Best Hair Salon Blown Away Hair Studio 3109 N. Main St., Suite 108, Hope Mills 910-425-1500 or www.facebook.com/BLOWN-AWAY-HAIR-Stu- dio-264559880375723 Review after review raves that the stylists at Blown Away fix botched hairdos with ease, encourage clients to try new styles that they end up loving and create a fun, relaxing environment for customers. More than one client received a hairstyle that was "exactly how (they) wanted." Another claims the styl- ists can practically "read your mind," their haircuts are so good. Some drive a round-trip of 90 miles to get their hair cut; others have returned to the salon regu- larly for 10 years and counting. A few have literally left the salon in tears of joy. No, we're not exaggerating. Blown Away Hair Studio leaves customers, well, blown away. After more than five years in business, this upscale salon has created a family environment for both its stylists and its clients. The stylists stay current on the latest techniques in hair color, cuts and designs with continuing education, so they're sure to find the perfect look for you.
