I’m all about saving that extra buck, but when it comes to getting a blowout, my advice is: just go to a good salon!
Besides, you should know by now that Lebanon’s prices are relatively cheap (a blowout in New York cost me $45!) when it comes to salon services. Most, if not all of the salons here, will charge between $10 to $15 for a blowout.
Pace e Luce is one of those rare, wonderful salons that you can trust not to chop off all your locks when you go in asking for a trim.
They also do fantastic blowouts and, in the unlikely even that your curls start to fall apart too soon, you can go back the next day and they’ll fix ’em up for you. There are several branches in Lebanon, including one in Tripoli, and their staff is known for being friendly and organized.They are usually full, so booking an appointment – yes, even if it’s just for a blow out – is highly recommended.

Located in Achrafieh, Dessange markets itself as one of the best salons in Beirut (but only if you’re on good terms with your wallet). Not only do they give great blowouts, but they have a line of hair products that really do add some pop and glow to your tresses.
Dessange is one of those salons that you’ll leave feeling like you just walked off the set of Sex in the City. Pro-tip: ask about their Thai massages. They are fabulous.

3. Salon Hajjar
Salon Hajjar is the go-to place for Hamra students. It is located a minute away from AUB’s campus and offers blowouts, along with hair trims and dyes at very reasonable prices. The best thing about this salon: they work quickly so you won’t spend too much time getting your hair did.

Tarek Rizk is more on the high-end side of salons, with celebrities dropping in for a blowout before a performance or television appearance. But hey, blowouts are still not too expensive there, and if you’re feeling like sharing the same salon as Haifa Wehbe, then you go for it, girl.
With a soothing ambiance, this place comes with amazing deals. Personally, I think they give the best blowout in town for only 14,000 LL. In addition, they are unrivaled when it comes to all things nails-related so you could always accompany your beauty session with a mani-pedi while you’re at it.
