Joyfully Yours

The world's largest blow dry bar chain, Blo Blow Dry Bar, has finally open its doors here in Manila, particularly at the Basement of Rockwell Powerplant Mall! Enjoy beautiful hair on your bad hair days for just 30-45mins of Blo. It's just perfect that they've opened before Valentine's for those girls who would like to look good on Valentine's day to drop by before going to their dates. Want to try "The Blo Concept: No Cuts, No Color. Just Wash, Blow, Go" and get top tresses that will bring out the beauty in you? Come take a tour of my visit on its opening day! :)



THE INTERIORS 

That's Rose, my blo-er. :)

The stations. Yes, guys can go to Blo too and have beautiful hair!

The waiting area for the guys who do not want to be pampered. =P

THE COCKTAILSThey served salty and sweet finger foods which are perfect to munch while having your hair done. Aside from the serving size, the food also matched the theme of the place: pink, white and a bit of chocolates to bring more sweetness to the aura of Blo!

White French Macaroons, Chocolate Truffles with "blo hearts you" print, Red Velvet Cupcakes

Heart-shaped Chocolate Truffles, Pink Macaroons, White Macaroons

Pink lemonade and Rose wines

Did you notice there's 3 Audrey Hepburn's images around the place? As the icon of beauty and femininity, Audrey Hepburn seems to be a reminder of every girl stepping into Blo that you too can become like her just by having the right hair style like her famous coif!

HAIR MENU & TOOLS
The hair styles which I've feature on my previous blog are offered for only P500! They even have a "grad blo out" for those who would like to have their hair done for graduation or prom at the special price of P500! Custom dos are also accepted for a charge of P950. Take a peek at the other services they offer and the tools that they use to bring out a girl's beauty!

THE SERVICE I GOT: "HUNT CLUB: THE PERFECT PONY"
Since I had my hair curled a few years ago, I wanted a new look so I've chosen this look. The clean polished look that spells girly, serious but feminine as inspired by Audrey Hepburn's posters around the place.

The service starts with getting your hair washed using Tridesign shampoo & conditioner.

Here I am having my hair washed! (Thanks to my handy & dependable Canon Ixus 980IS for this & other mirror shots!)

The scalp massage which is very relaxing!

Hair spray for hair protection according to my blo-er.

My hair being blow dried by 2 blo-ers: Hana (L) and Rose (R)! How luxurious can I get? Happily pampered at this moment, just look at my smile and their smiles! =D

And it's done!

Since I was inspired by Audrey Hepburn for this look, does this look show my beauty and femininity?

The clean polished look that spells girly, serious but feminine accomplished by Blo with this hair style! Agree? :)
 
BLO BRO
My fiance was waiting for me while I was having my hair done. As you can see on my photos above, I had a really wonderful time which made him very curious on being pampered by Blo so my blo-er, Hana, and I have persuaded him to try "Blo Bro" which is hair grooming for men who want to be pampered and to look good after. According to Hana, he is the first guy customer and the first guy who have bravely tried "Blo Bro!" Check out what happened below! ;)

More scalp massage which he enjoyed (look at that shy smile!) and even his blo-er was enjoying the moment!

Voila!!! And that's Blo Bro!

Do you know that Blo Rockwell is the very first Blo Blow Dry Bar that opened in Asia? To ensure the quality of the service, there were 2 stylists from America that was flew in to train the Filipino blo-ers which is a total of 16 blo-ers where 8 will be in Rockwell and the other 8 will be in the Serendra branch (which opened last Feb 10).

So what can you say about my first time at Blo? I definitely had a wonderful, luxurious and relaxing time! It was a transformation from my regular hairdo. I'm sure I'll be going back again to be pampered and to be transformed!

Blo is now open in Rockwell and Serendra. For more details, check out their Facebook page "bloheartasia" or their Twitter @bloheartasia. I'm sure you'll enjoy their pampering services and say goodbye to bad hair days! ;)

After opening in 26 locations around United States and Canada, Blo Blow Dry Bar, is opening soon in Manila at 2 different locations: Blo Rockwell and Blo Serendra!

Blo Blow Dry Bar is the world's largest blow dry bar chain that is the first to market no cuts, no color concept in North America with its first bar which opened on June 2007.


Having beautiful hair is a part of every woman's desire however, there are lots of times that you can't control when you're going to have a bad hair day. The most devastating of all is when you're having your passport photo taken on a bad hair day! You'll have that picture for years to remind you of how you look like on a bad hair day. Just look at this picture:

My ID picture back in the 80s

Yes, you're right! That's a reminder of a bad hair day. I think every woman is familiar with tying their hair into a ponytail or bun whenever you wake up with your hair all frizzy and going to different directions. It's quite frustrating! Look at that tiny ponytail at the back! Good thing I was a cute kid (please don't argue with me on this! :P) so somehow people can forgive that hair going to all directions.

Answering the call of every woman's desire to have beautiful hair, Blo Rockwell is opening on February 8, 2013 and Blo Serendra is opening on February 10, 2013! Filipinas who want to have top-notch tresses can get affordable, catwalk-quality hair for only PhP500. Blo opens as early as 7am so you can fix a bad hair day just before going to school or work.

Sounds interesting? I want to try them out and feel pretty for a day but before visiting them, I have checked out their website blomedry.com and take a look at some of the services they offer:

Red Carpet: This classic blo out will make the paparazzi snap. Smooth tresses with lots of body and gentle arcs toward the neckline. Monroe at her heartbreaking best. A must-do for cocktails or an espresso- induced shopping spree.

Executive Sweet: We're talking skyscraper straight. Our best irons are on the case. This hair means business and is de rigueur for the power meeting, the "time for a raise" talk or a boardroom presentation.

Hunt Club: The perfect pony. Every little girl dreamed of getting one for her birthday and this time you get exactly what you ask for. A polished look for an impromptu polo match or just because.

High Society: This coif is guaranteed to get you whatever you want. How do we explain? A high altitude tornado tamed to perfection. Channel your inner Hepburn for Breakfast at Tiffany's. The perfect accompaniment to a little black dress (sigh).

Which one do you like most? Just by looking at these services, I'm already confused on which one to try first. We'll see when I'm already there. :)

Aside from the above services, Blo will also be offering its signature "Blo on the Go" and "Blo Bridal" services - Blo's top session stylists will deliver flawless hair in-bar or wherever curl-power is desired or required, 24/7. Walk ins are accepted and online reservations are also available.

Blo Rockwell Bar will be located at Stall #019 P1 Level, Power Plant Mall, Rockwell Center, Makati City, Philippines. Blo Serendra Bar will be located at 2-CO1A 2/F, Serendra, Fort Bonifacio, Global City, Taguig, Philippines. You may contact them at +63917-6-BloDry (256379), blorockwell@blomedry.com or bloserendra@blomedry.com.

Are you excited? 'Cause I already am! You can book now and maybe we'll see each other there! ;)
