Creeping my work neighborhood……has worked out in my favor!
I had an event last week, a social outing-right after work. No way I could style my hair in the morning, work the entire day and then head off to this event. I wanted a fresh style-something pretty & voluminous.
Sure I walked by the blowdry lounge at least a hundred times. I noticed it was busy, sure I did….I looked at the website. But after going to another blo dry bar chain and being fairly to moderately disappointed on a consistent basis (I won’t mention the name but I’ll give you a hint, the name of the disappointment rhymes with ‘Flo’), I was hesitant to give this place a shot.
I am SO glad I did!
First impressions? Fabulous. Decor-pretty, clean, simple. blow dry lounge has a RECEPTIONIST. Yes, ONE person dedicated to scheduling, payment processing, inquiries. I breathe a sigh of relief here-how many times I had to wait for one of the stylists to stop drying a client’s hair, to assist me with scheduling. How many times was an appointment forgotten or overbooked upon my arrival? More than one. But that’s the OTHER blow dry bars….not blow dry lounge. The atmosphere is friendly-not pretentious or stuffy.
My stylist consulted with me briefly about what I wanted. She was friendly, polite, quick and efficient. Then she started working her magic. And it was quite magical! She knows how to style….the shampoo, the product, the technique-perfect-o! She gave me the full brush blow dry (head full of bushes!).
Just in case you are wondering, here’s a photo of me at the event. I don’t like the photo for other reasons but my hair is incredible!
I also popped over again for another blow dry-this time a bit more sleek. I had a wonderful experience and my hair stayed frizz free for almost 3 days! YAY! Again, not my favorite picture of myself, but check my hair (and the 2 beauties next to me).
And how about for up-styles? Blow-dry lounge has got you covered, as evidenced by my LATEST trip:
I highly recommend blow dry lounge for your styling needs. They also offer haircuts AND threading (which I’ll be trying out soon).
blowdry lounge is located at 1343 Yonge Street in Toronto. Find pricing information and hours here.
