Blow, the Ultimate Blow Dry Bar Experience (and More!)

by


[the blow products]

[Julia “before”]

Don’t you just love a good transformation? I certainly can appreciate one! I recently went to blow, the New York blow dry bar, to review for a complimentary blow out session, and I can relay that on all fronts, it certainly exceeded my expectations. Paired with the congenial and extremely talented Gregory Patterson, I found out that blow, although the purveyor of the blow dry bar, offers a full line of services from blow outs (prices range from $40-$60), styling, cutting, color, treatments, and is a celebrity favorite.

[Julia “after”]

Gregory got right away a look in mind that would give me a boost, while still maintaining ‘me.’  End result? A much needed improvement — and trust me, I am picky about my hair alterations (I just took the scissors into my own hands and fixed a bang trim that was not up to par!).

The experience: my hair was first prepped via a thoroughly relaxing and ever-so-slightly aroma-ed wash, then back to the station for blow drying, some light curling, and a dash of products for body, texture, and hold. Blow also offers a full line of  blow products, and naturally, the one that most caught my eye was the faux dry dry shampoo ($20), a finely milled concoction that you puff in spurts into your hair, completely free of the stickiness of sprays. Gregory used this on my coif, as it adds texture to even clean hair, as well as a touch of beach blow texturizing mist, blow up thickening mist,  mane tame soft pomade, and blow out serious non-stick hair spray.

The wrap-up: thumbs up to Gregory for a magnificent job,  bonus points for having the service last only an hour, and two blow Manhattan locations to best serve your hair needs is super convenient, with walk-ins welcome!

Shop Your Closet: Black Cardigan (CollegeCandy Guest Post)

by

[When moving into either a dorm or an off-campus apartment, your wardrobe will face two major challenges: 1. A major lack of funding (to add more to it), and 2. A major lack of storage space (for all the crap you’ve got). For these two reasons, maximizing what you already own becomes essential. That’s why you need to learn to Shop Your Closet. Each week, I’ll show you how to wear 1 item 3 ways – with the stuff you most likely already own! – to get the most out of your purchases.]

One thing I’m sure you everyone owns is a black cardigan. It’s definitely an essential item for the college girl – it goes with anything, is easy to wear, is perfect for layering when going from a cold classroom to a steamy library, and doesn’t show the dirt that’s accumulated since your last laundry day….3 weeks ago.

As it gets closer to Thanksgiving you might be putting off laundry, in hopes that your parents will help you with the garbage bag full of dirty clothes you bring home. The longer you put off that trip to the laundry room, though, the harder it is to get dressed. Luckily, your black cardigan will help fill in the gaps between now and hooray-mom’s-doing-my-laundry day (or even now and next spring!), and I’ve got three outfits to help you get up, get dressed and get out of your room in style.

Thank you, god of black cardigans!

Outfit 1: With Basics

Cardigan, Tee, Jeans, Boots, Scarf

No matter how high the laundry pile gets, you can probably find at least one t-shirt that is clean (enter: smell test). Toss on a t-shirt, a pair of jeans and your everyday boots with your cardigan and you’re all ready to head out. Add personality to this casual look by adding a scarf or statement necklace into the mix.
