I had never had a blow out. I didn't know what it was.
At a quarter after 5 p.m. on a regular Tuesday, customers were showing up – one, then another, then another – at Blowout Co. at 1301 Cowart St., downtown, in the space formerly occupied by Bob Barker Boutique vintage furniture store.
With smiles on their faces, the customers, all women, came for a shampoo and a style. And a glass of champagne, and the coffee bar, and all the smells and sounds of the neighborhood salon – which doesn’t have any scissors, because it doesn’t do any actual cutting – and the chatter and laughs of visiting and unwinding at the end of a work day, and in some cases, of preparing to go right back out on the town from there.
Blowout Co. has no competition in town. Or for the most part, in the state. Or the region.
The Blowout Co. salon at 1301 Cowart St. opened in space formerly occupied by Bob Barker Boutique vintage furniture store.The concept, a salon offering professional shampoo and styling services and that’s it, is more of a coastal, New York City and Los Angeles establishment.
