Blo-It-Out Lounge

My review is a few weeks late but I tried Blo-​It-​Out a few weeks ago for the first time. I have really long thick curly hair and I’m very particular about my blowouts. Matt did my blow out and did an AMAZING job. My hair looked just how I wanted and lasted me a few days which was awesome. I definitely will be coming back! The prices are great too!

So sad to be leaving for the winter. girls this is such a good value. ask for Matthew or Mallory and you will get the best blow out ever for only 30 dollars during the week. enjoy !!!

Love this place! Desiree is amazing! I’ve been coloring my hair black for years but was never 100% happy w the color. I went to Desiree and she gave me the color I’ve been wanting and I couldn’t be happier… I’ve gotten so many compliments! Her work is great and I highly suggest checking them out!

I came here New Years eve and had a great experience! Mallory blew out my hair just the way I wanted it– volume and loose curls. My hair stayed the entire night! (which is rare). During my hair she did have to step away to help with someone else’s eye lashes but the staff were extremely apologetic. It was fine because I was not in a rush and they started me 10 minutes early! Mallory also did my make up and came out just how I wanted. I will definitely be back for future events!

Loved it. Mallory was nice, down to earth and knew what she was doing. Will definitely go back. Hair looked great and she gave me great tips on how to keep the look longer. She also does makeup which looked nice. Thank you!

Blo it out lounge is awesome! I have had some of the best blow outs and make up appts. Here! Desz and Matt are amazing! Highly recommend trying it out!

What a great place! We stumbled upon this place while visiting friends uptown. The service was fantastic. My daughter has super curly hair and they were able to get it stick straight. Mallory took her time and my daughter walked out beaming! I would recommend this place anytime.

Had an absolutely amazing blowout! Went in on a Friday afternoon because I wasn’t feeling well and really needed to look nice for my brother’s engagement party. I typically hatee getting my hair blown out but they did an AMAZING job– I left feeling absolutely beautiful (despite my horrible nausea!) and everyone at the party complimented me on my hair. I am so glad they were able to squeeze me in, I would absolutely go back again!

Love this place. Matt is the best request him. So accommodating friendly staff and complimentary drinks of your choice. Price basically free for Hoboken area. So can’t go wrong. And once again matthew is amazing. u need him he’s there at ur services. Lol

I have kinky, curly, thick Dominican hair. From the second I met Matt and he gave me an amazing head massage, I knew I was going to be in good hands. Not only was my blowout full, shiny, and soft, it lasted a week! I knew I had found my happy place in Hoboken.
Matt has done my Keratin treatment and can now do my blowout in less than hour which is amazing if you know my hair.
Mallory has done my makeup multiple times and, in addition to being super nice, knows what she is doing. The makeup stays on all day and all night even after lots of dancing! She also did my best friend’s hair and makeup and she loved her too !
Des is beyond nice and is always personable and friendly. And she knows her way with a blow dryer.
Erica is talented in hair and makeup as well!
Coming from a Brooklyn (land of the $ 15 blowouts) and a Dry Bar addict perspective, they know what they are doing.
Their Instagram page shows all of their great work.

Love this place. BLO-​IT-​OUT always delivers a consistent, quality blow out. Staff are super friendly. Salon has a great vibe. Highly recommended.

Easy, breezy experience:) spending my birthday enjoying manhattan with my significant other and wanted great hair to go with the beautiful weather. Erica was great and got me in and out in an hour ready for celebrate the bug 3 – 0. Thank you and will be coming back!

I was quite appalled by how the owner treated the customers and staff. It is one thing to treat your customers poorly, but it is another to also treat your staff like they are below you. Don’t get attached to this place — I don’t expect them to be in business long.
Here is how our experience went. My friend and I booked a 5:00 PM appointment for hair and make up. Even though we had appointments, they didn’t start us until 5:30 and we were not done until after 7:30. Walk-​ins were seen before us and they sat us on opposite sides of the salon. We had planned on catching up and chatting during our appointment — so this completely defeated the purpose of booking together.
They have a $ 70 blowout/​make up deal. My hair was clean — so they said it would be $ 25 to style it. Which is cheaper than the blowout price. Great, right? Not so much. They told me that the $ 70 was a discount deal and because I didn’t need my hair washed I would have to pay $ 5 more for the style and make up, i.e. $ 75 instead of the $ 70 deal.
Me: Well then can’t you just pretend you washed my hair?
Owner: No.
Me: So you are doing less work and using less products on my hair, but I have to pay $ 5 more?
Owner: It’s on the menu.
Me: You aren’t seeing the ridiculousness in this?
It didn’t seem worth my time to continue this argument, so I paid the extra and decided to write a Unilocal review about my experience. I’m shocked this place has such a high rating on here! I know numerous people have had similar experiences with the owner as me, so those $ 5 are completely worth it if this saves others some frustration! DON’T GO HERE.
As mentioned above, we had appointments and were not walk-​ins. So it was quite surprising that they were not equipped to handle our make up at the same time. There was a huge delay in trying to figure out if 4 people could actually fit in their tiny make up room. They finally squeezed us all in — but it was not at all comfortable.
This added to the already late start (which was stressing me out because I was hoping to be done by 7). My make up artist was trying really hard to speed things up and finish, but the owner kept harassing her. Sidney was very professional and kept saying, «I am almost finished — just give me a few minutes.» But the owner didn’t seem to care. She just kept saying «Sidney, I NEED you.» She was rude, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional.
I actually really liked my hair and make up and was tempted to give a higher rating — but based on the owner’s lack of professionalism, I just can’t. However, Sidney is great and if you must go here as a last resort — definitely try to get her. But only if you HAVE to go there because your hair depends on it. ;-) If not, try any of the numerous other places in Hoboken. I hope Sidney finds a better place to utilize her talents!
Oh and they don’t take AmEx and you can’t leave a tip on your credit card. Two things that should be listed on their website and told to you when you book your appointment but are not.

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST! Erica is my life saver when it comes to my hair! They are always accommodating, always fitting me in last minute, and I ALWAYS change my mind when I get there as to what I want to get done, and they always work around it!
Erica does a fantastic job with applying my clip-​in extensions. I go to her once a week to have it redone, but they stay and last a full week for me! That’s with washing my hair WITH THEM IN I have to wash my hair almost every day, too! She does an amazing job with my blow out as well! I’m always satisfied.
I also had both Erica and Mallory do a full face for me for two separate events, and let me just say, it was nothing short of amazing BOTH TIMES!
Love the energy here! Thanks Blo-​It-​Out Lounge for always taking care of me!

If you hate your hair and want to leave your Bridal Hair & Makeup trial without a stitch of makeup on your face. THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!!!
I made an appointment for a Bridal Hair and Makeup trial and gave 3 pics as inspiration. Each had the same loose, low, side swept look. There are no mirrors but when I felt BRAIDING being done after 2 hours without seeing the result I became extra concerned and asked for a hand mirror. I saw a slicked back do’ with braids by my ears. I swear I almost threw up the cheap champagne they were serving.
The hair stylist was sweet but bashed her co-​workers the whole time and I’m like. girl…no offense but this is my Bridal trial. I’m not interested in hearing this stress… also. they’re literally right next to you.
After the two hours, It was a fiasco and another sweet lady came over. took the curling iron from the other girl and whispered in my ear that she would try to help. She did her best but my hair was so hair sprayed at that point it just looked gross.
Seconds later I was told my time was up and they still wanted me to pay the full Bridal fee .over $ 200! I honestly thought it was a joke. I still had an insane hair style and no one even put makeup on me yet! Literally not a brush to face. I was going to my friends wedding which was why i booked my trial for that day so at least i had somewhere nice to go to getting all glammed up.
The 2 managers (and sisters) fought with me over price and then with each other going back and forth angry at each other… Then told me they’d charge me for just an updo but then i questioned that price and said «Isn’t that the wash, blow out and updo price?» They fought more while i stood back then I told them this was the most unprofessional experience of my life and I’d never have my bridal party work with you.“
She goes .“THE FEELING IS MUTUAL.“
Literally a lunatic.
Cut to — The next day I’m at City Bistro and a rando girl comes up to me in the bathroom. asks me if I was at Blow IT Out the day before and then told me she was telling all her friends about my experience and couldn’t believe how psychotic the managers were to me.
Worst.Salon.Ever.

Did an OK job on my hair and makeup-​worked quickly. My tip would be to know EXACTLY what you want or else you’ll get a side eye from the stylist, guess leading the customer wasn’t institutionalize here? I don’t like attitude when I’m paying for a service. Somewhat entertaining and silly staff. If you’re looking for a more chill and relaxing environment try else where the vibe here is more energetic.

Great blowout. Told them exactly what I wanted and they did it. Told them my hair is fine and to curl it so the blowout lasts. She blew it out and pinned it and I just did a wow in the mirror when I got home. Perfect! Thank you!

I wanted to get my hair done with my daughter. I called the salon and they were able to fit me in on that Saturday. They have a awesome staff. They use good hair products. The end result was great hair for both my daughter and I. I would highly recommend.

Not a good experience at all. I called and said I would be 10 min late and they said it’s fine. I show up 12 min late and the stylist has to hurry because there is another appointment after me. They rush my wash and blow dry, not even asking how I want my hair or offering a drink. They literally just blew it straight, something I can do. No styling after. And there was no one waiting to get their hair done after me! They tried to push me to buy a package. Instead I went home and immediately cancelled my next appointment. I then went to another salon near by to get some damn curls put in my hair. Never going back here again.

What an amazing little slice of heaven ! This is an adorable blow out /​beauty boutique, the stylist are very friendly & super well rounded with the multiple hair types I saw walk in. The owners are very personable & will serve you wine & mimosas themselves .
The prices are incredibly reasonable & the products smell like lilac. You can also have your make up done here & they only use MAC :)
