Needed a last minute blow out to make the trip. Thomas was amazing. So personable. Such a great experience. When I return to Napa, I will definitely return here.

Wow! Didn't know what to expect for a small, boutique blow dry bar. But it's in Napa, so I should've known it would have to be amazing. Kassandra (I think that's how she spelled her name) did an amazing job on my hair. One of the best hair stylings I've ever had. She cleaned my hair really thoroughly (she washed it twice and took her time. I'm on day 3 of this blow out and it still looks great!), and took her time to dry and curl it.She even pinned back a piece of my hair that always get in my eyes. She pinned it perfectly, and it looked great the entire day for photos. So glad I came here and took the time to get my hair done! The other women in the salon who worked there were also really kind, and gave me a restaurant recommendation to Bistro Don Giovanni (didn't make it this time, but I'm going to visit another time for sure). I would come back here on my next trip to Napa if we stay downtown again. Thank you so much.

They were able to fit me in at the last minute for a blowout. One of the best! My stylist Thomas was terrific and so fun to chat with. Make sure you add on the 10 min scalp massage, it was heavenly. When back in Napa I’ll definitely visit them again.Service: Blowouts

They had me crying my eyes out on my special day. I showed a picture of what I wanted thinking it's easy updo, they cant mess it up... I thought she could manage my curly hair. No, that was not the the case. I left with a frizzy head, uneven puff on the top of my head and mess in the back. It was nothing like I asked. I was frighten when I looked in the mirror and was in so much shock. My friend who had straight hair came before and her hair looked like a mess after getting it styled as well. I could not believe have poor their quality was. I took my hair entirely out before leaving the parking lot because I couldn't bare to look at it. I am so disappointed, will never go back again, want a refund and do not recommend this place.

I managed to get in at short notice so was happy I could be accommodated. The staff are lovely and the young lady who cut my hair did a great job. Highly recommend.

I'm very happy with the work done by Brittany D. She made me feel very relaxed and beautiful with a blowout. She's very friendly and made me feel more than a client! She understood the style I was going for and executed it. I'm definitely going to go back again for a trim! Thank you again!

Maylena Rose did my hair and makeup for my daughter's rehearsal dinner. The salon was on time, very clean. Cute classy salon and everyone in the shop was friendly. Maylena listened to what I wanted and she did a fantastic job. When I got back to the hotel, my friends were raving about my makeup. She blended it to match my in between cool/warm skin tone. And my hair stayed in all night and was exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend this salon and Maylena Rose!

This was my first time here. I came a little early for my appointment and they were very busy. They told me to come back in 20 minutes and that was 5 minutes after my appointment. I would have never came earlier if I knew I couldn't wait there. The stylist was nice and accommodating but she didn't do what I wanted but that's ok. I will go again and see what the next experience is an update this.

very disappointing experience... we had reservations for the French Laundry, and wanted curls and volume I left with straight hair ( my hair is very curly ) and wanted spiral curls. I think they were skimping on the products because my hair was just frizzy by the end of the night! my sisters was flat, and our friends hair fell out by the end of the night I caled to complain and was given a refund for my hair however, it was a once in a lifetime experience and was hoping for fabulous hair!

I want to start off by saying everyone I interacted with at the salon was very kind and accommodating and offered to comp the services in the end (I declined) but what matters most is the quality of the service and that’s where my experience fell short. There were 4 of us who came in to get hair done and makeup done for our best friends wedding. For my hair I was looking for a simple blow out, curled out a bit at the ends. While I definitely have very thick and long hair it’s not textured or dyed or anything that might make it very difficult to work with but my stylist was unable to blow it out. To keep things short, it was without a doubt the worst blow dry I have ever gotten (including from non professionals) and the stylist herself seemed to agree (when she also admitted the roots were still very wet 45+ minutes later). She ended up having to flatiron my whole head to make it look presentable and we had to scratch my vision of any curls. It also took almost 2 full hours to end up with straight, boring hair and no time to do my makeup. My friends even had to re straighten a lot of it back at the hotel because there were so many layers that were still wavy.I went in hoping to have beautiful hair and makeup for my friends wedding and while my other friends had positive experiences, I seem to have gotten the least experienced of the bunch and left with a hairstyle I didn’t want and a bare face. Certainly put a damper on the day. I think the take away here is if you do use them, make sure youKnow which stylists you’re getting because the range in ability seems to be massive.Again, she was sweet and apologetic but just wasn’t able to provide the service I was looking for.

I have been coming to Whirlwind for about 4yrs. During that time I've had multiple stylists blowout my hair. Let me begin by saying I have thick, bleached , textured ethnic hair which is difficult to work with if this isn't your regular clientele. From day one I have not been disappointed. Of course some stylists are more experienced than others with my hair type but I've never once in four years left unsatisfied. That's super impressive for the New Yorker in me to say. Alana has been doing my hair for about 50-60% of the time I've been coming here and I am so lucky to have found her. I tell her almost every time I see her . (There were some other fabulous stylists but they have since left as this is the nature of the beauty world.) Alana understands the needs of my hair and works with me to make sure she's achieving the look I want. The salon is gorgeous, the vibe is fun and every person deserves to step into this stellar place and feel like a star when they leave. Thank you so much to Stacie and her amazing staff for keeping me at my best!

I loved this place! My daughter and I came here to do our hair for a party, and the hair stylists rocked it! They knew how to do their job. They were nice and had a fun conversation while they were working. They also worked fast, and their prices were super affordable.
