Arrojo’s flagship salon on Varick street is my new go-to for a Friday after work blowout. It has the perfect pre- going out vibe and energy and I don’t mean in the cheesy Dry Bar way where they give you champagne but in the industrial, warehouse, cool, downtown new york way. The 36 chair facility has a makeup station, a cute italian cafe and a retail store. And a killer playlist.

They even have blow dry packages that score you some major savings (see here for details) so you can make this your thing. Like Regina’s hoop earrings.
