Need to turn a bad hair day around in an hour or less? The blow-out makes tresses fab in any climate. Concerned about waking up to crunchy and unruly hair? No problem, get a blow-out. Hair need a little TLC? A blow-out should do the trick.
About 15 years ago, the blow-out (or blow-dry) started to take root in major cities across the country. Today, it’s the one service that tops just about all others for its ability to make hair pretty while getting superb salon treatment. We’ve created a fully comprehensive guide to salons throughout Chicago offering style sanctuary through signature blow-out service.
Definition of blow-out/blow-dry service
A professional blow dry service is time dedicated to making your hair reach a certain style potential. The service lasts between 30-55 minutes depending on the issues addressed and desired style. The style lasts longer than 24 hours due to the styling methods and professional products used.
Types of blow-outs
Don’t know what to ask for? Most salons have a signature blow-dry service. There are a few popular blow-outs, including for curly hair, wavy hair, and for straight hair. Most blow-outs last between three-six days. Get to know the salon’s signature service and ask for it by name!
What are you getting when you pay for a blow-out service?
A professional service includes the application of shampoo, conditioner, and other products to address hair texture, weather conditions, or a specified result. You’ll get a finished look, which means you’re ready to greet the world with your hair looking its best. You’ll also get advice on how to best take care of your hair when you’re at home. Ask your stylist questions that will enhance your personal appearance. They’re there to help you achieve your ultimate ‘do.
When does one get a blow-out or blow-dry service?
To prepare for your selfie marathon, or before a wedding, professional presentation, or special occasion. Or if you simply want to explore a new look. They’re especially great for staving off unruly hair from humidity. You can’t control the weather, but you can control how your hair combats it.
