THE
BIG TEASE

Attention Athenian ladies: the answer to your hair prayers is here. We all have those moments when we long for the professionally blown out, perfectly curled hairstyles on the front of magazines, and with Tease, Athens’ first dry bar, opening downtown last month, your waiting and wishing is over. These trendy dry bars, allow clients to enjoy the hair salon experience and gab with their friends at the same time. Upon walking into Tease, women of drinking age are offered a complimentary glass of champagne or wine, and then get comfortable at the bar-style chairs for one of the salon’s speciality blowouts, like the “straightforward” or the “runaround”. Clients can watch movies on big-screen TVs or simply enjoy the lively background music that mimics a bar atmosphere. While spending the day downtown back in January, owners (and UGA Alumni) Alyssa House and Amy Culbertson realized that ladies needed a more social environment to pamper themselves in, before heading out for an event.
This is a fun and different way for ladies to pre-game before going downtown for the night or going to a football game,
says House. However, ladies under the age of 21 can come to the salon and enjoy their beauty services as well. So if you want to be the “big tease” of the day, schedule an appointment with the lovely stylists at Tease.
