What exactly is a salon blowout?

It’s not just that they blow-dry your hair, they style it, usually with a round brush, to create volume and curves that just flipping your head upside down and blowing it dry at home normally doesn’t do. Also, it would be a cold day in hell that I paid $55 for someone to blow dry my hair. Styling or not.

I think you may be misinterpreting what they mean by blowout.

We have a tire company that offers annual Tire Blowouts. That means they are having a sale that blows their normal pricing out the window.

I thought it meant to wash and dry/style your hair.

A “blowout” itself is defined by this website as “styling your hair with a round brush as you blow it dry.” (This is generally how it is done, but a blowout can be completed in a variety of ways.)

However, scheduling a blowout at a salon includes the washing, the application of products, the styling- essentially, the whole process. It’s usually done for special occasions. And if you’re at a good salon, the stylist will list the products used and will generally try to give you a basic idea of how you can replicate the look yourself in a home setting. The link I provided also lists “home versions” of the processes that a professional salon will generally go through during a blowout, if you’re interested.

@WestRiverrat No, she has the right idea. It’s a salon term.
