It's Magic [A review]!

The other day while purchasing a new striped black tank (are we surprised? no) the wonderfully happy tatted up lady wished me a magical rest of the day. I sort of shook it off and went on with my shopping (read: I hit up Dairy Queen). Magical, magical, magical, I kept thinking...no really. It is way too underrated of a word and that can bring spirits up so high. Truthfully from that moment on, I think I've looked at all things both extremely magic and not so wizard-like with a "+1".
When I think of magical..I think of a happy place/thing...which is what Blo/Out is. If you're in the city visiting a friend, a company trip, or even a local with a case of much needed stress relieving...you better take my recommendation into consideration. Luckily, within a 50+ mile radius of my home, I have a Blo/Out location ready to take my appointment (via phone or online)! Before this past trip to the beautiful castle (read: Old City area), I had a chance to check out the one in Rittenhouse Square.

The Washington Square location is exactly what a dry bar should be...relaxation...mimosas...champaign...girlie movies on loop...and the wonderful color palette we all love and adore(and probably put on our Myspace/Xanga/AOL instant messenger profiles at one point or another). Can you say "hello, beautiful"?  I went sans partner-in-crime but saw the happiest group of ladies leaving satisfied, giggling, and picking the perfect filter for their latest instagram update. Cue C1 on VSCOcam...my personal favorite.

My personal favorite 'blo' away touch is the lifespan of my locks...fit for a queen! Each time I've gone I've been able to get at least TWO days out of my hair. How? Ask for lots of volume and curls. I was so happy when leaving my Blo/Out appointment for my hair is FINALLY *somehow* getting back to my natural color. What's their secret?!
The treatment, the hospitality of the staff, *the coffee/drinks*, the cleanliness of each store (trust me, it's spotless) and the feeling you get after you leave? Comparable to strutting your stuff like theirs no tomorrow. The streets of Philly are YOUR runway/catwalk. 

Blo/Out has different styles to chose from (such cute up do's) AND will feature you on their instagram. I mean, you tell me something cooler than that. Call up Pitbull because shawty's fire burning on the dance floor!

Wether you're testing a new style for an upcoming date, or just want to feel truly MAGICAL, you better be booking your appointment with Blo/Out bar. STAT. 


Note: Ask for Jen! Highly reccomended. Great customer service.

  6. I want to get a blowout so bad, but I worry that because my hair is shorter it wouldn't be as fulfilling. At the very least, Rittenhouse is so close by I'll probably cave.

  7. I got my hair braided at a blowout bar in Columbus, but never got it washed and styled!! I'll have to search and see if there is one near me now. Your hair looks great!
