Tools, temperature, dryer direction—there’s more to a blowout than one might expect, and beauty innovator Mario Russo intensively educates his team on techniques. Bring on the beach curls and frizz-free straightening requests during your initial consultation; then the stylists work their magic, wielding heat-protectant products, boar bristle brushes, ceramic heat and ion technology. And now that the brand-new Fan Pier location has a dedicated Lather Lounge, they’ll surely continue to blow our hair and our minds.
