Blo Dri Salon Opens

Dear Wall Street Gents,

This economic situation blows. What gives?

DC Dollarless

Dear DC,

Want to know what blows? Brand-new Blo Dri styling salon, opening today in River North. Blowouts run $25-$35, depending on hair length and texture, so don’t get those scrunchies in a bunch.

Dear WSG,

Nuh-uh! How long does a blowout take? And what products do they use? BTW, no one wears scrunchies anymore.

Dearest DC,

Thirty minutes flat. Blo uses top-of-the line products like Natomy and Farida B from France. They also do updos for special occasions.

Re: scrunchies. Sorry. We do hedge funds, not hair.

Whatup WSG,

Neato! With those prices, why worry about recessions?

DC,

Making fun of baldness isn’t nice.
