Blow Out Inc., New York

The stylists at Blow Out Inc. have mastered the art of the blowout and can style hair straight, voluminous, or wavy. To enhance blowouts, they can add flat-iron or curling-iron touchups for an additional fee, as well as conditioning or Moroccanoil treatments. The social-savvy salon, which bills itself as a "boutique beauty bar," occasionally offers Happy Hair Hour on Fridays and Saturdays when guests can powwow, listen to music, and sip cocktails while getting prepped for nights on the town.
