Drybar








No cuts. No color. Just blowouts. That's the concept behind Drybar. Genius, right? How many times have I procrastinated on the dreaded blow dry and wished I could have someone else do it for me? Well, now I can! And that's exactly what I did on Friday afternoon. Their menu ranges from the Manhattan (Sleek and Smooth) to the Southern Comfort (lots of volume) and everything in between. I went with the Mai Tai (messy and beachy) mostly because this is the one style I can never quite get right when doing my own hair. I left feeling energized and ready for my night out with the girls. If I'm not careful, this could definitely become my newest guilty pleasure.

Allright, I admit you look beautiful here, but you always look beautiful! I guess maybe I don't quite understand the concept since I don't have any hair.

melissa said...

OMG, that is this lazy girl's dream come true! But it would be a nightmare for my bank account! What a great concept!

torrie said...

Your hair looks beautiful! How fun to have this done right before your night out too. I have never heard of a dry bar, but this would be the perfect gift for a friend... have it done together, and then go out & have some fun!

Legs said...

I really wish they had this in DC! You're gorgeous!!

Jamie said...

Bren and I had a Drybar date back in May and I blogged about it. That place is the BOMB!! I was addicted for awhile, I had to shut myself off!!! Really great for when you have somewhere to go though!

OH how fun! I've heard about this! Where is it at?

PursuitOfLLT said...

I love these kinds of places! There's a great one in Chicago called Blo-Dri and I swear by it. If I could I'd be there daily! They also do more jazzy stuff like for weddings etc. I had them do my hair for halloween last year with my medusa headband and it was so fun!

Annie said...
