Le Blowout Bar, Lake Forest

Being a self-proclaimed "blowout junkie," Michelle Frankovich Gramza knew exactly what she wanted her salon to be like. Within a chic and sophisticated space, she dreamed of giving each client a personalized experience, along with a hairstyle that lasts.

And it only takes one trip to Le Blowout Bar to see that Michelle's vision come to life. In a cleanly designed space, white vinyl chairs cradle clients as stylists become acquainted with them and their hair. Along white shelves, turquoise bottles of Moroccanoil products promise smooth locks and optimal results from services, including:

• Blowouts: This signature service comes in four specific styles that range from straight and smooth to big and fabulous.
• Braids: Available with or without a wash and a dry, this service gives clients a timeless, low-maintenance hairstyle.
• Keratin treatments tame frizz by filling in sparse, damaged cuticles, giving clients smooth and manageable hair for up to five months.
