The next time you need a blow dry, skip the regular hair salon and head to Drybar (11677 San Vicente Blvd., Brentwood, 310-442-6084). Fanning out fast, with additional locations in Studio City and West Hollywood, it's the new trend in beauty salons, a blow dry-only space that offers five types of blowouts.

Order the Manhattan for a stick-straight 'do; for loose curls, opt for the Cosmopolitan; the signature blowout is called Straight Up; for lots of volume, ask for the Southern Comfort; and for messy and beachy waves, go with the Mai Tai. Even if you don't need a blowout, accompany a friend and bask in the chic black, white, and yellow decor while sipping away at complimentary champagne. As if that's not the best part, it costs a mere $35, so you can get blown out, guilt-free.

 

Good to Know:

  • Drybar suggests a $10 tip, but it's just that, a suggestion, so tip as much as you wish.
    • The Brentwood salon validates valet parking for Brentwood Garden Plaza, located at the corner of San Vicente and Barrington.
