About this service
What blowout includes at our Bay City salons
A blowout is a wash + blow dry + style service designed to give hair a smooth, polished look without cutting or coloring. Most walk-in chains offer blowouts in length-tiered pricing: short, medium, long, and extra-long. The service typically includes a clarifying or volumizing shampoo (your choice), a conditioner appropriate for your hair type, then a sectioned blow dry using a round brush for body and lift. A finishing pass with a flat iron or curling iron adds smoothness or curl. Most blowouts last 24-72 hours depending on hair type and local climate humidity.
A blowout takes 30-60 minutes. The stylist starts with a consultation about your style goal — sleek-and-straight, soft-waved, voluminous, or bouncy curls. After shampoo and conditioner, the hair is sectioned and dried section-by-section using a round brush for body. The drying phase takes 20-30 minutes for medium hair, longer for extra-long. A finishing pass with a flat iron, curling iron, or wand adds the final shape. Many guests add a finishing spray or hold product for extra longevity.

Before your appointment
- Come in unwashed if you want maximum hold (clean hair shampoos out faster)
- Bring a photo of the style — "wavy" means different things to different stylists
- Plan to keep the style dry overnight for maximum longevity
After your service
- Sleep on silk or satin pillowcases — cotton frays the style
- Use a wide-tooth comb to refresh the next day, not a brush
- Shower cap if showering before the style is past its prime
- Dry shampoo can extend a blowout by 1-2 days
