Is a Blowdry Membership Worth It?
By Bella Garcia · · 5 min read
If you already book blowouts a couple of times a month, a membership can lower what you pay per visit and take the guesswork out of planning. Here’s exactly what each tier includes, what it doesn’t, and how to tell whether the numbers work for you.
What’s included in each tier
- Tier 1 — $104/month: 2 blowdry services a month, any style of choice. 1 unused blowdry can roll over to the next month.
- Tier 2 — $208/month: 4 blowouts a month, any style of choice, plus 1 scalp treatment add-on. 1 unused blowout can roll over to the next month.
Both tiers also come in an extensions version, covered below. In every tier, Hollywood waves and updo styling are an additional charge, so if you want one of those for an event, ask us for pricing when you book.
Do the math
A single wash + blowdry is $65 on our menu. Tier 1 covers two of those visits each month for $104, which comes out lower than booking them one at a time. Tier 2 brings the cost of each blowout down further and adds a scalp treatment, which on its own is $35. A simple rule: if you’re in the chair at least twice a month, Tier 1 likely saves you money; if you’re in weekly, Tier 2 usually does.
Who it’s a good fit for
- People with a standing reason to look put together, like client meetings, on-camera work, or a weekly date night
- Anyone with extensions who wants them washed and dried carefully instead of wrestling with them at home
- Clients trying to cut back on daily hot tools, since a fresh blowout every few days means less flat ironing in between
- Thick or long hair that takes an hour or more to blowdry yourself
How a blowdry membership works, step by step
- Pick your tier. Choose Tier 1 or Tier 2 based on how often you like a fresh blowout, and choose the extensions version if you wear extensions.
- Book your visits. Use the BOOK button on our site to schedule each blowout when it suits you. Each visit is a wash and blowdry in any style you like, from sleek and straight to big, bouncy volume.
- Use or roll over. In both tiers, one unused blowout carries into the next month. Anything beyond that one doesn’t carry over.
- Add extras when you want. Tier 2 includes a scalp treatment add-on each month, which can be added to one of your blowout visits. Hollywood waves, updos and other menu services are booked and priced separately.
If you have questions about billing or scheduling for your situation, ask us how membership billing works and we’ll walk you through it.
The math with extensions
Extensions take more time and care to wash and dry, so they’re priced higher. A single wash + blowdry with extensions is $85. The Tier 1 extensions membership is $144 for two visits a month, and the Tier 2 extensions membership is $288 for four visits plus the scalp treatment add-on. Rollover works the same way: one unused blowout per month. Our extension care routine for between visits covers brushing, sleeping and washing at home.
Tier 1 or Tier 2: which is right for you?
Choose Tier 1 if you like a blowout for a couple of key moments each month, such as a work presentation and a weekend event. It keeps you polished without committing to a weekly visit.
Choose Tier 2 if you want your hair done roughly once a week, or if your scalp gets oily or itchy and you’d actually use the monthly scalp treatment. That treatment includes a scalp analysis, pre-wash conditioning, cleanse, massage, steam and a custom mask, and here’s what a regular scalp treatment can do for your hair.
When a membership might not be the best fit
If you only get a blowout once a month or less, a membership may not save you much. Two lower-cost options:
- The Friday blowdry special — $45, Fridays only. You get a wash and a blowdry styled however you like, minus Hollywood waves and updos; bring extensions and there’s an extra charge.
- A quickdry — $45 for about 40 mins. There’s no wash; you come in with hair wet or dry and we blowdry or style it.
You can start with those and switch to a membership once you see how often you come in. Not sure which drying service fits your hair? Here’s when a quickdry makes more sense than a full blowout.
Getting the most out of your membership
- Book ahead. Before holidays, graduations and wedding season, popular times go first, so schedule your month’s visits early. Booking online shows you every open slot for the weeks ahead.
- Space your visits. On Tier 2, booking about every seven days keeps your hair fresh most of the month. On Tier 1, try roughly every two weeks.
- Use your scalp treatment. It’s easy to forget, so add it to one of your blowout bookings when you schedule the month.
- Make each one last. Sleep on silk, wear a shower cap, and use dry shampoo at the roots before they look oily rather than after.
Mistakes to avoid
- Saving visits for later. Only one unused blowout rolls over, so a slow month followed by a busy one won’t give you a stockpile.
- Assuming every style is covered. Any blowout style is included, but Hollywood waves and updos cost extra.
- Heat styling at home anyway. Part of the benefit is giving your hair a break from daily hot tools between visits.
