Need to catch up with a friend over a drink while getting your hair done? [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]

Blow+Bar, Singapore's lifestyle grooming bar that serves wine with hair services, has opened its first store in China at Beijing's Sanlitun 3.3 Mall.

You can now get your hair done while chilling with friends over a glass of bubbly like what celebrities do. Blow+Bar aims to break traditional salon boundaries of being a place people go just for their grooming needs, and instead be a place where people want to go to hang out.

"We believe that grooming should be hassle free," said Ashley Soh, founder of Blow+Bar. "Instead of being something that had to be done, grooming can be something women look forward to and a lot of fun."

Set in a bar environment, Blow+Bar is an ideal place for busy urban multi-taskers with little time to get their hair done, including Soh herself, a 34-year-old mother-of-two.

Guests are encouraged to have a glass of complimentary bubbly or wine to relax while getting their hair done. There is also free coffee, tea and soft drink to choose from.

The social setting of Blow+Bar also makes it an ideal place for girl's night out, private events, corporate retreats and birthday parties. In fact, Blow+Bar has hosted hundreds of private parties in Singapore and Jakarta in the past four years. It currently has two stores in Singapore and one in Jarkata with a new one opening in December.

Blow+Bar offers full hair services from treatment, haircuts to perms. Makeup and nail services will be available soon for a one stop shop.
