Are you looking for a quick getaway from New York? In the mood for a little pampering? Head to Marie-Lou & D salon in Soho for the best of both worlds. The minute I entered into MLD, I felt like I had escaped out of the city and into a chic French salon. I went to MLD to get a blowout before my getaway but I didn't have to go far at all to feel like I was on vacation.

Us ladies all need a little pampering, glamming, and relaxing for all that we do, especially before a vacation! Getting your hair done is the best way to kick off a vacation.

Katie was my hair specialist and I highly recommend her when going to MLD. She started off my washing and conditioning my hair. Let me just say, the chairs at MLD are heavenly! They not only are soft but recline back while giving you an amazing massage (the chair massages your butt too!). I almost fell asleep while she was washing my hair and giving me a scalp massage. I haven't felt that relaxed in a long time! Katie then gave me a fresh voluminous blowout. I love watching hair stylists blow hair out. They move so fast with their hands, it's like magic! After the blowout, she used a wand to curl my hair. She made the curls tight and later brushed them out for modern loose curls- exactly what I wanted!

My curls lasted for three days before I had to wash it out, which was amazing on my trip since I didn't have to spend time on my hair every morning!
