The perfect blowout may seem like a fantasy. Whether you’re competing with weather conditions or a packed schedule, getting photo-ready hair at home can be nearly impossible. So, consider getting pampered instead. These metro Detroit blowout services allow you to skip the dramatics and relax while receiving high-quality salon care at an affordable price.
Aqua Salon
Located in downtown Royal Oak, Aqua salon offers a blowout “Happy Hour.” From 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, customers can get their hair blown out for just $25. This classic blowout adds just the right amount of volume, while maintaining a polished, smooth look. The salon’s most convenient offer is to have a stylist come directly to clients, Julia Nicolaou, owner of Aqua Salon, says. “This saves the hassle of arranging a babysitting and worrying about parking.” 111 W. Fourth St., Royal Oak; 248-541-4247; salonaqua.com

6 Salon
This award-winning salon offers quality blowouts at both of its locations (and eventually at the in-the-works Detroit shop). “To us, it’s about so much more than just blow-drying the hair,” George Nikollaj, owner of 6 Salon, says. “The client relationship is so important when you’re giving the perfect blowout. Just because someone has hair doesn’t mean you can use the same products on everyone.” The salon analyzes each customers hair, creating a truly customized blowout experience. 306 W. Sixth St., Royal Oak; 248-398-1586; and 180 S. Old Woodward, Birmingham; 248-282-5600; sixsalon.com
Drybar

Blo Blow Dry Bar
“Every person, no matter their age, gender, race, or economic background, feels beautiful after a good blowout,” says Nicole Ashley, “Head Miss Tress” at Blo Birmingham. “On any given day at the salon, we have the privilege of knowing that we helped prep a bride for her wedding, glammed up a mom hosting a shower, or just made a Wednesday a little lovelier.” The salon, which also has a location in Detroit, offers blowouts starting at $40. Add on a 10-minute head massage for some extra pampering. 555 S. Old Woodward Ave., Birmingham; 248-731-7373; and 1500 Washington Blvd., Detroit; 313-315-3071; blomedry.com
