blo blow dry bar

Blo Blow Dry Bar is a godsend! For most of my life I’ve had short hair, but have recently decided to grow it out. This decision would not have been possible without the lovely services of Blo, Canada’s only blow dry bar. My hair is thick, curly, and unruly. There’s no way in hell I’m going to blow dry and straighten this ‘fro’ myself!
If you haven’t heard of Blo you’re missing out. They market themselves as, “no cuts, no colour: just WASH-BLOW-GO.” For about 30 dollars and 30 minutes your hair is washed and styled to perfection. You can choose from a list of seven hair styles off the Blo menu – for me it’s usually a wash and blow.
The first Blo bar opened in June 2007 and has branched out to three locations in Vancouver, with many more planned to open up across the country. Blo is a unique service that really fills a hole in the beauty industry. Time was you’d have to go to your hair salon and pay major bucks for this service. And don’t think you have to wait for a special event to get your hair did because Blo is super affordable. The best part is telling your friends you just had a ‘blo job!’ But be warned it’s addictive – I go twice a month! For more information on what Blo Blow Dry Bar has to offer visit www.blomedry.com.
