App Blows Out ; On-Demand Economy Continues Blowing Up

We deal in blowouts all the time, but not the kind involving beautification of quaffs – we leave hairstyling to the pros, like on-demand app newcomer VELUXE and the just launched Blowdry Taxi.

We deal in blowouts all the time, but not the kind involving beautification of quaffs – we leave hairstyling to the pros, like on-demand app newcomer VELUXE and the just launched Blowdry Taxi.

The latter is the latest DC-area startup to jump into the personal, on-demand beautification business. According the DCInno, “Blowdry Taxi has about a dozen, mostly full-time stylists on-call for appointments between 6:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. whether booked weeks in advance or within less than an hour of ordering a blowout or any of a rapidly expanding range of hair and other style services.”

Founder Sona Sut (@Sonauzb) describes it as a “blowout bar that comes to you.”

So welcome to the on-demand party, Blowdry Taxi (@BlowdryTaxi), and keep in mind that if you have the other kind of blowout Urgent.ly is standing ready – in DC and across the country.
