Is a blow bar worth it?

[Deleted]

I'm T minus 13 days till b pics and I've just realized that I don't know what I'm wearing or anything.

Since this is a belated happy 30th to myself and I'll never do anything like this again, I'm wondering if I should get my make up done and go to a blow dry bar before I get my pics done.

I can do a pretty decent job on my own make up, but I figure it'll be almost free just to run to Nordstrom and get it done.

The blow dry bar is probably going to be around $50 after tip, but is it really worth if if I just want big curls? My hair isn't thick or unruly, so I know I could do the curls myself, but I know the curls would fall flat at some point.

Anyone done it before? Would you recommend it? Or do you have a salon you would recommend? TIA!

Judging by the number of views with the lack of responses, I'm thinking the Seattle Nexties need to get their minds out of the gutter.

LOL yes I definitely thought this was going to be dirty. I did get my hair done just at Gene Jaurez for my b-pics and I think it was worth the $50 - I felt hot

I have been to swink before and thought it was worth it but I also did not know how to use a curling iron at the time!

I love gene Juarez. They do a great job. I think it's worth it.

Do it. It will be worth it.

Get your hair and makeup done. Esp if you're only doing these pics once...

I agree with the others, go and get them done. I could have done my own as well but then I think I would have been more bored by the pictures. Having someone else do my hair and make up gave me a different look than what I'm used to seeing and overall they did more vava-voom to give the pictures that extra someing.

I'm hair challenged, so the blow bar (heehee) is always worth it IMO. I go to O2 in Bellevue when I go. I think they have a bloomspot deal still on, I think a single visit was $20.

I've never heard of a blow bar before. I googled Swink. How cool!

Learn something new every day!

I would get your hair and make up done so that is reads really polished on film. What are you going to wear? Some of my favorites were pictures in nothing but red satin peep toe pumps and pearls, and just my pink williams Sonoma apron with match pink spatula

this is an awesome idea.

Thanks!
