Parlor is the real deal
This is beyond worth joining at the premium level. Amazing events, really cool people, it’s always different and the vibe has never let me down. You basically have an instant friend group and things to do. Join NOW! Lol
Lazy and Laughable
This app markets itself as Chanel but what you get is Temu. For the low “membership” price maybe I shouldn’t be surprised, but in DC they let anyone in who pays, and the “events” are primarily things already going on in your city, just “co-hosted” by Parlor. Then they have AI write laughably cheesy event descriptions with stock photos. That’s the whole concept in a nutshell. They piggyback on to existing events, switch up the marketing with AI, and mass invite “members.”
It wouldn’t be a terrible idea if membership was actually curated for what they claim, interesting people, but in DC at least it clearly is not. They let anyone in. real estate agents, people trying to sell you something, kindergarten teachers, and massage therapists. No hate to any of those professions, it’s just not exactly the vibe they pretend to cultivate.
(They also don’t always properly vet events. One “private salon” they co-hosted in DC turned out to originally be a meetup for Libertarians.)
They do have Parlor “mixers” that they organize but every one I have been to sucked. The people were not friendly, meh venues, the vibes were off, and it was just awkward AF. I’m outgoing and friendly and had a difficult time striking up convos; I can’t imagine what it’d be like if you are even slightly introverted. Just a total waste of my time.
Cancelling.

Canceling membership
You shouldn’t need to email them to cancel your membership, especially when they have an option to upgrade your membership in the app. It is slimy.
