What is the Drybar? Never heard of it!

According to its website, Drybar embraces looking good and feeling good about yourself. This Californian-based salon motivates people to have confidence in their hair and life. At Drybar, the objective is to "focus on one thing and be the best at it. For us, that’s blowouts. With that purpose in mind, we are focused on giving each and every client the premier blowout experience while providing professional-quality products and tools to better help our clients achieve and maintain the perfect blowout at home."

Whatever happened to Drybar when it first opened in Sioux Falls?

I remember when the shop opened in September of 2023, Sioux Falls was really excited about this unique studio. Suddenly, the Drybar locations in Sioux Falls and Rapid City announced they were closing their doors. This shocking announcement came without warning in April of 2024. That's less than a year after opening.

In the original story, officials with Sioux Falls Drybar shared a heartbreaking Facebook post explaining to their loyal customers that the sudden closure is due to "unforeseen circumstances." Fast forward to a happier Facebook message earlier this summer, Sioux Falls Drybar announced its comeback and employment opportunities under new ownership.

After a few "teases" and "straightening" all the details, Drybar officially opened on Friday, September 12th.

Ten chairs are inside the salon with "Bar Flies" waiting to give you the Drybar Signature Styles like "The Cosmo," "The Manhattan," or "The Old Fashioned."

Kim Hoffman-Perez recently told me her goal is to bring new life to the Sioux Falls Drybar. Just like her Waxing The City and Sun Tan City storefronts across the Sioux Empire, she wants her customers at Drybar to look and feel their best.
