A total five star experience ...I noted a mention in the Business section of the Post and Courier two weeks ago that Wax in the City and Blo Blow Dry Bar was scheduled to open on Houston Northcutt (a few door down from Whole Foods Market) ... and that during the Grand Opening Week would be offering $25 Blow-outs (regularly $40) on their signature styles.  I checked out their Facebook and web pages, Yelp reviews in other cities and decided to check them out.  The business model is simple ... wash and Blowdry among seven signature styles ... no color, no cut.  This worked for me!  While walk-ins would be welcome, I wanted to assure an appointment during this fabulous promotion and was pleased that I could make an appointment online.  Within two minutes, I received a text confirmation and I was good to go.  I was warmly greeted at check-in, offered water and had an opportunity to chat with Jeremy, the owner of both businesses.  I couldn't help but notice that every inch of space is well used  ... filled with many stations ... and an ample number of wash basins.  Kristie, my kick-butt, stylist (and manager) was ready for me at the appointed time.  We discussed the style (simple bob) and my hair type ... thick, coarse, dry ... and my regime ... which I sheepishly admitted total reliance on frizz control products and dependency (or rather, at the mercy and availability) on two stylists, who knew how to work with my hair.  She explained the products she would be using from Unite ... all good ... and we proceeded back to the wash basin.  The chair was oh, so comfortable and I relaxed through two marvelous shampoos and  a conditioning that had a fragrance reminiscent of Life Savers Butter Rum.  We headed back to Kristie's station (yes, this chair was comfortable, too) and Kristie worked her magic.  Throughout the blow-out, our conversation was lively and comfortable ... as if I had known her for years. (BTW, she has 20 years experience working with hair.) The time seemed to fly by and in 40 minutes, I was walking out the door.  My hair not only looked fabulous but felt fabulous, too.  A full line of Unite hair care products are available for purchase but I did not need anything today.  I understand that styles with extensions are also available with a different price structure.I love Blo Blow Dry Bar ... I will be back.  Check it out ... you'll be pleased! Read Less
