You know, just your typical night out: You break it down on the dance floor, pausing only to refill your Bacardi Diet and to re-straighten your hair in the bathroom. (I wish.) But in the UK, party-goers can primp mid-party with "Straight Up"—wall-mounted, "community" straighteners propped in 700+ bars, clubs, gyms and malls—making that tumbleweed dance do' a thing of the past. Just imagine the concept of a payphone, but with a straightener; for $2, you can use the iron for 90 seconds, anytime you need a tressy touch-up, and then pass it on to fellow frizzy friends. Germs apparently aren't an issue either: Beautiful Vending, the company behind Straight Up, says the irons' 200 degree temperature makes bacteria-swaping impossible. "They couldn't be any more bacteria-free," co-founder Neil Mackay insists. So, a brilliant idea that could do incredibly well this side of the pond, too? Certainly sounds like it. Let's just hope those perfume-pushing bathroom employees don't try to help with hair now, too.
