Everyday is a gloriously great hair day when you step into the @TheDryBar
Yesterday was my big 25th Birthday! Er...uhm....okay more like 37th but who's counting, right? As someone who has never made a big deal about my own birthday well, of course I booked myself on a makeup gig like it was any other work day. Me, turn down a great photoshoot just because i'm turning 25 again? Of course not! But I did have some time in the morning all to myself so I decided to finally check out what all the crazy buzz has been about and experience Dry Bar for myself! Luckily I live near the Fashion Island salon in Newport Beach and made an appointment just 2 days before with no problem at all snagging a spot in my small window of free time.
So what is the Dry Bar? It's a salon that only does one thing and does it extremely well. No cuts, no color...just fabulous Blow Outs! How ingenius is that? There's a menu of cleverly named hair styles that you can choose from or you can customize your own style and mix and match the styles to your liking. Best of all the price is amazing! It's just $35! There's also a few add-on's which you can choose from if you'd like. I went with "The Floater" which for $10 you get 10 minutes of the most fabulous scalp massage. It was seriously better than some 90 minute full body massages i've gotten before! If you need extra relaxation, stress release or have a headache this will be the best $10 you've ever spent!
The interior is my fave white on white on white girly glam with splashes of their signature yellow including the chandelier made out of blow dryers.
While you're getting your hair gorgeousfied you can enjoy a mimosa or another drink of your choice while you watch a chick flick on the flat screen. I caught the tail end of Valentine's Day followed by Sweet Home Alabama.
Here I am in the middle of the Blow Out with big round brushes in my hair kept in like rollers until they cooled. Great technique to create voluminous soft curls.
And voila! My fabulous stylist Melissa who I absolutely loved! I want her to do my hair every day!
The rear view...
Almost as important as great makeup (and hair!) is great lighting. I found more flattering lighting for picture taking inside the dressing room at BEBE. See what a difference lighting makes! My bags are magically gone! And yes, that will be the subject of my next blog/vlog now that i'm the proud owner of my very own Glamcor Lights!
So what do you think? Leave me a comment pretty please with glitter on top! Thank you Dry Bar Fashion Island/Newport Beach for an amazing first experience and gorgeous blow out! I will be back for many more!! I'm totally obsessed! Check out their website at theDryBar.com for a location near you! Yes, they are all over & not just in So Cal! Muah! xoxo!
