Nashville based hairstylist Deidre Heid has spent half of her fourteen year career strictly focusing on blowouts and styling. She launched The Blowout Academy after realizing she not only has a passion for making women look and feel their best, but also loves sharing what she's learned along the way with other stylists. "It took me about two years and hundreds of blowouts on all different hair types to finally perfect my technique, but I'm so confident in the longevity, speed and end result of the way I teach a blowout that I want every other hair stylist in the world to learn!" she said. 

Deidre recently co-founded The Agency of Beauty, a hair and makeup agency that employs freelance artists all different jobs, mainly focusing on weddings, photo shoots, and production work. Before that, she worked as Director of Operations for The Blowout Co. since the day it opened in 2012, which has since grown to consist of four salons across Tennessee. "I've trained almost every stylist we've hired at The Blowout Co, not only on blowouts, but also updos, braids, shampooing and overall client experience. There's so much more that goes into styling someone's hair than just giving them a blowout that lasts. I love to educate people on the entire experience, from start to finish. No matter where you are in your career, having the ability to give a really great blowout is a skill every stylist needs to possess, and they still don't teach it in school," she explains.

Since moving to Nashville, Deidre has worked hard to achieve many of her goals and keeps working to reach more. In February 2015, her work was seen on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. In 2013, she had the opportunity to style hair backstage at the Miss America pageant, which led to her first magazine cover. Her work has also been seen on www.taylorswift.com, www.self.com, www.people.com, on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry and on the red carpet at the CMT Music Awards, ASCAP Awards and Dove Awards. In July 2014, Deidre was recognized as 'Best Blowout in Nashville' by Nashville Lifestyles Magazine.

When she’s not busy making someone look beautiful, she’s usually traveling the world with her husband, Jordan or sipping champagne on a rooftop in Nashville.
