And now, express blowdry

MANILA, Philippines - It may surprise most men out there, but those ladies who go to work every day with great-looking hair often wake up early in the morning to spend at least half an hour working on their tresses. It is not a joke, especially for women with curly, frizzy hair who have to blowdry, brush, and iron to tame their locks. Great hair takes a lot of work, time, and strong arm muscles.

But with Express Blowdry at Salon Beauvoir, gorgeous and carefree hair by an expert can be had in half an hour and at an affordable price.

Having polished and blown-out hair is akin to having a great outfit. It can set the tone for the day and women look and feel great when they get a blowdry. Since the service doesn’t take too much time, women can come in and out any time they are free or for those times when one just has to feel groomed and pampered, think of it as a quick mani-pedi fix.

Inspired by the trend of blowdry bars in the US and Australia, Salon Beauvoir has included the Express Blowdry as part of their extensive menu of services. The Express Blowdry includes a quick wash and blow dry that is done within an average of 30 minutes and is good for all types of hair. It offers four hairstyles — Signature, Straight, Sexy and Glam — for whatever mood and tone a woman wants to project for the day.

The Signature style is straightforward great hair with body at the ends for everyday elegance. Straight, think Gwyneth Paltrow, sleek and polished, and effortlessly chic. The Sexy blowdry, just-out-of-bed hair with great body and loose curls, while the Glam style for is perfect for partyphiles.

Salon Beauvoir opens at 8 a.m. Wash and blow dry for short to medium length is priced at only P250 for short hair and P350 for long hair.
