Lift that Lash at Blow Bar Bali
One of Bali’s unique destinations that ingeniously blends two favourite spots, a bar and a salon, Blow Bar Bali brings you somewhere you can simultaneously sip on a martini as you get manicured, or enjoy a blow dry with some bubbles in hand!
Understanding that eyes are the window to the soul, Blow Bar Bali’s newest treatment is set to give your windows the perfect frame with a combination ‘Brow Perm and Lash Lift’ package. The brow perm, or brow lamination, uses the same chemical they use for a lash lift; a setting lotion will also be used to help your brows stay up, giving them a thick, bushy and plush look. As for your lashes, well, a quick lift at Blow Bar will have you batting them at your beau in no-time, inviting them to look deep into those sparkling eyes of yours wondering, “what is it about those eyes that make them look so good?” The Brow Perm & Lash Lift package is priced at IDR 400.000++, but you can book these treatments separately for only IDR 200.000++ (Brow Perm), and IDR 300.000++ (Lash Lift).
Blow Bar also offers hair treatments imported straight from Italy to care for sensitive scalp, thinning hair, dry or greasy dandruff, and to bring life to damaged locks – you’ll then get pampered to a relaxing back and head massage. To top it all off, there is champagne by the bottle and signature cocktails on offer. You’ll also love their ‘Beach Babe’ signature blow-style, a messy soft-wave look; or the quick ‘Refresh’, a 25-minute style ‘touch up’ if you’re not looking for drastic changes.
