Step Right Up: Braid Bars
The next time you get a case of the frizzies or an especially bad hair day, skip the boring old rubber bands and ponytail and head on over to the nearest braid bar for an awesome updo.
Where once you could stop in for a quick blow out or a pedicure, hair salons in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, and other cities are now beginning to offer both walk-in and call-ahead Braid Bars, where from about $15 to $50 and a half hour of your time, you can receive an awesome braided hairstyle of your choice.
