Mironov, a seasoned stylist and Park Sloper since 1997, opened Suds four years ago across the street in a smaller space. Now it has a full massage room, and offers pay-by-the-minute massages, a touch-therapy skin treatment massage, hairstyling, body-waxing and detoxifying skin treatments. Fellas, should you walk away with this prize, you always have the option of a simple trim and scalp treatment.

And with its late hours, there’ll be no more having to sneak out of work (or wherever) to make your raffle-won beauty appointment. Slope Suds is open ’til 9 on Tuesdays and ’til 8 from Wednesday to Saturday—so really whenever you need it most.

The First Annual Brokelyn Charity Ball will be held June 10 from 7 to 11 at at Night Owl in Williamsburg, 160 N. 4th St. at Bedford Ave. Coming? Let us know by RSVPing in the Facebook page, where you can also see all the other fine prizes.

Just a reminder that today is Farrah Hair Day at one of our favorite beauty spots, the Beehive Salon in Williamsburg, where you can get a Farrah Fawcett blowout for $50. That sounds like a lot, and yeah it kind of is, but not when the salon is giving half of it to Sanctuary for Families, a New York state group that helps victims of domestic abuse. You may be broke (and you may not be) but that’s no excuse to 1) neglect good causes and 2) not have Farrah Hair. If you get a blowout at the Beehive today, you might even get your picture on Brokelyn, because we’re going to be taking before and afters!

And if you can’t make it to the Beehive, Slope Suds in Park Slope has the same deal all month—blowouts for $50—but they’re giving half of their proceeds to the American Cancer Society, a charity Farrah supported. And if you don’t have fifty bucks? You can still rock a Farrah with our amazing DIY Farrah blowout.

To demonstrate, we took ordinary 25-year-old Park Sloper Emily Uecker (okay, really beautiful Park Sloper Emily Uecker), and had Texas, a singly named stylist at Slope Suds, perform a Farrah-style blowout that one could repeat at home. This technique doesn’t require any special equipment beyond a decent-sized roller brush (at least two inches) and a curling iron. Here’s the pre-Farrah photo of Emily, who works as an editorial assistant at a snazzy Manhattan media company:

STEP #1: WASH AND SECTION
Texas says you don’t need any special conditioners or anything, but there is one secret to doing a good blowout at home: “Patience,” she says. After washing and conditioning the hair, apply a handful of volumizing mousse (Texas likes the Davines brand), especially to the roots, then clip hair into four sections to keep the damp hair of the way.  Leave a one- to two-inch strip at the bottom, which is where you’ll start drying. Why the back? If you begin at the front, your arms might get too tired and you might decide to leave the back wet. Patience.

STEP #2: THE DIRTY WORK
Here you do your standard blowout: wrap hair around roller brush, aim hair dryer at section, pull tightly. Never grab so much hair it flies off the brush when you hit it with the dryer, and always use a nozzle because it prevents frizz. When you do the top,  lift the hair straight up and point the nozzle at the roots to get some height. Like yay:

STEP #3 THE SIDES
When you get to the front/sides, angle the brush and pull it out in sort of an arc shape, as if you were doing the breast stroke with your hair.

Emily tries it. Watch that brush angle, Emily!

STEP #4: THE TOP
Here, you basically continue the technique you used on the sides, pulling the hair across the head to help give it Farrah-like height on top.

STEP 4: THE CURLING IRON
Here’s where things get tricky. Use the biggest barrel you can find, pull forward and roll back at an angle like so. Only iron a third of the way up the hair. If you go all the way to the top, you’ll get curls all over, and we’re saving that technique for the DIY Bernadette Peters blowout. Use a medium-hold hairspray to keep the flips in place, before and after curling. Use amply and often.

STEP 5: BE GORGEOUS
That’s not hard for our volunteer, who also had her makeup done by Elke at Slope Suds. Want to try it at home? In honor of Farrah Hair Month, we’re having our own contest—and the winner gets $75 in beauty products from Davines. So why not give the roller brush a whirl? Send your before-and-after photos by July 15 to Farrah@brokelyn.com.

As if that weren’t enough of a contribution to the betterment of society, two Brooklyn salons are offering Farrah blowouts to raise money for the lion-haired legend’s pet causes.

On Friday, July 10, The Beehive Salon in Williamsburg is doing an event called “Feathers for Farrah,” a full-day of $50 Farrah-style blowouts. Half of the proceeds will go to Sanctuary for Families, a New York state group that helps victims of domestic abuse, a cause close to Farrah’s heart.

And through the end of the month, Park Slope’s SlopeSuds is also offering $50 Farrah blowouts, with half of their proceeds going to the American Cancer Society, a charity Farrah supported.

You can’t go wrong at either one—especially not if you send us a photo of yourself winging it Farrah-style. We’ve decided to do our own Farrah tribute: a Brokelyn Best Farrah Hair Contest. The winner gets $75 worth of Davines products. (You can also enter with a DIY Farrah blowout too.) Send pics here by July 15. And yep, we’re gonna run ‘em.
