One of the best parts about the Academy Awards is checking out all of that red-carpet glam. And, of course, debriefing about it at the watercooler the next day. This year, if you're planning on watching the Oscars somewhere other than your couch (as lovely as that is), you've got to make sure you look the part. So, we've found your own personal team of stylists, err, sort of.
This Sunday, February 24, blow-dry bar Blowtique is offering its "Oscar Ready" updos and styles (think sex kitten, not prom) for $50 — $20 less than usual. If a blowout is more your speed, the regular amazingly inexpensive price of $35 still applies. And to make you feel like a real starlet, you can bring your own bottle of Champers to use at the complimentary mimosa bar — or just let those tiny bubbles go to your head sans the OJ. Heck, it's not as though you have to worry about getting up to make a speech...
Blowtique, 1 East Huron Street (between Wabash Avenue and State Street); 312-280-2400.
