DFW Beauty Guide: Blowouts, Makeup & Lashes | BAM
Getting ready for a wedding, date night, photoshoot, party, work event or a well-deserved day out should be exciting—not stressful. Whether you're deciding between a professional blowout and an updo, wondering what to expect at a makeup appointment, or trying to figure out how to make your finished look last, a little preparation can make your beauty appointment even better.
At BAM blowouts & makeup, our professional hair stylists and makeup artists help clients get ready throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area at our Dallas location in Uptown near West Village, Plano location at Legacy West, and Fort Worth location at Clearfork.
From professional blowouts and makeup applications to faux lashes, group appointments and special-event glam, here's what to know before your next beauty appointment.
What Are the Benefits of Getting a Professional Blowout?
A professional blowout is more than simply drying your hair. It combines shampooing, conditioning and professional styling to create a finished look based on your hair and the style you want.
Depending on your preferences, a professional stylist can create smooth and sleek hair, soft waves, curls, bouncy volume or a polished event-ready style.
A blowout can also save considerable time when you're preparing for an event. Instead of washing, drying and styling your hair yourself, you can arrive at the salon and leave with your hair professionally styled.
At BAM, professional blowouts start at $59, with additional styling and add-ons available depending on your hair and desired look.
How Should You Care for Your Hair After a Blowout?
Once you've invested in a professional blowout, you'll probably want to keep it looking fresh for as long as possible.
Try to minimize unnecessary moisture and humidity immediately after your appointment. When showering, protect your hair from steam and water. At night, avoid crushing or tightly tying your hair in ways that can create unwanted bends.
The right routine depends on your hair texture, style and lifestyle, so ask your BAM stylist for recommendations before leaving your appointment. They can give you advice based on the specific blowout you've received rather than relying on one routine for every hair type.
What Should You Expect at a Professional Makeup Appointment?
A professional makeup appointment should start with your desired look.
You might want natural makeup for a daytime event, polished makeup for professional photos, soft glam for a wedding or date night, or a more dramatic full-face look for a special occasion.
Bringing inspiration photos can help communicate the look you have in mind. Your makeup artist can then customize the application to your features, preferences and event.
BAM offers professional makeup applications beginning at $49, with options ranging from eye makeup to natural looks and full-face makeup. BAM's Bespoke service includes a full-face application with complexion products and makeup for the eyes, cheeks and lips, along with lashes.
What Makeup Styles Are Popular for Events?
There isn't one makeup style that's right for every event.
Natural makeup works well when you want an understated, polished appearance. Soft glam can add definition while maintaining a softer finish. Full glam creates a more dramatic, camera-ready look and can be particularly well suited to formal events, evening celebrations and photos.
The occasion isn't the only consideration. Your outfit, hairstyle, personal style, photography and how dramatic you want the finished result to appear can all influence the right choice.
That's why professional makeup doesn't have to mean wearing the same look as everyone else. At BAM, applications can be customized to the individual client and desired result.
Complete the Look With Professional Faux Lashes
Faux lashes can add definition to the eyes and complement both natural and full-glam makeup.
BAM offers several lash options. Select makeup services include lashes, while additional faux-lash services and applications are also available. For example, BAM's Bat-Worthy add-on includes false lashes and professional application.
If you're unsure which lash option works with your desired makeup look, ask your makeup artist. The goal should be to complement the rest of your makeup rather than simply choosing the most dramatic option.
Hair and Makeup in One Place
One of the easiest ways to simplify getting ready for an event is to have your professional hair and makeup done at the same location.
Instead of driving between separate appointments, BAM clients can book professional blowouts or hair styling along with makeup services.
This can be particularly convenient for weddings, bridal events, photoshoots, birthdays, date nights, homecoming, parties, corporate events and other occasions where timing matters.
BAM currently has three DFW locations:
📞 Call us: BAM Fort Worth, TX (817) 803-4466
📞 Call us: BAM Dallas, TX (469) 729-9101
📞 Call us: BAM Plano, TX (214) 501-5643
That means clients looking for professional hair and makeup throughout different parts of DFW can choose the BAM location most convenient for them.
Make Professional Beauty Part of Your Routine
Professional hair and makeup don't have to be reserved exclusively for weddings or major events.
For clients who regularly schedule professional beauty services, BAM also offers memberships for blowouts, makeup, and combinations of blowouts and makeup. BAM's current membership options range from recurring monthly services to higher-frequency plans, and membership credits can be used across BAM locations.
This can make professional styling part of a regular routine for work, weekends, date nights, events or simply because you enjoy having your hair or makeup professionally done.
Getting Ready Across Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW)
Choosing the right beauty appointment comes down to the look you want, the occasion you're preparing for and how much of the getting-ready process you'd like a professional to handle.
