I recently had my very first Blowout at The Drybar and oh my heavens I am in love! I visited the new location in St. Louis and I am hooked.
So what is a Blowout?
You may have heard the term “Blowout” and be wondering what is the heck is this? Trust me, a year ago I was just as clueless as you may be. A blowout is an art of drying hair after a wash to achieve a smooth and sleek look, style and feel.
Why Drybar Blowout is a must
A blow dry bar is a hair salon that only does blowouts. Wash, blow dry and hair styling. No Cuts, No Color, Just Blowouts! But at Drybar, it’s much more than that. It’s an experience that you must try at least once. Trust me!
Once you arrive your stylist will take you a room to shampoo and condition your hair. They usually ask if you want your hair shampooed once or twice. Next, they will add conditioner to your hair. I love All of the Drybar products. I already use them daily at home. They not only smell amazing, but they also work! After your hair is clean it’s time to head back to the chair for your blowout.
Complimentary Drink
At the DryBar you will be pampered by your stylist from start to finish. You get to relax while watching a chick flick. You will receive a complimentary drink of your choice. Mimosas, champagne, wine, tea, coffee or water. I am sure you can guess what I went with. Champagne of course.
The Style
Next, you will look at the Look Book to choose what hairstyle you want. The styles are named after drinks that include the Old Fashioned, the Straight Up, the Manhattan, the Cosmo, the Mai Tai, the Cosmo-Tai, the Southern Comfort, the Dirty Martini, the Uptini, and the Shirley Temple. How fun is this?!
The Cost and Menu
Most Blowouts are $45 depending on the location. There are also add on’s like braids, hair masks, and scalp massage.
Next, the blowout begins. I chose curlers to help give my hair with volume which is something I told my stylist I wanted.
I went with the Cosmo/Cosmo Tai. You can explain the look you are wanting and your stylist can help you achieve that look.
While your stylist is making you beautiful, you get to relax and sip on your cocktail or choice of drink and watch a chick flick. Father of the Bride was playing while I was there.
My Favorite Products I use daily
My Final Look
I can’t even express how happy I am with my results. I walked out of the Drybar feeling like Beyoncé. You know what I am talking about. The best thing is my blowout lasted 4 days.

I have never tried a drybar as I have short fine hair. It would be amazing to try and seeing how beautiful your finished product looks, makes me really want to give it go. Hope I’m chosen!!
I have always wanted to try a blowout and would love to try it for the first time at Dry Bar….I love their shampoos.
It looks beautiful! I have never been to a dry bar or had a blowout…so hoping I’m a winner to give it a try.. looks very relaxing too,
I’ve never been fortunate enough to go to a drybar. My hair is baby fine and I’d love to get some curls locked in. I’m getting married soon so it would be amazing if I could try a drybar and find a style for the wedding!!! Thanks so much for the opportunity~ YOU ROCK!!!
I’ve never been but would love to try this before a date night or even a wedding.
Heck yes! I love Dry Bar! They are so fun! I have only been a couple times, but now I want to get the membership!! Thanks for explaining it! Your hair looks amazing!
I have never been to a dry bar. I have shorter hair so I just assumed it wasn’t something they did. It sounds amazing! I do have naturally curly/wavy hair that i straighten everyday so a blow out that lasts for days would be amazing!!
I have never been but I definitely want to now! I love the monthly subscription! Definitely looking into this!
Thanks for the giveaway! XO
Beautiful! And I’ve never been to a DryBar or gotten a blow out before!
I have never been to a dry bar but it sounds wonderful.
I have never been but since I’m in the process of growing my hair out, this would be a great opportunity to something new.
I love the new Drybar in Frontenac!!! Kelsey is the absolute best and my blowouts last for days!!! I wish I could go every week!
I walked past the dry bar in Charleston , SC and of course had to peek in , looked so fun and amazing I really want to try with my daughter who is 21 , love the styling you get on your visits.
I have never been but it sounds wonderful!
I’ve never had one hunt that look like fun! And relaxing too 🙂
I have never been to a Drybar but would love to try one. I have naturally curly hair that takes me way to long to straighten. Having my hair straightened and it lasting for several days would be awesome!
I have never been…but there is one fairly close to me. I would absolutely love to try it!
I have never been to a dry bar. I have heard of them but never understood what it was. I’m a boy mom so I’m used to T-shirt’s and shorts and not getting all gussied up. It sounds like the perfect pampering session!
I have never heard of a dry bar til I seen your video of you going in to have your hair done! I think it would be a neat experience and a much needed pampering day for a gal like me! lol
I have never been to a blow dry bar but was thinking of going for my birthday next month. I LOVE getting my hair blow dried at the salon.
I have never been to a drybar but I know that when a professional styles my hair it usually stays looking and feeling nice for 2-3 days. With naturally curly hair it is a chore to keep one style. I would love to be pampered so thanks for thinking of all your fans with this giveaway.
I have enjoyed seeing the dry bar process you’ve documented and would love to try it. I try to not wash my hair daily but my hair is thin and I’m not always able to skip a wash. It sounds amazing that you can typically go four days with a style. I’ll definitely try to check out a dry bar soon. Thank you for everything you share!
I love your hair, and a four day style is amazing! I’ve never been to a Drybar but would certainly love the opportunity. Thanks for the chance!
I never knew that a dry bar blowout allows you to get shampooed and conditioned along with the actual styling. My sister and I are looking for a new place to get our hair done for when our brother gets married. We will keep these tips in mind as we search for a professional that can help us out.
I’ve been to a drybar once but it wasn’t as nice as this one. I love the looks book you highlighted that shows different ways the style could look! They seem more expensive than I would think. If I got a cut or a color touch up, it would cost the same and comes with the free wash and style. I guess the dry bar is better at styling? That does seem to be the downfall at salons. I recently broke my elbow and can’t wash my hair and came across your article looking for a drybar near me. However, I wish there was a cheaper way to get my hair washed weekly until I’m healed.
