At Salon 809, we specialize in the art of the Dominican blowout—a technique that delivers sleek, bouncy, and voluminous hair without harsh chemicals. While every stylist may add their own touch, the process follows a tried-and-true method designed to minimize heat damage and maximize shine.

A great blowout starts with clean, nourished hair. We begin with a deep cleansing shampoo to remove buildup, followed by intense conditioning to hydrate and strengthen your strands. Depending on your hair’s needs, we may apply multiple conditioning treatments to ensure maximum moisture and protection.

Next, we set your hair on large rollers—the bigger, the better for your hair length. This gentle heat technique allows your hair to dry with minimal damage while beginning the straightening process. You’ll sit under a hooded dryer for about an hour, letting the indirect heat work its magic.

Once your hair is dry, we remove the rollers and use a round brush and blow dryer to smooth out your hair further. This step creates the signature bounce and silkiness of a Dominican blowout. If needed, a quick pass with a flat iron may be used for extra polish.

To lock in the style, we wrap your hair in a “doobie,” which helps maintain movement and shine. Wrapping your hair overnight can extend the life of your blowout, keeping it sleek and frizz-free for days.
