Blow-Outs

Is it sad that when I hear the word blow-out I think of babies and diapers, not brushes and blow-dryers? 

I stopped by Kansas City's new (and very first) beauty bar: Parlor.  If you find yourself on the Country Club Plaza, stop by even if it's only to see the perfectly decorated interior. 
 
It's bright, clean and the perfect-shade-of-yellow chevrons (and comfy chairs) are the perfect mix of trendy and classic styles. I was scheduled with Caylee (another recent graduate) and chose the Voluminous from the menu.

See their website for a full listing of services, including special deals on packages.

The finished 'do (I swear I was happy, I don't know why I didn't smile!):

I had a chance to chat with Meg Haas, the owner and entrepreneur behind Kansas City's first beauty bar.  She's a local MBA graduate who thinks Kansas City's women are so fashion forward, despite the usual two-year wait for current trends to arrive, and they (we) deserve this!

Stop by 608 ½ W. 48th Street on the Country Club Plaza tonight (September 27th) from 7-9pm for their Grand Opening party!  Maybe I'll see you there?

I'm excited for the endless opportunities a fun beauty bar can offer besides a single blow-out: sisters' night out, girls' night out, wedding parties.....the list goes on.....)  

p.s. don't forget to tip your stylist - word on the inside is 20% or more (you know, if you really love the 'do!)

p.p.s.  the thought and opinions in this post are mine and only mine, though the services were provided to me free-of-charge.
