I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the worst salon experiences I've had. I arrived with an inspiration photo of the hairstyle I wanted. My stylist, Alicia Coleman, barely spoke to me before immediately taking me to wash my hair. I actually had to stop her so I could show her the reference photo. She gave it a quick glance, said, "I got you," and that was the extent of the consultation. As she styled my hair, she kept turning my chair away from the mirror so I couldn't see what she was doing. Every time I tried to look, she turned the chair even farther away. I found it very odd because I wasn't able to see the styling process or offer any feedback. Had I been able to watch, I could have pointed out that it wasn't going in the direction I wanted before she finished. When she finally turned me around for the "big reveal," I was shocked. It looked nothing like my inspiration photo. She had curled all of my hair toward my face instead of away from it, and the style was completely different from what I had requested. I wanted a side part with hair softly covering part of my forehead. When I asked if she could fix it, she told me I had too much breakage to achieve that look. I was already running late and didn't have time to stay, so I left extremely disappointed. When I got home, I had to completely wet my hair, blow-dry it all over again, and curl it myself from scratch. I was able to recreate the look I originally asked for with no problem. Paying $50 for a blowout that I had to completely redo myself was a total waste of money. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

Blow In Blow Out - This is the next day! Still gorgeous - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

This place is efficient, clean and beautiful. They're open nice and early at 8:00 AM, so when I needed my hair done for a morning photo shoot it was very easy to book an appointment online. Frenchie was my stylist and I chose the Glam Girl hair style. She' didn't remember what style I had written down but remembered I wrote down that I have Japanese straightening. Frenchie and the staff were friendly. As far as COVID is concerned you sign a form checking off a list that you haven't had symptoms, they take your temperature, and everyone is required to wear masks. The style came out well. I'm happy to know about this place and could see myself coming back for a blowout. read more

I was in dire straits for a proper blowout and had 5 day old hair. Normally I don't like to spend $50.00 for a wash and blow, and luckily I didn't have to!!! When I called, they told me that my blowout would be $35.00 which was shockingly low to me considering the area. They placed me in the very capable hands of Arlyn who gave me a great shampoo and condition, and then the best fresh blowout I have ever gotten. I felt great all day and got compliments on how great my hair looked. My husband told me that my hair looked pretty the moment I saw him. Thank you Arlyn, and see you soon!! Best, Jen Shuster read more

I love Blow In Blow Out, so much so that I am a package holder at this boutique style salon! Their prices are reasonable and their stylists' work is beautiful. I have seen Alyssa, Sonaya and Frenchie for both color and blow outs. A Summit go-to! read more

This is literally my absolute favorite spot to get my hair done. Whether I need color, my weekly blowout, or a deep conditioning treatment, all the girls here are fantastic. Frenchie, Jillian, and Alyssa are all so sweet and talented at everything hair! They also are extremely cautious when it comes to COVID-19 precautions such as temperature checks, sanitizing stations, and mask wearing. The vibe inside the salon is so homey and cute, I feel like I'm sitting in my living room with a bunch of my friends. The best! read more

Blow IN Blow OUT is my GO TO spot for blow outs!!! It is under new ownership and there has been quite a change in the overall atmosphere and vibe of the place!!!! Everyone is upbeat and friendly...the blowouts are incredible and affordable, and I can say with 100% confidence that every single stylist can do an amazing blow out!!!! Give it a try! You won't be disappointed! :) read more

I moved to NJ from NYC a few years ago and quickly found that the caliber of blowouts in many highly recommended and expensive salons was just not as good. I was happy to find Blow In Blow Out. While some of the girls are better than others (Jillian is my go-to), they all do a pretty good job and although their prices have gone up by 28% (inflation) over the past few years, they are still fairly reasonable compared to others in the area. read more

Great service, friendly staff. I've never been disappointed with my hair style. Thanks blow in blow out

The atmosphere in this place is great. The staff is super friendly. I took my wife there for the first time and she loved it. She says she will be coming back. read more

Such a cute place. I have extremely long/kinky curly hair and my blow out stayed in for 5 days. I could've held it longer, but it was time to wash LOL. I will definitely be booking again. Everyone was warm and friendly. Great pricing, especially compared to other places in the area. Thanks again, Blow in Blow Out! read more

I have been there several times now and have not been disappointed - I have a LOT of curly, long, thick hair and they do a wonderful job each time. I purchased a package that saved me a few dollars, but even the regular pricing is worth it. I've been to several places in the area and this one is the one I always go back to...price is great and services are fantastic. read more

I felt gorgeous! And when you leave a salon, that's exactly how you want to feel! Even though I wasn't rescheduled in the book, and had to wait 45mins....it was well worth it. The place is so adorable and very clean. Staff is super friendly! Jonathan was the best, I will be requesting him from now on. This is my go to place for a blow out! read more

Love this spot! I work in Newark and needed a place close to the office. Everyone is super professional and the blow-out services are fantastic! I have long, thick hair, too much to handle on my own. Have to leave it to the professionals. read more

What a great experience! There was no wait time at all, the service began promptly on time. Shirley my stylist was great! She shampooed my hair and styled it exactly how I wanted it and in no time! The fastest and best priced blow out I've had done! I recommend this place to anyone in the area! read more

This place is a life saver! They took me in as a walk-in when my appointment at that famous chain place gave away mine for going over their 10 minute wait policy. The front desk was so welcoming and helpful. My hair was washed and perfectly styled in under 30 minutes. Thank you Jillian and Blow In Blow Out! read more

I am disappointed with my experience here. When you're paying for a service you expect the stylist to seem somewhat interested in the client. My girl seemed bored and tired to be there. After her trying to persuade me to go for a straight look despite my request she finished my look with minimal communication. I'll be going to dry bar instead. read more

Yes it's busy and hard to get an appointment. But more than worth the wait! Jill is fantastic with my super curly hair and does absolutely stunning blow outs that last FOREVER- we are talking 7+ days (with dry shampoo of course). Even when they are booked out I don't trust any other place with my blowouts!! read more

My hair can be really tough to blow out and I have a really busy schedule so I have to book based on timing rather than stylist. I've never been disappointed. Everyone does a great job and I've also never had to wait. read more

Accommodated me immediately after my horrible experience at Blow Drybar. Sonaya was awesome highly recommend, love this place!!! I have very thick curly hair and she did amazing read more

Unfortunately the receptionist didn't get my name correct when I made my appointment Friday, May 25th. So, when I called on the day of my baby shower before I came in, June 24th, there was no appointment scheduled. Gigi was nice enough to fit me in but I had to wash my hair and come with it wet. When Julia, the receptionist showed up, we found out I did in fact have an appointment under the wrong name bc she called me as Gigi was doing my hair. Julia was nasty to me when I checked out, she was very short and rude in response to any questions I asked. I had to pay full price even though I came in with a wet head and was set back 45 minutes which made me arrive late to my shower. I give the star for Gigi because she saved the day despite Julia's mess up. read more

Loved my deep condition and wash/dry. I'm a dude with long hair and these guys were perfect, everyone was welcoming and nice. Didn't feel any judgement or negativity while I was there. They took care of me and did a great job, my rough hair was left clean and smooth. Jillian was especially amazing. read more

THANK YOU LISS! I made a last minute appointment for a wedding and LIss was great! I even had to take a call in the middle of it and Liss was so accommodating. The best part is my hair looked fab and she was so efficient and knew what she was doing! Definitely would go back to see her :) read more

Noelle was great! Showed her a picture of what I wanted and she did not disappoint! And she was super quick as well! Loved her!

I've been going to Billy a few times and he is the funniest and best hair stylist I've ever met! my hair is very long, thick, and curly and can seem unmanageable to many. he cut my hair exactly how I wanted it (they do haircuts after hours) and it was blown out amazingly!!! recently, I went back to get a blow out from Lauren and she had to bring in another stylist just to finish my hair in the time. overall they are so nice and do a great job!!! read more

Loved it! Quick, friendly and did exactly what I wanted! The price was fair and in line with other hair spas. The space is nice and open and the staff was very nice. Had a glass of wine and just relaxed. Thanks!! read more

I am writing this review 45 minutes after leaving the salon. It was our first and last visit at this place. Took my daughter there to get a nice blowout for her graduation. It looked very pretty at the end and we both were pleased with the result. However, 10 minutes after leaving the salon, her hair was already flat. It looked like nothing was done to it. We basically paid $45 for a hair wash.:) I am not angry. Life goes on. We have more important things to worry about. New clients should test out this place first before booking an appointment for an important event. It may work out for you. Good luck! read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I never in my life have been treated as terribly as I was here. I get frequent blow outs and I almost always get my hair done before a big event. I had a wedding to go to and requested an updo two months in advance here. I wanted to try something new closer to my house. When I arrived they had me for a blow out and braid. I arrived ten minutes early, Noelle finished her client before my schedule time, but I was told I could only be seen at my appointment time. While I've never experienced something like that I respected their rules. I was recommended Noelle as she is the queen of updos they told me. That could not be further from the truth. Whenever I've done my hair up, they usually curl it to add dimension to the updo. She brushed my hair, attached my extensions and did a normal bun that I could have done at home. I tried to make small talk but she was not in the mood to chat. I expressed my feelings about the bun to her, and the nasty attitude started. She was increasingly rude as I tried to suggest maybe a pony "yeah ok your extensions will show" with a rude tone. I ended up walking out with an updo that I could have done at home. Took it down when I got home and ended up doing something myself. Do yourself a favor and find a place where they are actually nice and want to make sure you have a good time. Oh and they charged me, without even asking if this was what i expected. Terrible terrible customer service. read more

I had been here for a few visits and very pleased. Unfortunately now I find it impossible to get an appointment online. I have left voicemail on two separate occasions since I was unable to book online and no one has even returned my phone call. Not very good customer service. read more

Great! A little bit of a wait past my appointment time, but my hair turned out wonderful.

I have to preface this review by revealing that I'm a Dry Bar fan. That said, this place is pretty unique for the downtown Summit area. I decided to get my hair blown out for a segment I was taping so I went online to make an appointment. You have to pay for the appointment when you make it online, so I waited until morning when I could call and make an appointment. I was able to make an appointment that suited me the day before I needed it, which was nice. I know they are a relatively new business and I'd seen pictures of their grand opening online, so I was excited to go. Of course it was humid and raining when I got there, so the stylist had her work cut out for her. I also have long,thick hair, which doesn't hold a curl so there's that too. There were four employees there and I was the only customer. I was seated immediately with my stylist for a consultation. There are six or so styles you can pick from, but I opted to let her do what she thought was best after hearing what I was looking for. I was offered tea or water, I declined, and was taken back to get my hair washed. The shampoo smelled great and the head massage was quite relaxing. I was then taken to my stylist's chair where the blow out began. Sitting in a chair for 45 minutes with nothing to look at is a tad boring, and unfortunately it gives you ample opportunity to stare at the facility. I noticed quite a bunch of dust (we're talking about some major dust bunnies) under the couch that two of the employees were sitting on. I also noticed dust and hair on the floor under the station in front of me. Generally I'd assume that hair and dust would be on the floor, but I was the first appointment of the day so I think it was a safe assumption to think the place had been cleaned the night before or that morning, so there shouldn't have been any noticeable dust. Also until half way through my appointment there were three employees sitting around who could have grabbed a broom at any time and swept up. There was also a hair in the bowl of black, white, and pink gum balls they had on the counter (which may have been for decoration...the gum, not the hair). I didn't want any gum, but that was really gross to look at. If it was this unkept in the front of the store, who knows what things look like in the back...Yuck! The stylist was very nice and frankly gave me the best blow out I've ever had. I told her to use a lot of hairspray because my hair doesn't hold well. She sprayed it and told me that the blow out would last two days. I certainly didn't expect that it would stay for two days, but I hoped it would stay for an hour or two. Within 45 minutes my hair was 90% flat. Boo! If I was in the area I may try them again, but I'd bring my own spray and a magazine to keep my eyes busy while the stylist worked! read more
