Brand

It's not often that I take a moment to toot a specific brand or salon's horn.

That said, I practically jumped for joy when I received news that Drybar (the blow dry bar pioneered by Alli Webb) is opening a new location in the Le Parker Meridien Hotel Midtown tomorrow because, ever since it made its east coast debut in the Flatiron District, I've been HOOKED.

Not only does the yellow, white and gray schemed salon ooze cool (it features a candy bar, iPhone charging docks at every station and the latest fashion mags to hit the stands - so you don't have to fight over the only one that's current), Drybar's equipped with talented stylists that know how to serve up a full "bar" of blowouts (my favorite is "The Cosmo" for loose curls) FAST.

Add to that the fact that you can book and cancel appointments online and save a buck or two with "Bartabs" and you're in heated-hair heaven (now perhaps in less time).
