Business Innovation and Tapping into the Entrepreneurial Spirit
Named to Fast Company’s “100 Most Creative People in Business,” Fortune’s “40 Under 40” list, Inc.’s “100 Women Building America’s Most Innovative and Ambitious Businesses,” and much more, Drybar’s Alli Webb knows what it takes to constantly innovate to keep a business relevant, useful, and resonating with its customer base.
A former professional hair stylist, the concept for Drybar started after Webb started her own family, and began offering affordable in-home blowout services to her mommy friends. Launching with just a sole California location, Drybar has exploded into a nationally-recognized and highly sought-after brand with over 100 locations nationwide and line of products and tools sold at popular retailers such as Nordstrom, Sephora, and Ulta.
In these insightful and empowering remarks, Webb shares her secrets to constant business innovation, and tactical insights into business growth, customer engagement, and cultural relevance.
Drawing on her profound first-hand experiences as well as lessons learned from her entrepreneur-focused podcast “Raising the Bar,” Webb shares what it takes to risk everything on a great idea, and to tap into the constantly-innovating entrepreneurial spirit.
Identifying, Building and Expanding Your Company’s Core Values
Alli Webb’s Drybar has a cult-like following, with consumers knowing exactly what to expect and the kind of experience they will receive whether they’re walking into a location in Manhattan, Los Angeles, or any one of Drybar’s 150 locations.
In this actionable and informative conversation, Alli Webb shares her best tips and advice about building a company culture that is relevant, authentic, works for your employees, and that consumers trust.
Drawing on her first-hand experiences expanding a successful business nationwide, working with franchisees, launching a product line, and hiring a CEO, Webb provides both tactical insights and bold inspiration that organizations can start implementing tomorrow.

In these empowering and candid remarks, she shares her advice, tips, and motivations, providing audiences with both practical lessons and big picture inspiration.
From breaking free of “mom guilt,” to pushing through doubts and insecurities, cultivating a support system, and handling the critics, Webb opens up about her own triumphs and struggles juggling a family and growing a nationally-recognized business.
From starting out driving around to her mommy-friend’s houses, offering at home blowouts, to writing a New York Times bestselling book, launching a podcast, and starting yet another business, Webb’s career trajectory is anything but typical. Her remarks are chock-full of engaging personal anecdotes, and first-hand business lessons, that leave audiences empowered and informed.

Alli Webb is the co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Drybar, the nation’s leading blow dry bar offering customers no hair cuts and no hair color, just professional blow outs at an affordable price. After leaving the hair care workforce in 2005 to start a family, Alli looked for an opportunity to continue pursuing the creative side of hairstyling that fit into the pace of her life as a new mom and began offering weekly in-home blowout services to her friends.
What she intended as a small side business quickly grew into much more than a part-time gig: Alli’s business exploded through word-of-mouth referrals, which led to her decision to open her first physical Drybar location in the Brentwood, Los Angeles neighborhood in 2010.
Since that time, Alli has worked with her brother and co-Founder, Michael Landau, to open an additional 37 Drybar locations throughout California, Arizona, Massachusetts, Texas, New York, Illinois, Georgia, and Washington D.C. As Chief Creative Officer.
Alli Webb continues to oversee the hiring and training of more than 2,200 stylists across the country, and leads the development of Drybar’s line of styling products and tools. Alli lives in Tustin, California, with her husband and two young sons.
Staying true to her signature approach to beauty and self-care, Squeeze follows suit in the affordable luxury space as an innovative massage concept that lets you book, set personalized preference, pay, tip, rate and review all on their proprietary iPhone app.
Squeeze is the latest extension of her expanding empire where she operates as an active angel investor, advisor and co-founder. Squeeze’s first location is in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Studio City and has since opened additional locations across the country with several more set to open in the next year.

Both ladies share a passion for beautiful, affordable luxuries that don’t break the bank.
