Your daily battle with the blow dryer is beating you (and your scalp) down. Pull, tear, yank, repeat.

Give your carpal tunnel a rest and bring in a stylist at the Jon Charles Salon to pinch hit. A "European Blow-Dry" service actually leaves your hands free for three days or more.

Stylists use round brushes and work a section at a time and then leave the brush in place. Your head might be piled high with a mountain of 10 to 25 cork-handle boar-bristle brushes (exclusive to the salon) that then act as hot rollers to fully set the style.

After a few spritzes of a Bumble & Bumble product, your hair has more bounce and volume than the average paddle or single-brush style, leaving your hair blow-dry beautiful for days.

Consider it a hair home run.

European Blow-Dry, $20 (for new talent) up to $50, every day (including Sundays), at Jon Charles Salon, 1313 Wayzata Blvd., Wayzata, 952-767-9977 and 1221 W. Lake St., Mpls., 612-724-2444.

You can also participate in free weekly Blowout Bootcamps to learn the technique for yourself. Call salons for details.
