Miami Monday….Shortcut to Fabulous Deal at Blo-Mary Brickell Village

So remember a few weeks ago when I told you about my new favorite place…Blo Blow Dry bar. Well, the Mary Brickell Village location is having a fabulous sale from January 17, 2012 until January 20, 2012. Here is the deal…if you start a Blo tab you get 8 Blow dries for the Price of 6. That is a $70 dollar savings…if you don’t get in on this deal you are crazy! You can call or drop in to start your Blo tab. Tel: 305.374.2565.

Oh and they will apply winks by Georgie false lashes for you for $5! They sell the compacts in the bar and the lashes are reusable. If that is not a Shortcut to Fabulous, I don’t know what is!

Miami Monday…Shortcut to Fabulous Hair for the Holidays and Beyond….

A blow dry for $35 in Miami? One that is actually good? Yes, it really does exist at Blo in Mary Brickell Village. Blo has been open for about 2 months now and I have been your little guinea pig testing out a few different styles to see if Blo is worth the hype. The space is gorgeous, super clean and makes you feel like a total “It Girl.” The staff and stylists are friendly, but have a very “New York, let’s get the job done” kind of work ethic that is so hard to find here in Miami.

I love the fact that every time I have been they have given me a great blow dry and cut out the chitter-chatter amongst themselves that drives me bonkers. You know what I am talking about…the two stylists in the station next to each other, holding their blowdryers and brushes mid-air or mid-hair, chatting while you sit there fumbling wondering when they are going to stop talking about where they buy their groceries….grrr!Well, I have yet to experience that here and I have to say I LOVE it!

Now onto the hair, they have a fab hair menu with different styles to choose from. Click here to check it out….and yes all of these styles are $35! I have gotten several styles including the Hunt Club and the Holly Would pictured here and each time I have left the bar happy. So ladies, this is your new shortcut to fabulous hair. After being spoiled in New York with Blow Dry bars, Miami has finally arrived, and I for one am super thankful! Don’t forget to follow the Brickell location on twitter @HairF0rce0ne
