The Experience
After you are handed a drink, you are shown to your seat, where you leave your handbag on a little hook. You then head to the back room for your shampooing and conditioning. They also offer $10 "floaters" which are scalp massages. My only complaint of the day was that my floater wasn't long enough- but isn't that always the case?

My stylist Amanda took me back to my seat with a cutesy turban on- no gross towels here- and I was given the menu of styles to choose from. The options are all named after drinks (adorable) and are as follows:

• Straight Up (Signature Blowout with Body)
• Cosmopolitan (Loose Curls)
• Southern Comfort (Lots of Volume)
• Manhattan (Supersleek and Straight)
• Mai Tai (Messy and Beachy)
• Cosmo-Tai (Messy Curls)

I learned that Southern Comfort was the most ordered in Scottsdale so far, which seems about right. I also learned that Rose McGowan, a celebrity and partner of Drybar, always orders the Cosmo-Tai. I ruled out the Manhattan and Straight Up because my hair dries pretty much straight on its own. I settled on the Mai Tai, because I always curl and tease my own hair, but have yet to create the perfect beachy texture on myself without crunchy curls or just plain ugly waves happening. My pal Sona chose the "Southern Cosmo", a mixture of the Southern Comfort and Cosmopolitan, for volume and curls.

I sat back with my cocktail and watched the SATC movie, and put my iPhone in the charging dock that comes standard with each chair. Nothing cooler than charging your phone after a long day at work (but before a long night out).

Another note: Drybar really is a bar- the staff members are always on the other side of the counter asking you what you need and bringing you lil refills of your water or wine. Nothing could be more fun!
