Nu Image Medspa is where to get a blowout in Lutz, FL — a professional wash-and-style that smooths, shapes and adds volume with heat, with no cut and no chemicals. Located at 3939 Cheval Blvd (just off N Dale Mabry Hwy near Cheval, Steinbrenner High School and Gaither High School), it pairs a licensed stylist with the clean standard of a medical spa. A Shampoo & Blowdry starts at $35, and special-occasion styling at $90.
Because a blowout is a temporary style, Florida humidity is the deciding factor: A Nu Image blowout is sectioned, set with a cool shot and finished with anti-humidity product so it holds for days, not hours. Want lasting smoothing instead? That’s a keratin treatment, not a blowout. It’s also the only salon in the area inside a medical spa, so you can pair a blowout with a facial or Botox® before an event. Serving Lutz, Cheval, Carrollwood, Northdale, Odessa, Land O’ Lakes and Wesley Chapel. Call 813.949.3300.
The word “blowout” gets attached to four very different things, so it’s worth being clear about which one you’re booking. A standard blowout — the service on this page — is a shampoo plus a brushed blow-dry, styled smooth, full or wavy with heat and finishing products. It’s temporary, uses no chemicals, and washes out with your next shampoo.
A Brazilian blowout is something else entirely: A chemical smoothing treatment in the keratin family that cuts frizz for months. That’s a treatment, not a styling appointment — at Nu Image it lives under our keratin smoothing service. A Dominican blowout is a specific wash, roller-set and blow-dry technique built for smooth, bouncy volume. And the “blowout fade” or “blowout taper” people search for is a men’s haircut, not a styling service — you’ll find that on our haircuts page.
If what you want is to walk out with your hair washed, smoothed and styled for an event or just a good-hair week — that’s the blowout below.
A blowout is, at its core, a temporary truce with your hair’s natural texture — heat and tension coax the cuticle flat and hold it there. The problem is that moisture undoes exactly that, and Tampa Bay air is heavy with it: Dew points sit in the 70s for months at a stretch. Step out of an air-conditioned salon into that, and an unsealed blowout starts reverting on the walk to the car. The “why did it fall flat by lunch?” story is the single most common blowout complaint in this market, and it’s almost always a finishing problem, not a hair problem.
A blowout that survives a Lutz afternoon is built, not just dried. Our stylists work in clean sections with proper tension, dry the cuticle truly flat, lock it with a cool-shot set, and seal it with anti-humidity finishing product rather than just hairspray. Realistically, that buys you about three to five days here — less if you’re sweating through a workout or in and out of the pool — and we’ll show you how to wrap it at night to stretch it further.
If you’re fighting frizz week after week, a blowout is treating the symptom. The lasting fix is a smoothing treatment: A keratin treatment actually changes how your hair behaves in humidity for weeks at a time, so your day-to-day blow-dry is faster and far more reliable. Many clients do one keratin service a season and book blowouts in between for events.
There’s a reason blowouts spike around galas in Cheval, weddings, reunions and photo days across North Tampa — nobody wants to gamble their own flat iron against August humidity before a 6 p.m. event. Because Nu Image is a salon inside a medical spa, you can get the blowout and prep your skin — a facial, dermaplaning or Botox® — in the same trip, on the same trusted team.

Anyone can point a dryer at wet hair. Whether a blowout lasts five days or collapses in the parking lot comes down to the parts you can’t see — the prep, the sectioning, the tension, and the cool-shot set that locks the cuticle before Florida humidity can lift it. Reading how your hair will behave in this air takes years at the chair, which is exactly what Karen brings. It all happens inside Nu Image, a Lutz practice trusted for 20+ years with a 4.7-star reputation, so you can prep your hair and your skin for the same event in one stop.

Karen is a master stylist whose finishing work is shaped by decades of NYC hair shows, seminars and in-house training. She reads each head of hair before she ever picks up the dryer, then sets a blowout to behave the way you want it to — smooth, full, and built for the climate it has to survive.
The all-important consultation is the hallmark of her work, so the finish suits your hair, your event and your routine. Clients love her sunny, upbeat chair-side energy.
Your hair, your occasion, and how long you need it to hold — smooth, full or wavy.
A shampoo plus heat protectant and the right volumizing or smoothing prep for your hair.
Dried in sections with tension for a smooth cuticle and lasting body and movement.
A cool-shot set and anti-humidity finish so the style holds up in Florida air.

A Shampoo & Blowdry (a standard blowout) starts at $35, and special-occasion styling such as updos starts at $90. Final pricing depends on your hair length and thickness, confirmed before the appointment. We also run new salon specials every month.
Usually about 3–5 days, though humidity, sweat and pool or lake water shorten it — a blowout is a temporary heat-set style, not a chemical treatment. We section, set with a cool shot and finish with anti-humidity product to make it hold longer. For weeks of real humidity resistance, a keratin treatment is the better option.
No. A blowout is a temporary wash-and-style done with heat and brushes — no chemicals — and it washes out. A Brazilian blowout is a chemical smoothing treatment, in the keratin family, that reduces frizz for months. If lasting smoothing is the goal, ask about a keratin treatment rather than a blowout.
A Dominican blowout combines a wash, a roller set and a blow-dry to create smooth, bouncy volume. A standard blowout — the service we offer — is a shampoo plus a brushed blow-dry styled to your finish. Both are temporary, and neither uses chemicals.
No. A blowout is a wash and style only, with no cutting, so you can book it on its own for an event or a midweek reset, or add it to a cut or color. (The men’s “blowout fade” or “blowout taper” is a haircut, not this service — see our haircuts page.)
Yes — special-occasion styling and updos from $90 for weddings, galas, photos and events. Because we’re a salon inside a medical spa, you can also prep your hair and your skin in the same visit, which makes us a convenient pre-event stop.
Yes. Nu Image is the only salon in the area inside a medical spa, so you can pair a blowout with a facial, dermaplaning, Botox® or another treatment and handle hair and skin in one trip — ideal before an event.
