Just because you’re always on the go, doesn’t mean you have to forego glitz and glam. Located in a pristine Ladue shopping center is Blown Away, the state-of-the-art and totally trendy “blow-dry bar.”

If you’ve ever moaned and groaned about having to apply your makeup and style your hair, you’re not alone. Blown Away offers a solution to your stresses. Blown Away is not your ordinary hair salon. Highly qualified stylists tame and treat your tresses. There are six signature “blow-out” styles (a blow-out is a hairstyle done professionally that typically lasts for about 2-3 days). All of the blow-outs cost $35, and they range from beautiful beach-y waves to sleek, straight styles. If you’re wanting a little extra TLC, you’re in luck. Blown Away offers ten minute scalp massages and deep conditioning treatments. Other than the blow-outs, the salon offers hair-braiding, dry hair styling (no wash included), and the coveted Keratin treatment– it keeps your hair soft and silky for up to 6 weeks.

If you’re wanting even more beautification, in addition to your hair, you’ve come to the right place. Blown Away offers a “kiss and makeup bar.” The estheticians can apply makeup to your entire face for $35, apply eye-makeup for $20 and polish off a look with a signature air-brush.

Blown Away truly takes glitz and glam to the next level. Not only can they perfect your look, but they can help you to host an event that your gal pals are sure to gush about. Whether it be a birthday party, a bachelorette party, or just a simple girl’s night out, Blown Away has got you covered. They allow you to have food catered to the salon as well.

Blown Away has something for women of all ages, no matter the occasion. The working woman can enjoy the Early-Bird Special and get gussied up before heading to the office. The senior citizen can go from “Grandma” to “GLAM-ma” with special treatments and discounts. For the bride, Blown Away sends a mobile team to makeover you and your girls on your special day. There are even services for the little ones; Mommy-and-Me makeovers are a huge hit, and tykes can even bring in their American Girl Dolls and have them styled.

Through and through, Blown Away is a relaxing, revitalizing, and regal locale unlike any other salon. Women can de-stress and look their best as they are pampered and primped like princesses. With a variety of fine amenities, and a tranquil atmosphere to boot, Blown Away stays true to it’s name. You’ll be blown away.
