Ok Washington area ladies, I’ve got a fun new business to tell you about:
Have a big party to go to? Work event? Date night? We’re busy-we don’t always have time to go the salon to get our hair done. I don’t know about you but my hair always looks better when someone else blow dries it for me. I would probably get it done more often but seriously who has time for that? Enter Blow Dry Taxi a new business that sends the stylist right to your home or office and in about 30 minutes your done and your hair looks fabulous.
Blow Dry Taxi was established in June of 2014 and the owner, Sona, has a staff of 12 stylists on a rotating schedule. You can get a standard blow dry for $50 or a more elaborate up do for $85. Stylists work from 7 am to 9 pm.
I had an early Saturday event on my schedule so I decided to put the blow dry to the test. I scheduled my blow out for late Friday evening. I planned to sleep on it, wake up Saturday morning and not have to worry about doing my hair before the event. Would the blow out be able to last? I put it through the test. My daughter wanted to join the fun as well. Take a look at how it went.
We were instructed to wash our hair and have it wet and ready for the stylist. They arrived 5 minutes before our scheduled appointment. Our stylist, Can, listened to our preferences and began his work. He was able to dry and style both of us in under an hour. Blow Dry Taxi brings all the styling products with them and uses The Kerastase line.
I loved how the layers looked in the back of my hair. I then slept on it and woke up Saturday morning did a quick finger comb, added a little hair spray and I was ready to go to my event. No stress!
My little niece tried Blow Dry Taxi a few weeks later and loved it too.
Why pay a babysitter so you can go to the salon? Have the salon come to you! You can schedule online or with their App free on Itunes.
I’m thinking this would also make a great birthday party or girls night out. Sign up on their website for 10% off your first service. If you live in the Washington area suburbs, you have to try this!
What do think? Something you would use? Ever been to a Blow Dry bar?
(Disclaimer: I was given a complimentary blow dry in exchange for this review however, all opinions are my own and I will be using them again.)
Jennifer says
Deborah I can always count on you for reviewing such cool gear/services. Your hair looks great!! This would be a great alternative to the salon if you have a wedding party or even prom. I went to Dry Bar for my friends wedding and I liked it. I’ll have to keep this in mind – I am lucky my hairstylist is about 2 blocks away for a blowout.
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! Yes it is a good option if you don’t have time to go to the salon. They did a great job
Diatta @ Femme Fitale Fit Club says
Your hair came out REALLY NICE!! Convenience is worth the money oh yeah!!!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes the convenience can’t be beat and the pricing is probably less than going to a salon.
Annmarie says
Oh my this is amazing! I am usually much to busy or much to lazy to really style my own hair! I just wish they were in my area so I could use the service!
Deborah Brooks says
It’s a great idea right?!
Annmarie says
Ps. Your hair looks AMAZING!!!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks 🙂
Lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
I am very cheap when It comes to stuff like this so I think it’s a bit pricey. Although I do realize it is in the DC area so it’s probably a good deal. I like the the concept of it though.
Deborah Brooks says
I like the concept. I wouldn’t do it every week but for a party or special occasion it’s a great idea
Lena says
How AWESOME! I love this idea!
And your hair looks absolutely fabulous! Thanks for sharing.
Deborah Brooks says
It was lots of fun and mine always looks better when someone else does it for me
Chaitali says
I had no idea this was a thing! It is such a great idea and the convenience really seems worth it. Both of your hair looks wonderful.
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! yes the convenience can’t be beat and it is way less than you would pay in a salon.
Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC says
wow – so cool to read about this. you’re right this would be perfect for a girls night out or an event. thanks for sharing this!
Deborah Brooks says
I thought you would like it! They were very nice and so much better than going to a salon
Toni @runninglovingliving says
Wow that it very cool!! I wish we had a service like that where I live!!! Your hair looked great even after sleeping on it!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks it is super convenient when you have an event to go to and don’t want to spend time at the salon
Heather @ Divas Run for Bling says
Nice. I totally dig the convenience of it. Your hair totally rocked!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! The convenience factor is huge! Who wants to waste time going to the salon right!
MCM Mama says
I could never have my hair done the night before – I wake up with the scariest bed head ever.
And my favorite part of the salon experience is someone else washing my hair LOL. You look great though.
Deborah Brooks says
Don’t get me wrong-I love a good salon treatment myself but if you are in a time crunch and need to go to an event this is a great option. I think their pricing is pretty good too
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
I would be all over this if I still had long hair!! I have been to Dry Bar in Georgetown and LOVED it!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes so same idea but for you, for example, they could come while your kids were there and you wouldn’t need a sitter.
Mary Beth Jackson says
I am telling you! You big city ladies get all the cool stuff!!!! My girlfriends will tell you if I won the lottery I would hire someone to drive me around and a stylist to wash and blowdry my hair twice a week! You both looked fantastic by the way!!!
Deborah Brooks says
haha that’s what I always say about the NY and LA people. My hair always looks better when someone else dries it.
Sharon says
Wow! What a great idea! Perfect for special occasions, I wonder if this concept will expand to other areas. Your hair turned out great!!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! They have blow dry bars that just do that in a number of towns but the convenience factor can’t be beat.
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
What a great idea! I wonder if they have something like that in NYC! We have blow dry bars, where you go in just for a dry and easy style, but I haven’t heard of anything that comes to you!
Deborah Brooks says
I know there are lots of blow dry bars but that takes way more time right? I love that they come to you and you can be in a bathrobe.
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
The salon I go to has some stylists that will do a blow out for $15. While I love the idea of someone coming to my home to tame my locks, $50? Maybe for a special occasion…
Deborah Brooks says
I for sure wouldn’t do it everyday but for a special party yes. I have never heard of any salon doing it for $15 around here!
Kristy @Runaway Bridal Planner says
Wow, this is a brilliant idea!!
You guys both look great, I have long brown hair too, I never thought about having it blow dried to create long lasting waves. This is awesome I am in love with the idea of this come to you taxi service!!!!!
Deborah Brooks says
They did do a great job! The in home service can’t be beat!
Akaleistar says
This sounds awesome, and your hair looks fantastic!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! It was certainly a fun thing to do
Kay @ Kay Bueno says
This looks so awesome. I’ve been wanting to hit up a blow dry bar. I hope they start doing this in San Fran because it would make my weekends so amazingly easy.
Deborah Brooks says
I always wanted to go to dry bar too. We are just starting to get them around here but the convenience of this can’t be beat. Thanks for stopping in
rachel says
How fun. I have never been to a blow dry/out salon… but if this would save time and money! I am game to try it 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
It definitely saves a ton of time and you can have it done while your kids are home-bonus!
Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut says
Um this looks freaking amazing! I am horrible at blow drying my hair so the only time it really happens is when I’m getting my hair done. Such a good idea for a company to come to you…it’s all about convenience these days!!
Deborah Brooks says
It it isn’t it?! Mine always looks better especially in the back
