Hair Styling 101 for the Modern Entrepreness
« Read the full blog
We interviewed Chris Funk, style director at blo blow dry bar in Vancouver.
For a woman who only has 10 minutes to devote to her hair, what hair styling tips do you recommend?
A perfect pony! This style is ultra-modern, sleek, pretty and easy to do at home. To make this style seamless, make sure you wrap a strand of hair around the base of the pony. The real kicker: you only need a hair elastic and bobby pin to master this style!
Check out blo’s how-to videos online to learn how you can create the perfect pony at home.
What is a Blo On The Go?
Blo offers more than just in-house styling, our creative team goes wherever flawless hair is desired or required. Blo is the top of mind creative team in Vancouver. Some recent BOTG’s include both westcoast H&M openings, Aritzia’s corporate fashion show and Vancouver Fashion Week! Other BOTG ideas include spoiling your female staff for a job well done or giving you team the edge before a big presentation – yes, we will blo at your work! More info is available at blomedry.com.
What are your top 3 must-have products for women?
Definitely a spray to hold your style – I recommend AeroGel (unlike most sprays, this is a gel-based spray that not only holds your style, it sets it for the day!) Also, make sure you have a smoothing creme like Silk (available at Blo) to tame frizz and a finishing product, like Blo’s signature Shine, which takes your style to the next level! The best part: all of these products come in mini sizes so you never have to be hair impaired.
Up-do’s- Classic vrs. Modern. How do you decide which one to do?
It definitely depends on the occasion, your outfit and your features! Blo’s Style Menu features a simple updo (think a classic French twist), but we can absolutely cater to your a la carte wishes. While classic updos will never fade, messy side buns are a super cool modern take on the classic chignon.
What is a blo-out? How long will it last? Can women drop by for a quickie on their lunch break?
Blo Out is Blo’s cute term for a wash and style – we do it in about 30 minutes for about 30 dollars. A perfect service for a busy professional on the run! Blo is open as early as 7am for the workaholic set – you may be surprised what you can do on your Blackberry while your hair gets coifed!
A blo out should last between 2-3 days. A great way to make your ‘do last longer is to use dry shampoo in the morning – it not only absorbs natural oils, it also fluffs your hair with volume. And, as we all know, perfect hair equals perfect confidence for those board-room meetings, client pitch sessions and power lunches.
