Read on for more about what we know about the closure of Hoboken’s DryBar.
About Drybar
The blowout bar concept was created by Alli Webb, a professional hairstylist trained by Toni + Guy, who in 2008 had started a side hustle called “Straight-at-Home” where she did in-home blowouts for friends. She decided to realize her dream and took the concept to a salon, which would later become Drybar.

The salon offers no color or cuts, just blowouts and some styles. The business takes the ‘bar’ concept from top to bottom, with products named after drinks and hairstyles named after cocktails. Customers get a ‘menu’ with different hairstyles to choose from. The hairstylists are called Bartenders and the membership program for customers is called Barfly.
