Blow In Blow Out

I had an amazing blow out here but a horrific experience with makeup! The artist didn’t listen to what I said I wanted to look like. For starters, I told him that the makeup was being done for my bridal shower, so he knew it was for a very important and special day in my life. I said I wanted to look like myself and I don’t usually wear a TON of makeup. Next thing I knew there were layers of different colored shadows that were nothing close to what I said I usually wear, two different lengths of VERY obviously false lashes and foundation that was so heavy, I felt like a clown. I’ve had my makeup done many times (I was in 5 weddings last year) and I know that I can still look like myself, and feel comfortable with appropriate makeup and lashes applied, which is what made this experience such a disappointing one. Needless to say, I went home after my appointment and took off my entire face of makeup and ended up redoing it myself!

I have to say I was not too impressed. Arlyn however was very nice and chatted me up about what I wanted. I told her I was going to a wedding and she knew what I wanted, movement, not too curly etc… I was literally there for 20 minutes and I was 5 min late and it was not crowded. When I asked for more volume she gave me a bit more and told me what I could then do at home to re-​create the look. I was prepared for an hour appointment and actually have a hair style. This was literally someone blowing out my hair which was fine but no style, very weird from what I have experienced at my blow out bars in Dallas. I guess I will be even more vocal than I was while sitting in the chair have realized not all blow out bars are created equally.

I really, really wanted to like this place… but it was a very negative experience about 2 weeks ago at the Westfield location. My warning should have been the three girls that left with subpar hair (some of the pieces still wet — what?) I was told that it would take 45 minutes. After waiting 15 minutes past my appointment, the stylist was VERY slow… taking her time, singing, and chatting with the other girls… even though I told her I had to be out to pick up my kids from school before going to an event. It took an hour and 15 minutes and looked BAD… I told her I wasn’t happy and there was zero concern. I ended up going home and doing it myself. There were no apologies and the two girls were very rude. They also complained about having to work there and the appointments they had the rest of the day. I will be going back to Guillotine for a blow dry when I need one next.

I went to the Westfield location yesterday and had a really nice experience. Jillian greeted me with a warm smile and a big hello as soon as I opened the door. Then she checked me in and took me back to wash my hair right away. I liked that I didn’t have to wait at all for my appointment. I got there on time and they saw me on time. Jillian sat me down and asked me what kind of style I was looking for and she was concerned that my event was much later on in the evening so she went above and beyond to make sure my curls would last. After a full night of dancing and having fun, my hair still looks great. Even after sleeping on it, I don’t look like something the cat dragged in. Sadly, the day I went was Jillians last day but she assured me that I would be happy with any of the stylists for my future appointments. I’ve already booked my next appointment for a few weeks from now for another wedding I’ll be attending. The price is reasonable. $ 35 for quality service. Just a note, they don’t take tips on credit. Tips can be left in cash only. Go here! You’ll love your hair!

Great blow outs and a decent price. Very clean place, friendly staff and their Westfield location is great.

Blow in Blow Out has been the best part of my To-​Do list. My schedule calls for always being on-​the-​Go and this fits into my day-​to-​day all too perfectly. The staff is a pleasure, the atmosphere is gorgeous, and most importantly — my hair always looks great. Ask for Jillian at the Westfield location!

Love this place. So convenient and reasonable rates for a blowout/​style. Always happy when I leave here with each stylist. very friendly and accommodating. Wish they would open more locations!

As a preface, I have thick, long hair that doesn’t usually like to hold a curl. Lacey did a great job of giving me volume and tons of curls (exactly what I asked for!) when I had my hair blown out for a wedding. Everyone said I looked like a movie star, I’ll definitely be going back soon!

My sis and I got blowouts here yesterday and loved our stylists and hair. They were friendly, cared about what look we wanted, and efficient (wash and blow was complete within 45 minutes). Would definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking to get a blowout.

I got my hair done by Lauren for a wedding and it ended up being perfect. I have very thick straight hair so I was concerned about getting a blow out to begin with. The last time I even attempted curls my hair went straight in about an hour. I decided on the «Jersey Girl» because I wanted something very fun for the long dress I was wearing. Lauren worked her magic and my hair was curly from Saturday 3pm– the next day. I loved it! I cannot rave about how amazing she was.
Everything is so easy from booking and paying online to managing appointments. I will be coming back for sure!

There is so much to love about this place! The ease of scheduling online. Sunday appointments (and rumor has it, soon to be the elusive Monday appointments!). Early AM appointments. They will keep your credit card on file so there is no hold up when it’s time to checkout. iPads with magazines provided to customers (not sure what the person who said she wasn’t offered anything to read is talking about-​I have been here several times and each time everyone in the salon is offered one of several iPads). The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. Simply a great salon!

I have to preface this review by revealing that I’m a Dry Bar fan. That said, this place is pretty unique for the downtown Summit area. I decided to get my hair blown out for a segment I was taping so I went online to make an appointment. You have to pay for the appointment when you make it online, so I waited until morning when I could call and make an appointment. I was able to make an appointment that suited me the day before I needed it, which was nice. I know they are a relatively new business and I’d seen pictures of their grand opening online, so I was excited to go.
Of course it was humid and raining when I got there, so the stylist had her work cut out for her. I also have long, thick hair, which doesn’t hold a curl so there’s that too. There were four employees there and I was the only customer. I was seated immediately with my stylist for a consultation. There are six or so styles you can pick from, but I opted to let her do what she thought was best after hearing what I was looking for. I was offered tea or water, I declined, and was taken back to get my hair washed. The shampoo smelled great and the head massage was quite relaxing.
I was then taken to my stylist’s chair where the blow out began. Sitting in a chair for 45 minutes with nothing to look at is a tad boring, and unfortunately it gives you ample opportunity to stare at the facility. I noticed quite a bunch of dust (we’re talking about some major dust bunnies) under the couch that two of the employees were sitting on. I also noticed dust and hair on the floor under the station in front of me. Generally I’d assume that hair and dust would be on the floor, but I was the first appointment of the day so I think it was a safe assumption to think the place had been cleaned the night before or that morning, so there shouldn’t have been any noticeable dust. Also until half way through my appointment there were three employees sitting around who could have grabbed a broom at any time and swept up. There was also a hair in the bowl of black, white, and pink gum balls they had on the counter (which may have been for decoration… the gum, not the hair). I didn’t want any gum, but that was really gross to look at. If it was this unkept in the front of the store, who knows what things look like in the back… Yuck!
The stylist was very nice and frankly gave me the best blow out I’ve ever had. I told her to use a lot of hairspray because my hair doesn’t hold well. She sprayed it and told me that the blow out would last two days. I certainly didn’t expect that it would stay for two days, but I hoped it would stay for an hour or two. Within 45 minutes my hair was 90% flat. Boo! If I was in the area I may try them again, but I’d bring my own spray and a magazine to keep my eyes busy while the stylist worked!

The team at BIBO is great. Shirley did a great job on my hair even though I didn’t have a photo or provide much direction other than «soft and wavy.» Ashley’s makeup skills completely transformed me from overtired & blah to flawless and fabulous. The place is stylish and clean, and the services reasonable, especially for those of us accustomed to NYC prices! I will be back!

27 minutes total! Don’t waste your time, money, or energy. The only reason this place gets one star is because it was at least clean. I have been having my hair done for 25+ years and NEVER has it been done in less than 40 minutes. The hair at the back of my neck wasn’t even wet, nevermind clean after my «wash». Was told I was «all set» before my hair was fully dry and needed to ask to have my hair flat ironed which should be implied when you ask for a straight and sleek style. Once the iron was luke warm, it made through the back of my head, never making it to the front or sides. Horrible horrible service. Went home and had to spend the time to do it over. What a waste.

I’ve been to this salon three times, with another appointment scheduled for next week. I’m always greeted by my first name and immediately taken care of; if I have had to wait, I enjoy sitting in their cozy and elegant waiting area, whilst perusing the trendiest magazines via the iPads they supply for you during your visit.
I’ve had two different blow outs, and loved them both; one was simply blowing out my shoulder-​length hair, and one was a difficult side-​bun (difficult because of the length of my hair). I love the side-​bun so much I’ll be getting it a third time!
I also appreciate the expediency of the treatment; as a mom to two young daughters, I can rarely get an hour to myself, so I appreciate that I am in and out of there in about 45 minutes.
I’ll be going back every time I want to look fabulous.

Everyone here was so nice. I left feeling great and looking awesome! Jill was such a sweetheart and constantly checked with me to make sure I was happy with how my hair looked. I got lots of compliments after and my hair feels so soft and silky smooth!
