What is a Blowout? What is a Dry Bar?

Explore the Benefits of Blowouts

Curious about blowouts and dry bars? Hair requires some sort of styling and volume to look its best, which is where blowouts and dry bars come in. Nothing can make you feel as instantly fabulous as a blowout!

What is a blowout?

What is a blowout?

Blowouts are a popular salon service that involve drying your hair after a wash for a smooth and sleek style without using a flat iron. With a blowout, you can see and feel the difference with shiny, glossy, and smooth hair. Blowouts are also an easy way to add volume to your hair, giving it a full, bouncy look that lasts for days.

At BloGo Salon, we offer a variety of blowout options to suit your preferences. Our signature Blo Outs can be straight, beachy and messy, voluminous, curly, or any other style you prefer. Our experienced stylists will work with you to achieve your desired look and help you feel confident and ready to take on the day.

How long does a blowout take?

A blowout takes roughly between 45-60 minutes but time may vary depending on your desired results.

What is a dry bar?

Dry bars are hair salons that specialize in blowouts, with or without a haircut. They are a convenient way to get your hair professionally styled almost any day or time, without having to book a full-service appointment. Some blow dry bars are also full service hair salons offering other services such as cut and color, hair treatments, or extensions.

Something about just-styled hair boosts confidence and makes you feel ready to take on the world. But beyond the obvious benefits of having perfectly styled hair—and saving time in the morning—there are other advantages to adding blowouts to your beauty routine.

5 Benefits of Blowouts

  1. Results that Last. A good blowout will last you two or three days, and a great blowout may last you four or five days. You don’t have to style your hair every day, and you don’t have to worry about damaging your hair by over-styling. Plus, a style that lasts means your don’t have to wake up early to fix your hair every day!

  2. All the Right Angles. It’s hard to reach the back of your head with a brush in one hand and a blow dryer in the other. At a blow dry bar, you get a stylist who can reach every strand of hair on your head, so you don’t have to worry about only having half a hair-do. And your seemingly-difficult hair is no match for a stylist who has been trained to tame even the toughest tresses! So you don’t have to worry about a thing: just sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience.

  3. Stress Relief. Scalp massages have the same benefits as regular massages: they help you relax and de-stress. Having someone shampoo and massage your scalp stimulates circulation and releases endorphins, aka the chemicals in your brain that make you feel happy! Getting a blowout can be a relaxing and pampering experience, giving you a much-needed break from the stresses of everyday life.

  4. Getting Social. Going to a salon is a social event, and the same goes for a salon devoted to the blow dry. You get to socialize with your stylist and your friends, or you can make new friends! A healthy social life is essential for a happy, healthy you, and a blow dry bar gives you a whole new place to get out and enjoy a good conversation.

  5. Feeling Your Best. Let’s be honest, perfectly styled hair just makes you feel great! The scalp massage has relaxed you and your talk with your stylist has perked you up; every hair is in place, and you feel fantastic! After a trip to the blow dry bar, you feel fresh and put together and ready to take on the world.

On average, you can make a blowout last anywhere from 3-5 days. With more textured hair the number of days can multiply, and with finer hair it may need a little more maintenance to last. Once you get into a regular routine with blowouts, you will find that your hair is super adaptable. We will provide you with tips on making your style last between services.

Just watch out—salon blowouts can be quite addictive!
