Blow Dry Bar, Houston

"It's an affordable luxury," owner Rebecca Tallerine said in a recent interview with the _Houston Chronicle_ about Blow Dry Bar. “It's like getting your nails done. It makes you feel good." Indeed, her business eschews some of the more time-intensive, costly beauty services out there in favor of ones that provide a quick escape from everyday life. With the menu ranging from simple shampoos and hydrating masks to fabulous blowouts and full makeup, it also gives clients a range of options, all designed to make them feel gorgeous.
