  "account": "Maddie Johnson, a 30-year-old attorney and business affairs executive, has embraced the routine of getting professional blowouts every five days to save time and feel more confident. She previously washed and styled her hair at home daily but now goes to Drybar, a salon, for her hair appointments. This change has resulted in significant time savings, better productivity, and improved professional image. Maddie spends around $300 a month on blowouts, which used to cost her $315 before she discovered a better deal. She considers her blowouts a luxury and a way to bring back the common practice of weekly salon visits.",
