Pro Tips to Save Money on Blowouts

Learn to blowout at home — a quality round brush ($25) and dryer ($50-$100) pay for themselves after 2-3 salon visits. YouTube tutorials make it learnable in a weekend
DryBar memberships save 30% — their monthly membership ($40-$80/month for 2 blowouts) is significantly cheaper than paying $45 each walk-in
Extend your blowout to 4-5 days — sleep on a silk pillowcase, use dry shampoo on day 2, and pin curls before bed. One blowout should last nearly a week
Skip the extras — deep conditioning and scalp treatments add $15-$25. Nice occasionally but not needed every visit
Book blowouts before events, not weekly — unless it's a tax-deductible business expense, weekly blowouts ($2,000-$3,000/yr) are a luxury. Save them for dates, interviews, and photos
Use Revlon One-Step at home — this $35-$60 tool combines a brush and dryer and gives near-salon results in 15 minutes. Best DIY blowout tool on the market

Blowout Bar vs Traditional Salon

Blowout bars (DryBar, Blo Blow Dry Bar) charge $35-$65 for a focused, efficient blowout — no cut, no color, just styling. Traditional salons charge similar but often include a blowout with your cut/color service. The blowout bar advantage is speed (in and out in 45 minutes) and consistency (they do nothing but blowouts all day). The salon advantage is relationship-building with your stylist and the option to add services. For regular maintenance, a blowout bar membership is the most economical. For events, a salon stylist who knows your hair may deliver better results.

How Much Does a Weekly Blowout Habit Cost?

Weekly blowouts run $1,300-$3,400 per year depending on salon tier and location. Bi-weekly: $650-$1,700/year. Monthly (events only): $300-$780/year. If you're spending more than $100/month on blowouts, investing $100-$150 in a quality dryer and round brush will pay for itself within 2 months. The Dyson Airwrap ($500-$600) is expensive but delivers salon-quality results at home and pays for itself in 8-12 blowout visits.
