Totally Blown Away by Blow Styling Salon

I have to admit, I am pretty good with the at-home blowout. I dry my hair in sections with clips and everything! But once in awhile I like to pamper my hair and really treat it right ... so I decided to head to Blow Styling Salon, New York's answer to the perfect blowout, for the royal treatment.

From the second I stepped in, I was greeted enthusiastically and treated warmly. Everyone who works there is truly friendly and makes you feel right at home. As I waited for Yana, my hair expert of choice, I surveyed the room and saw three absolutely perfect blowouts sitting in front of me ... which I must say instilled quite a bit of confidence in me!

Once seated in front of Yana, we discussed what to do with my hair. I mentioned that I usually blow it out stick straight, so she asked if I'd like a fuller, bouncier version. I responded with an excited "Yes!" and she got right to work, washing and conditioning my hair first in the basin behind her station and even giving me a little head massage. As I watched her blowdry my hair -- in sections, using clips! -- I was truly impressed with her technique. First she would pull my locks out straight with a round brush, then began twisting and curling them around the brush and blowing the hot air ever so lightly across them. This made them have just a hint of curl and a whole lot of sexy bounciness. A few mists of shine spray and a part to the side and my hair was utterly unbelievable. Don't believe me? Here's a picture for proof!



I was totally happy and satisfied with the results ... especially when they lasted for two days!
