We you at our Launch Party on December 12th?! We had a fantastic evening, a wonderful turn out, amazing eats, and just so much fun learning about and experiencing all of the services offered by The Blow Dry Bar!
The Hair
Moms all over the country are raving about the Blowout, a hairstyle that last for three to five days. A no-fuss hairstyle that lasts close to a week? We don’t know about you, but the busy mamas here at GCMB we were ready to sign right up! Luckily, we discovered that there is a local salon in Fenton offering this unique service. We can’t thank the wonderful stylists at The Blow Dry Bar enough for treating each of our moms to one of their signature blowouts. Everyone looked amazing! Carrie Kramer {the owner}, and Jessica Clark {the salon manager}, stopped at nothing to make the evening so incredibly special for the GCMB Team and our guests!
The Massages
It’s not often that we mamas get a chance to sit down and relax. There were some pretty Zen looking ladies at our party, which makes us oh so happy! We were treated to head massages by the salon’s wonderful massage therapist. We highly recommend booking an appointment! Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Pre Natal massages are all offered, and many of our guests made plans to return for another appointment. Hand massages were part of the evening as well! The Blow Dry Bar’s professional nail services include pedicures, manicures & CND Shellac. All services are performed with 100% natural soaks and scrubs, infused with essential oils.
Brow & Eye Makeup Envy
Can you say makeup?! Many of our moms opted to experience the The Blow Dry Bar’s professional eye makeup and waxing services. We’re not going to lie when we say that some of us had a little brow and eye makeup envy going on!
Good Eats
What is an amazing party without great food?! One of our local favorites, The Barn, provided some yummy bites for our guests to nosh on. There was literally not one single bite left of their signature flatbreads, nachos, pretzel bites or chicken wings. If you haven’t tried The Barn’s food before, do yourself a favor and make it your next date night spot! The General Manager, Jason Warda, is also known for giving back to the community at large. He recently provided Thanksgiving dinner to those in need, and is currently collecting bikes for children in foster care this holiday season. Please consider giving to this amazing cause!
Sweet treats were provided by Cupcakes & Kisses. Known for their unique cupcake creations and fabulous cinnamon rolls, this downtown Holly bakery is the perfect spot to stop in for a cup of coffee and a slice of freshly baked pie. Some of our moms love to take their kiddos after school for a cookie, brownie or one of their signature cupcakes! The bakery’s shop is full of local treasures as well, handcrafted by different Michigan artisans. If you haven’t been to Cupcakes and Kisses yet, put it on your list. Today!
Let’s Not Forget the Wine
Bubbly, sweet, and dry! Our moms were treated to a wine tasting featuring a lovely variety of wines from Wine Shop At Home. Emily, our Wine Consultant, offers in-home Wine Tastings, where guests can taste, learn about, and experience exclusive, artisan wine brands available nowhere else on earth.
