Blast Blow Dry Bar

Emily blow dried and styled my hair perfectly and she was so gentle!! I nearly fell asleep I was so relaxed. Highly recommend!

It can be tricky to find a blow-dry bar for your hair if you are a minority. However, having extensions really helps, but every blow dry bar I have been to knows that any hair that does not have extensions needs to be blowdried straight and it needs to be on point. My mistake was asking for my hair curled like SJP as for my first time here, I should have stuck to the basics so that I could review then based on the blowout. As it stands, when I turned around in my chair, I had to request that my hair be brought forward and that my actual hair be curled. Needless to say I had to course correct as soon as I got home as my hair was quite frizzy and my edges were not straightened. While the curls were nice, I have worn this hairstyle a million times and it has definitely looked better. I would be willing to give them another shot, but only for a blowout. As I was sitting in the chair, I noticed another stylist named Sam doing a blowout with multiple brushes, which is what I am accustomed to having lived in Chicago for 7 years. It remains to be seen how Austin measures up.

Wow, I'm at a loss and hate to leave a one/star review but this place is just that HORRIBLE that I have to warn other (potential) victims. Sorry for being dramatic! But I've sat on writing this review for some time now and I'm still bothered by it. As other guests will see their reviews are mixed and somewhat outdated -- unfortunately, I learned afterward that their five-star reviews are for some stylist's that no longer work there. Clients have been (literally) burnt with curling irons and well their customer service is nonexistent. I should have known better but I was in a pinch and visited them with an open mind. I mean everyone can have a bad day, right? And some people can be unreasonable when writing reviews. I just needed a blowout (wash + style) and my go-to blow dry bar was booked (poor planning on my part, I'll admit). I decided on the "curl me up" style -- the shampoo was decent and my stylist was friendly enough but what was horrifying is when I witnessed my stylist pull a brush from her station drawer that wasn't clean...in fact it had someone else's hair still on it! I had to ask if she was really going to use that brush on me!? I also noticed that the other stylist wasn't cleaning their brushes after their clients -- I guess this is what they do here but it's seriously disgusting and pretty sure a health code violation of some sort. I'm all about supporting local but I will never be okay with subpar cleanliness -- there is just no excuse for this! Lessoned learned. Will not return.

These ladies are magicians. They saved my wedding. Hair and makeup for 8. Super fast. Fun to be around. Easy to work with.

Just had a blow out with Eden and my hair looks phenomenal! I normally get a blow out on vacation so I don’t have to fuss with my hair and I am so glad I stopped here to get my hair done! Cute spot, too. Will def come back next time I’m in town! 🥂
