YOU GUYS - i'm leaving for an amazing trip to Turkey and Greece TOMORROW!

drybar sanfrancisco

amazing little salon!! great employees!

i went to drybar in san francisco (oscar was my stylist - he was talkative, knowledgeable and AWESOME) while i was on my work trip to Dreamforce 2011. while the blowout didnt last as long as i wanted to (i touch my hair a lot and dont have the best experiences with dry shampoo), i still loved the entire experience!! i ordered a "cosmopolitan" which was lots of big curls! i also got a "shot" which is a deep conditioning treatment, it made my hair even softer than it already was from getting a keratin treatment a few weeks before. i should add, all of the products they used on my hair were sulfate free, so it did not affect my keratin treatment at all (if it did, i would have had an anxiety attack)!

...and for us DC people, there are plans for one to open here around Thanksgiving time! just in time for the holiday; i will most definitely be going back! this place is perfect for special occasions where you just dont have the time or energy to do it yourself!

post blowout and styling! i love it, the curls didnt last as long as i had hoped, but it looked pretty while it lasted!  {my eyes looked all wack so i put on some shades using picnik hahaha}

 

 chairs custom made for drybar and imported from italy!!

fog...blows my mind.

i was mesmerized by the fog in san francisco. i took this picture flying over the airport because we missed the landing the first time (seriously). nature BLOWS MY MIND.

i'm baaaackkk!!
