#BLOW’s new Glasgow location in Shawlands, and their cult Finnieston area salon, are the first official European Manic Panic Colour Asylums.

Manic Panic, the cult colourful temporary hair dyes used by the celebrity stylists for the likes of Lady Gaga and Rihanna fits perfectly with the fun and playful vibe at #BLOW.

As well as the latest advanced colour techniques, #BLOW specialise in cutting-edge runway looks, blow-drys and braids. The salons are a riot of colour and neon signs and you can get your hair done at the bar whilst sipping a cocktail - the perfect girly place to get ready for a night out.

You can even book a blow-dry with afternoon tea!
