When you think of styling your own hair, what comes to mind? Knocking yourself in the head with a round brush or finishing with a sleek head of hair? Let’s keep this post from getting too mortifying and say the two of us fall into the knock-yourself-in-the-head-with-a-round-brush category.
Hey, at least we can admit it.
In contrast to our at home blowout experience, we love getting to travel to places like New York City and Los Angeles where the blowout bars put our at-home hairstyling to shame. While they are absolutely genius in their creation, we can’t find them on every corner here in the river city – as they might be in our dreams. It was like the hair-styling-gods answered our prayers when Mango reached out to us about their FreshDry program.
If you are a lover of feeling fabulous after a great blowout experience: listen up. Mango has a number of different blowout packages that are within the price range of blowouts offered in those fabulous big-city blow-dry-only bars. As if that wasn’t good enough, they have three locations in Richmond and offer AH-mazing head and hand massages to take the experience to the next level! The two of us got to experience this at the Short Pump location and can we just say: wow. We loved the staff, the location, the Bumble and bumble products and the overall experience. Keep reading for even better news.
This Dryspun Finish is one of our go-to Bumble and Bumble products, it prolongs your blowout and adds that enviable volume!
Since getting blowouts for a special occasion are a thing of the past, it is nice to hear that a good blowout experience is in our neighborhood and we are so excited to share that opportunity with our readers.
We are collaborating with Mango to give away not just one, but TWO blowouts (FreshDry 2 Package) to a lucky, local reader! Be sure to:
A: follow @mangorva and @thecrystalpress on Instagram.
B: comment on this post by Friday June 17 at midnight for a chance to win!
The two of us will be back to Mango oh-so-soon, so be sure to wave if you see us in the salon at the same time! We are telling you, the hand massages are addicting. On top of all of that >> YOU’RE INVITED << to an evening full of mini makeovers, dry styling, samples, giveaways, and refreshments at the Sephora in Short Pump! We will be hosting the closed door event with Mango and can’t wait to see you there!
