What You'll Get
When mothers first sprinkle a baby’s bald head with water and fertilizers, they can only guess how the ensuing hair will grow. Today’s Groupon lets new clients take control of their own wild threads: for $150, you get a Brazilian blowout and 20% off all Aveda-brand products (up to a $400 value, depending on the length of your hair) at Blu Salon and Aveda Stör, which is located on the Promenade at the Westfield Santa Anita. This deal also entitles you to a 20% discount on any services on your second visit to the salon.
Similar to the system used to prepare a Snickers bar for interstellar travel, a 90-minute Brazilian blowout coats each shaft of your hair in a nutrient-rich layer of protective protein goodness, eliminating frizz and smoothing cuticles. A skilled stylist will then blow-dry and flat-iron your locks, re-proteinize, rinse, and blow-dry again. Free of harsh chemicals, your new, smooth and lovely radiance lasts up to 12 weeks and can be washed and dried without dulling damage. Best of all, you'll cut your blow-dry time in half and need less hair product to achieve your usual luscious results.
Blowouts are popular for any kind of hair and can restore elasticity and softness to even the most stressed-out strands. Where a wrathful head octopus once suction-cupped stray scissors and cotton candy, a waterfall of must-be-touched feminine allure will cascade into place after the treatment. To add a touch of relaxation to the beatification, clients will receive a complimentary cup of tea upon arrival and a hand, neck, and scalp massage and foot soak during the treatment.
By appointment only. Good for both new and existing clients.
Reviews
Insider Pagers give Blu an average of four stars, and Yelpers give it a 3.5-star average:
- One of the best salons I've ever been to. Everyone's really friendly and attentive. The stylists really know what they're doing and they really listen to what you want. They also have a great line of products! – Jamie C., Insider Pages
- We discussed my fears and she began with a confidence that I haven't experienced yet from a stylist. My hair problems are just a few. Is it damage or dryness that tangle the shit out of my hair? is it that my hair is too fine? Am I even using the right products?? Aveda Shampure and Brilliant Conditioner are staples in my shower. She recommended a few extra things and Voila!! – Joie P., Yelp

About BLU Salon Aveda
The team of stylists at BLU—which stands for "beauty living united"—have drawn on deep industry knowledge and skills to craft styles that suit each customer's personality. Alternatively, its team of aestheticians apply the same principles to their skin care practices. Here, they pamper clients with facial services that invigorate and rejuvenate, helping each one discover the meaning of eternal beauty. At the same time, both the spa and the salon take a humble approach and an attitude of lifelong learning of all skin and hair services.
Using organic marshmallow-root-infused conditioners and shampoos that emanate natural aromas, stylists render hair sleek in preparation for the everyday or special occasions, such as job interviews in wind tunnels. All hair trimming, coloring, and styling services also start and conclude with an additional relaxation treatment, such as a hand massage or a makeup touchup. Aestheticians soothe fitful skin with natural facial peels, smooth rough skin with botanical-based microdermabrasion treatments, and erase wrinkles by applying a layer of high-school yearbook photos.
Guided by socially conscious principles for more than 30 years, Aveda produces a full line of natural beauty products carried at nearly 7,000 salons and spas. Popular gorgeous-makers such as Shampure shampoo and witch-hazel hair spray deliver on Aveda's commitment to well-rounded earthly beauty with eco-friendly packaging cradling ingredients derived from the world's finest and least selfish plants.
