A feature of the Memorial District for four years, Brush & Blush is a luxury beauty bar that has garnered a reputation for a great blow out, expert make up applications and luxury touches.
Bright and open, the salon has luxury elements and a sweet charm: clean lines and lavender accents, Glamcor Makeup Mirrors and massaging shampoo chairs.
When owner Greer McDonald decided to open her own business after a career in nursing, she sought to provide more than a good hairstyle. Whether making up a high school student for prom, styling NFL wives staying at the nearby Westin or giving a paraplegic a comfortable space to be pampered, part of Greer’s focus has been making every client feel welcome, treated and beautiful.
She adds, “What separates from most other blow dry bars is that we do make up as well and we retail high-end make up.” Each brand that Brush & Blush carries is well thought out from makeup by Kevyn Aucion to hair products by Living Proof.
Beyond serving customers, Greer has created a community among her team and works hard to provide a supportive environment. She says, “When you use Brush & Blush you really are supporting local business. We’re not a chain … Really, every dollar spent goes toward someone’s ballet lessons, someone’s first home, supporting women and their children.”
Services include blowouts and hairstyles, split end repair and deep condition treatments, Brazilian blow-out, extension, and makeup application from red carpet to timeless everyday looks. Want to create your own professional makeup look at home? Sign up for a one-on-one or group makeup class.
Brush & Blush also comes to you for onsite styles and makeup for weddings, parties and events. Or host your own private event at the salon.
