A New Spin on Girls Night Out

My friends and I are always looking for new adventures. Our lives are very hectic (and most of us live in different cities), so we decided that we should plan a girls-only trip to Las Veags for some R&R. On our first day there, we went to the spa at the Paris to relax and refresh before hitting a few clubs later that evening. As I was sitting in my fluffy white robe and enjoying my friends' company, I had an idea. NoVA needs a place to go where girlfriends can laugh, relax, and get beautiful before hitting the town. Although girls night out (GNO) events are very popular in places like NYC and LA, I haven't heard of anyone hosting them in NoVA. So when I got back, I started researching local salons. After a long search, I finally found what I was looking for in the
Modern Concepts Salon in Ashburn, Virginia.

Together with the owner (the super-stylish and sweet Eviania Davey), we have formed a partnership to enable women to put together unique evening of fun and glamour for groups of all sizes. Need a hairstyle makeover and new makeup tips? We've got you covered. The styling teams from both of our companies, we customize private "Girls' Night Out" parties based on customer specifications.

Eviania's hair stylists and manicurists, along with my professional makeup artists and skincare consultants, act as a team to make GNO guests feel pampered and gorgeous. The parties have been a big hit with bachelorette parties, proms, reunions, or for mothers planning a special evening with their daughters.

If you're frugal like me, you're probably thinking that a night like this could put a big dent in your wallet. But actually, that's not true. All of the services are offered a la carte at a group rate AND you and your friends get full run of the salon. You can even bring your own music. How fun is that? I'm going to host one for my friends over the summer. We can't wait for our next GNO!
