Stop and Blo

Blo Salon Opens

What could you get for $20 or less?
a) Three venti, triple-skim, no-foam, sugar-free lattes at ’Bucks for you and two highly caffeinated friends.
b) A decent, respectable hooker. (They ain’t cheap these days.)
c) A pair of Blades of Glory tickets (without using your old student ID).
d) A blowout from Blo.

Ding, that’s right! The answer is d, Moneybags. For a mere twenty bones, you can get a quick straightening from Blo, a salon and spa opening today in Lincoln Park.

The cheap thrills don’t stop there. Blo offers super-long hours, opening at 7 a.m. on weekdays and closing at 9 p.m. Plasma TVs play favorite flicks at every station. Daily specials like Free Martini Mondays mix things up (so you can get blown while getting blown).

The menu covers it all: manis, pedis, facials, spray tans, massages, waxes, haircuts, and coloring.

So lean back, lose yourself in the bubblegum pink walls, and take advantage of the pampering.

Without any hot air.

Blo, 826 West Armitage Avenue, at Dayton Street (773-477-2256).
