History
Blo Blow Dry Bar launched in 2007 with a fresh idea that reshaped the beauty industry: fast, affordable blowouts, no cuts, no color. The concept filled a white space in the market, making salon-quality styling accessible to women seeking consistent results and a polished look without the typical salon commitment.
After early traction and strong consumer demand, Blo began franchising in 2009. Today, the brand has grown to 165+ locations across the U.S. and Canada, with new units continuing to open in prime markets.
As the original blow dry bar concept in North America, Blo remains a category pioneer. Its steady expansion is fueled by strong brand recognition, customer loyalty, and a scalable model built to support multi-unit growth. With a full franchise system, flexible ownership paths, and a focus on support, Blo continues to attract franchise partners who want to invest in a proven, stylish concept with long-term potential.
