The best blowout is more than just smooth hair — it’s confidence that lasts for days. At Craft Collective Salon Group in McCandless, our stylists create signature blowouts and finishing styles designed for your lifestyle, texture, and the ever-changing Pittsburgh weather.
Here’s what makes our blowouts different — and why McCandless professionals and North Hills residents keep coming back for that effortless salon finish.
1. Customization Starts at the Wash
Healthy hair begins at the bowl. Each blowout starts with a personalized cleanse and conditioning treatment that balances moisture and strength.
Our stylists handpick from:
R+Co Gemstone for color-safe shine
Wella Color Motion+ for smoothness
Aveda Botanical Repair for long-term strength and elasticity
For consistent shine all year, visit The Ross Township Guide to Healthy Hair Year-Round.
2. Protect, Prep, and Polish
Before heat styling, we use professional-grade protectants to maintain your hair’s health. Lightweight prep products create a smooth base that resists humidity and frizz — perfect for Pittsburgh’s unpredictable climate.
Our McCandless favorites include:
R+Co Bleu Essential Hair Tonic for hydration
Wella EIMI Perfect Me for heat protection and flexibility
Aveda Smooth Infusion Style Prep for sleek finishes
Learn about prep techniques in The North Hills Blowout & Styling Guide.
3. Technique That Makes the Difference
A Craft Collective blowout isn’t rushed — it’s designed to last. We focus on:
Low, steady heat for minimal damage
Precision sectioning for volume and control
Tension-based brushing to lock in smoothness
Each stylist is trained to adapt technique based on your cut and texture, ensuring your hair moves naturally and feels weightless.
4. The Finishing Touches
Once the hair is perfectly dry, we enhance shine and hold with lightweight, high-performance products:
R+Co Bleu Optical Illusion Oil for mirror-like gloss
Wella Oil Reflections Serum for fine-to-medium hair
Aveda Air Control Light Hold Spray for flexible finish

5. Event-Ready Blowouts
Our McCandless location frequently styles clients for weddings, galas, and professional events across North Hills. Whether you prefer soft waves or voluminous curls, we’ll create a look that lasts through every photo and celebration.

7. Maintaining Your Blowout at Home
We teach each client how to extend their blowout with simple at-home care:
Sleep on a silk pillowcase.
Use R+Co Spiritualized Dry Shampoo Mist for refreshing.
Apply a drop of R+Co Bleu De Luxe Reparative Oil to smooth ends.
This keeps your blowout fresh for up to a week — with zero extra effort.
