I enjoy quality time with my husband, dinner out, concerts, special events and many other occasions that call for date night. So why, after the addition of children, does date night sometimes seem like such a chore? Something that was once only as complicated as getting a weekend reservation at the new restaurant is now a logistical dance of babysitters, meal prep for kids, evening plans and, my most dreaded item on the list, finding the time to get ready. It’s not long before I begin negotiating with myself – from a dress to “dressy jeans,” from heels to flats from polished to au naturale. I need date night more than I sometimes like it, especially the hour before we’re actually out the door. I was recently able to try the new Blownaway app for in-home hair and make-up styling, and it was a complete game changer! Available on Android or iPhone, Blownaway makes date night happen and me look really, really good.
I love a good blow out and, in a perfect world, would make one part of the prep for any of my important events. There is something about someone else behind the blow dryer that gets things oh so smooth and just right. These days, my afternoons at the blow out bar are replaced with errands, kids activities and prepping the house for a baby sitter. Blownaway coming to my house is the best of both worlds.
In the time it would usually take me to drive to a salon and wait for my appointment, I gave my daughter a bath, put her in pajamas and hopped in the shower myself. My Blownaway hair stylist was at the door promptly at appointment time and we were down to business in minutes. My stylist was perfectly at home with us and loved hanging out with the whole fam as we got ready! It brought back fun memories of primping with my roommates in college, back when drying your hair and putting on some makeup for a night out was part of the fun. I also love that the appointment was easily reserved through my app instead of having to remind myself to call and see what times might be available at a salon. The services, times and even stylists can be seen on the app at a glance for easy booking.
Both my hair and makeup stylists were some of the most warm and personable people I’ve ever worked with and both were amazing at following instruction and being down with my understated tastes. I was very impressed by how full service the experience was, especially the makeup application which was extremely thorough. I got a total education on colors, contouring and even false lashes which were applied for free!
Blownaway completely transformed my mood for the night and put everyone at the house on their best behavior. My daughter was mesmerized by the stylists and my husband took things up a notch with his prep as well. The only thing that could make the experience more fun is getting a few of my girlfriends over to use the group feature on the app, making it the perfect way to get ready for a wedding, group date night or PTA event.
Date night is our big chance to put down the phones and schedules and get away from real life for a few hours. It can be hard to jump into that head space, and Blownaway was a huge asset in me looking and feeling date night ready in the most convenient way possible. I loved having this fun crew over and I’m already looking forward to their next visit!
