A blowout is a wash-and-style service that shapes your hair with a round brush and blow dryer, no cut or color involved, to create volume, smoothness, or waves that last several days. It typically includes a shampoo, conditioning, and a full finishing style.
A standard blowout runs about 30–45 minutes, though longer, thicker, curlier, or more heavily textured hair can take 60–90 minutes to fully dry and style.
Most blowouts hold their shape for 3–6 days depending on your hair type and how oily your scalp gets, though very dry hair can sometimes stretch a blowout to a week or more.
Sleep with your hair loosely wrapped or in a low bun on a silk pillowcase, avoid touching or brushing it too much, and use a dry shampoo at the roots to absorb oil rather than washing it out early.
Yes — a blowout on curly or coily hair typically smooths and stretches the natural curl pattern using tension and heat, giving a straighter, sleeker result than the hair's natural texture. Tell your stylist upfront how much smoothness you want versus how much natural texture you'd like to keep.
Yes, extensions are designed to be styled just like natural hair, and a stylist experienced with extensions will simply adjust heat and brush tension slightly near the attachment points.
A blowout is a wash-and-dry style using primarily a round brush, while a full styling service can include additional techniques like curling irons, flat irons, updos, or braiding for a more event-specific look.
Book at least 1–2 weeks ahead for a standard event, and 4–8 weeks ahead if you want a trial run first for something like a wedding or milestone event, since popular time slots fill up fast around weekends and holidays.
Bring reference photos of the style you want, any accessories you'll be wearing, and wear a top with a similar neckline to what you'll have on for the event so you can see the full look together.
Yes — Gordon Salon's styling service includes formal updos for weddings and events, and a trial appointment beforehand is recommended so you can confirm the exact look before the big day.
A well-secured updo uses backcombing at the base, strategically placed pins, and a strong-hold setting spray, which together should hold through dancing, hugging, and hours on your feet. Let your stylist know it needs to last all day so they can build in extra security at the pin points.
Stylists typically layer a heat protectant, a texturizing or volumizing product at the roots, and a finishing hairspray with flexible but strong hold — the specific products depend on your hair type and the style itself.
Yes, bring the photo — it's the most useful reference a stylist can work from, though your stylist will tell you honestly if any adjustments are needed to make it work with your hair's length, texture, or density.
Yes, dry styling on second-day or product-free hair is available and can actually hold certain curls and updos better than freshly washed hair, since a little natural texture and grip helps some styles stay in place longer.
Loosely wrap your hair around your head and secure it with a silk scarf, or use a silk pillowcase, and avoid tight ponytails or buns that create a crease or dent.
Same-day appointments are sometimes available depending on the location and stylist schedule, but booking a day or two ahead guarantees your preferred time and stylist, especially for anything with a fixed event time.
Pricing depends on the complexity of the style, a simple blowout versus a formal updo, and your hair's length and thickness, so Gordon Salon prices styling services individually rather than at one flat rate.
A soft updo uses loose, textured pieces and movement for a romantic, undone look, while a sleek updo is smoothed and polished with defined, controlled lines — the choice usually comes down to the formality and style of your event.
Yes, shorter hair, even above the shoulders, can be styled into a smaller updo, half-up style, or textured twist-back — the options are more limited than with long hair, but a skilled stylist can usually create a polished formal look regardless of length.
Yes, Gordon Salon can coordinate multiple styling appointments for a bridal party or group event at one of its six Chicagoland locations — it's best to book these as early as possible so the whole group can be scheduled together.
Our stylists take the time to understand your vision and preferences, offering personalized hair styling that fits your vision, aesthetic, and hair type.
