan of industry" CEOs help small businesses grow, we were flattered and intrigued.

When we found out we were getting Jamba Juice CEO James White we got really excited.

It turned out to be the experience of a lifetime. I mean, how often does a new startup like us get the chance to work with a world-class CEO one-on-one?! We are so grateful to James and Bloomberg for the opportunity and all the awesome, insightful advice.

Check out the trailer for our episode below (the season finale) and be sure to tune in tonight for the real deal, 6PM Pacific, 9PM Eastern!

Vogue hearts Drybar

2010-06-26T13:40:00.000-07:00

Ok, I've just gotta brag a little about this one. Joan Juliet Buck, the former editor-in-chief of French Vogue was in town and in need of a blowout. Not knowing where to go, she called the Vogue office in New York (as one does...) and asked for a recommendation.

You guessed it. They sent her straight to Drybar!

She loved Drybar and her blowout. And we loved her. (It was also very fun to learn that Joan played Julia Child's french cooking teacher in the movie Julie & Julia!)

You're Being Followed

Looking for a great gift idea?

2009-12-13T19:53:00.000-08:00

How about a blowout at drybar!

Send all your girlfriends one of our "gift coasters" (each is good for one blowout). Singles are $35 and come in a super cute gift sleeve. Or send multiples, which come in our special "little box of blowouts" 3 for $100, 6 for $200, or pull out the big guns and splurge for a 12 pack for $350.

Happy Shopping!

PS Another rockin' gift idea is a drybar vip membership. Check out our sweet pre-opening deal!

Blowouts & Bellinis!

We are so excited as we are hoping to make special events like this a big part of our business. If you are looking for a fun and unique idea or space for an upcoming party or event, let's talk!

Announcing drybar - Brentwood lease signed!

2009-09-20T22:52:00.000-07:00

Hi. For those of you that don't know me yet, my name is Alli Webb and for the last few years I've been running a mobile blow dry business called Straight at Home. It's been so much fun and a great success! My little business has grown so much (thanks to my wonderful clients!) that now I'm opening my very own blow dry bar called drybar. The concept is simple: No cuts. No color. Just amazing blowouts for only $35 bucks. And, as of today, I will officially be doing business, and providing the same wonderful mobile blowouts, just under the Drybar name - so don't worry!

(And I just have to say... I'm beyond excited about it!)

Our first location will be in the Brentwood Gardens Plaza at San Vicente and Barrington (next to Ron Herman and across the street from Tavern).

We're working with an outstanding architecture firm in New York called Lacina Heitler and I simply could not be more excited about the plans! (I'll post some of their ideas for the space soon.)

Stay tuned for progress on construction, grand opening news + specials, as well as lots of great hair tips + tricks. I truly appreciate all of the help, feedback + encouragement everyone has given me so far, and hope you will continue to share your thoughts and ideas as we get closer to opening day.

Lots more to come....I can't wait to unveil all the unique aspects of drybar (Hint, hint, happy hour anyone?)

Here's to great hair,

Alli
