Holy cow: An entrepreneur is looking to put hair-straightening flat iron "vending machines" in nightclub bathrooms. The NY Sun reports that with flat-hair-for-pay already a hit in London nightclub loos, David Ganulan has bought $50,000 of them from Beautiful Vending (the Scottish company that developed the concept) and has been talking to some very interested clubs. The NYC hair straightening might be priced at $1 for a 1 minute use (it's £1 for 90 seconds across the pond).
While we know that some women would love to be able to fix any errant hair frizz while out on the town, we're very afraid of what wasted clubgoers might do with the hot tongs. Still, we admire this idea a lot, because it actually has a lot of potential for event spaces. Would you be interested in straightening your hair at the club?

yeah... searing hot tools with drunk people... good idea.
why not have steel rods roasting in coal fired barrels at the customers disposal just in case a fist fight breaks out.
is that sanitary? i guess the heat would kill anything.
uh............
Wow, I'll totally go and iron my hair. I think it'll be popular...but guys will wonder even more why women take so long to use the rest room.
Is this even a viable idea? I mean does anyone actually carry these irons with them "just in case". Because that's what you need in order to make this idea at all financially viable.
um, girls we just don't care and if you spend too much time in the bathroom, we may just go off and thump someone else.
weird and a little gross in my opinion. i would definitely not use them - i have curly hair and it'd cost me as much as bottle service by the time i finished.
I can smell the stink of burnt hair now mmmmmm!
I think personal grooming should be done in one's personal space - the bathroom at home, not a public restroom. Public restroom grooming should be limited to applying lipstick.
here's an idea:
reusable toothbrushes, handwipes and sanitary napkins.
Skeevy. Also, it'd cost me a fortune, even just to do a quick patch-up after straightening at home. My hair doesn't like to cooperate.
Also, skeevy.
Plus, straightening != de-frizzing. At least, not for my hair. I sincerely wish it worked that way.
sup?
They should let you trim your toenails on the dancefloor.
what they should invest in is disposable toilet seat covers.
but at least the hair straighteners are good for whenever I happen to get into a fight at a club, I'll just direct them to the bathroom:)
I would have, until I got my hair cut at Devachan. I don't flatten my curls anymore!
Like totally. But shouldn't there be a curler in case I like change my mind? There should totally be a curler.
this would only work in a civilized society like japan. We are fucking animals.
I question how sanitary it is also. Perhaps the heat would kill the lice on the tongs but what about the handle, etc. Naw, I would pass.
Lawsuit waiting to happen.
i actually think it's a good idea. men may laugh, but the business person who started this is going to make a lot of money.
i better not have to wait in line with a full bladder while some girl flattens her hair- these must be for multi-stall bathrooms only, right?
LOVE THE IDEA. tired of getting it done at salons or doing it myself and having it curling a bit at the club esp the bangs and the hair touching the back of my neck, although i dont think its too sanitaryy but the idea is ingenious!
