There are so many reasons to visit Drybar, one of New Jersey’s hippest salons. Nope, you won’t find haircuts or hair color there, just really great, well-priced blowouts. Plus, you can save a tidy 30 percent on haircare kits while supplies last.
While you’re at the Paramus location, check out Drybar’s bright yellow Baby Buttercup. This small but mighty travel dryer, priced at $135, weighs just 13 ounces and has two temperature settings and a cool-shot button (to help prevent frizz). It’s perfect for the busy girl on the go…and operates at 120/140 volts for overseas travel, too. Just fold it up and stash it into your carry-on for great hair, anywhere. Hey, did I mention that the cord is a whopping 7 feet long?
Too bad we must wait until October to get our hands on Drybar founder Alli Webb’s new handbook, The Drybar Guide to Good Hair for All. A longtime stylist and naturally curly-haired chick, Alli and her family founded the biz in 2010 and they now operate 63 shops across the U.S. (That translates into more than a million blowouts a year.) The book features 100+ style inspiration photos and step-by-step tutorials and can be pre-ordered ($24.95) through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Named one of the top “100 Brilliant Ideas” by Entrepreneur Magazine and designated as one of New York Magazine’s boom brands, Drybar sells haircare products and tools through its own shops and online, as well as at Sephora and Nordstrom.
