Do you get your hair blown out a lot? If so...

How much do you pay?

About $35-$45 before tip.  Depends which stylist.

$40 + tip. I do it every time I go to NY for work at Dry Bar.

TX-Bride

It's $35+ tip at Drybar in Dallas, they recommend $10 tip on the little signs they have but I personally think that's a lot for a 30 min service! That's almost 30% tip!!!! I go with the usual 15-20% depending how much I like the outcome.

I've only been once - to the one in NYC and it took them an hour to blow out my hair which I thought was a long time.

What' the point of paying that much for a blow out? I mean, it only lasts a couple of days until you wash your hair, right?? Maybe i'm just not aware of the awesomeness of a good blow out...

I don't do it on the regular...but if I had the money I think I would...I'm awful at hair.

The cheapest I have paid is $20 froma gal at an inexpensive salon. I would go to her more but she takes 90 min! I went to Dry Bar for the first time a few weeks ago. I liked it and am owing again this Sat. They on,y took 45 min (my hair takes time). And they curled it so I was happy. 

Its not cheap but they do a much better job than I do and with 2 small kids it is hard for me to spend that much time under a dryer in my own home.

 

I usually only do for nits out, parties, and special occasions.

I don't get it either.  I can do my own straight blowout in 20mins.

I get the package at dry bar 3 blowouts for $100. I have a ton of hair and it usually takes them 1.5 hours ( I have it curled). So worth it to me. I wish I could do it weekly but only do it for special occasions. I guess if you have really easy hair you might not seem worth it.

SaraKathryn

Thanks!  I love getting them, my hair just looks so much better after a blowout.  I was wondering what the avg was.  I wish I had a dry-bar near me.  Around me the prices range from 35-55 so I guess about average. 

I only do them for special occasions.

$50 plus tip. Totally worth it though since my hair is really long and thick, and they do a much better job of styling it than I can do.  I get it blown out for special occassions, and I love how relaxing my salon is. They always include free drinks and a scalp massage.

But not everyone can do their own straight blowout... I couldn't do one to save my life.  I've only been to the Dry Bar once (I plan on going back again soon, though) but it's an experience.  I love getting my hair washed, they do that for you and you can get an extra scalp massage for a few bucks extra.  They play fun movies and give you complimentary champagne or other fun drinks.  It's a way to relax and when I went with some of my friends with was fun.

$50 plus tip.  I will do this for special occasions.  Bless you all that can do your hair as nice as a stylist.  I can't- and having a blow out makes a huge difference.  I sort of look like another person.  I usually go to my salon for blow-outs and they know me.  One time I did not- went just for a mani.  The person checking me out at the end looked at my name and told me they didn't recognize me (my hair wasn't done).  LOL.

wash, blowout, and flat iron for 24 plus tip.

I have thick/long hair that takes forever sometimes (although I've gotten really good at doing it myself)

The first two times I had a blow out, I spent $40-50 and it looked so "meh". They would try touching up the ends with a curler and it would flip out weird.  I was very upset about it.  My friends would say, "how could someone ruin a blowout?"

I now found an amazing places that charges $25 and they use about 10 brushes while doing your hair (use them like curlers) and my hair has amazing volume and shine.  It probably lasts about 5 days (even with running and my workout classes). I also have women constantly stop me and ask me about me hair whenever I go to that place.  They are pretty amazing.  Small price to pay IMO.
