Fabulous Date Night Hair: From Old Money Blowouts to Edgy Updos

The biggest challenge with date night hair is ensuring that the style you leave the salon with is the same style that greets you in the mirror at the end of the evening. As a premier Monrovia hairstylist, we understand that longevity isn’t just about hairspray; it is about the molecular manipulation of the hair during the service.

When we perform our signature blowout, we utilize the “Cool Shot” method combined with BOB Professional’s thermal sealants. By applying controlled heat and then immediately flash-cooling the hair section by section, we “lock” the cuticle in place. This prevents the moisture in the Monrovia air from penetrating the hair shaft, which is what usually causes a blowout to fall flat or frizz. Whether you opt for a high-volume “Old Money” look or one of our textured edgy updos, this scientific approach ensures your date night hair remains red-carpet ready from the first toast to the final dance.
