For brides who prefer romantic comedies on in the background or bright fuchsia everywhere, these blow dry bars in the nation’s capital are the perfect pick.
Drybar
The Drybar is taking the D.C. area by storm. The business with the popular “no cuts, no color, just blowouts” slogan that has influenced the blowout business world is the ideal place to bring a crew of bridesmaids pre-bachelorette party. Think bright sunny yellow everywhere, romantic comedies playing, and bubbly for all. Drybar offers a few distinct styles on their menu, including their classic straight up, loose curls Cosmo, big haired Southern Comfort, beachy Mai Tai, and straight and sleek Manhattan.
