We wait for it all year, so when summer finally arrives, we don't want to waste a single moment of patio potential.
Least of all stuck inside and struggling with our hair. Enter Blo, the Vancouver-import and newest blow dry business to offer a fast fix to our frizzy hair.
We were in and out in 30 minutes, with our pick of seven sweet Styles ($31). Our friends couldn't believe our soft curls were the work of a round brush alone (no iron touched our tresses). Plus, we could almost forgo coffee for the reviving mint-scented Freshman conditioner (should we start styling at home again, $15.95).
To budget our time even better, hours start as early as 7am for appointments (you can book online) and go until 9pm for Thursday and Friday nights out. All the more reason to take out a Blo Tab - pay for seven and receive eight styles (don't worry, the computer keeps track -- no need to keep a punch card safe).
And since summer has to end sometime, at least we can look forward to the opening of a second location in the Four Seasons.
Timing is everything.
