West Hollywood, CA (The Hollywood Times) 4/15/26 – I had the pleasure of experiencing a blowout at Studio 1 Blowouts, and it truly delivered on its promise of a calm, elevated salon experience.

From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt intentionally different from the typical high-energy salon environment. Founder Chris Florez has created a space that is serene, refined, and refreshingly comfortable, exactly as he described when I mentioned how relaxed I felt during my visit. His vision of offering the opposite of the bustling Drybar experience is clearly realized here.

Josh, who previously worked with Chris years ago and recently reconnected with him before joining the team, took care of my blowout. From the shampoo to the styling, the experience was seamless and incredibly soothing, one of those rare moments where you truly feel taken care of.

The thoughtful details stood out: a chilled bottle of FIJI Water, beautiful greenery throughout the space, and a modern, clean design that feels more like a private studio than a traditional salon.

Located right on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, Studio 1 is perfectly positioned, just steps away from where the Pride stages will soon come alive in a couple of months. It’s easy to imagine this becoming a go-to glam destination during Pride and beyond.

With blowouts priced at $64 and packages available, Studio 1 Blowouts offers not just a service, but an experience, one that is polished, peaceful, and perfectly executed.
