Loving Blow Dry Bars....

Bay Area people.....we finally have what LA and NY folks have been enjoying for a while now.

Blow dry bars! A place to walk in and out in 45 minutes with an awesome blow out for a reasonable price of $35. Whether you have a girl's night out, a hot dinner date or an important business meeting, beautifully blown out hair feels amazing.

Halo Blow Dry Bar is a great concept and in a short time has opened three locations already.

Burlingame

They offer a variety of styles of blow outs from a high volume to a sleek and straight option to a low volume with curls option so give it a try. Its fairly easy to get an appointment and costs the same amount as getting a pedicure.

As any new business, they have some issues to work out as double booking appointments or not matching the right stylist for your hair so my suggestion would be to make an appointment before you go (even though they claim to be ok with walk-ins) and if you have thick hair or anything specific in mind, mention it while making an appointment so you get matched with an appropriate stylist. Once you find a stylist you like, then stick with them for future appointments as they get familiar with your hair and can do a quick blow out.

I have found it hard to get an appointment with my regular hairdresser for a blow out as that is not their priority so I am truly happy about blow dry bars!!!!
