How to choose a blowout bar in Minneapolis
Not every salon treats a blowout the same way. Some do a classic round-brush finish with volume at the root; others lean toward a sleeker, straighter result or add a smoothing product to fight humidity. When you call or book, say what you're after — big and bouncy, glassy and straight, or a soft bend — and ask roughly how long it tends to hold on hair like yours.
Texture matters too. If your hair is curly, coily, or coarse, ask whether the stylist blows out that hair type regularly and what they use to cut frizz. A good blowout on textured hair is a different skill than on fine, straight hair, and it's fair to ask before you sit down.
One practical note: a blowout is often bundled into a broader style menu rather than sold on its own, so confirm the standalone service is available if that's all you want.
The booking and rating picture
All 20 of these salons carry a public rating, and together they average 4.86 stars — a tight, high band that tells you the everyday bar for a blowout in this city runs high. Reviews are still worth reading for the things a star number can't show: how a place handles a first visit, whether it runs on time, how it treats a walk-in.
About 60% take online booking, which is handy for a blowout since it's usually a quick, single-service appointment you might want to grab before an event. For the rest, a phone call still gets you in — and calling ahead is a good moment to ask the texture and longevity questions above.
