Cue the confetti and hot pink glitter! Blo Blow Dry Bar, the beauty franchise that is a leader in the blow dry bar category, announces that it has hit a major milestone with the recent sale of its 100th Blo franchise.
Blo Blow Dry Bar offers beautifully styled hair and exceptional customer experiences seven days a week. Blo reinvigorated the salon industry in 2007 when they launched the “no cuts, no color” concept with their very first location in Canada. Since then they have grown to over 100 franchise locations and continue to expand quickly.
“We are so thrilled to reach this important milestone which so few franchise systems ever achieve," says Blo CEO, Vanessa Yakobson, who has grown the number of franchises 120% since taking the role of CEO in 2016.
"Thanks to our dedicated franchise partners, our amazing guests, and our passionate head office team, we have reached this key benchmark. We are now better positioned than ever before for strong growth ahead."
Blo’s low-cost franchise opportunity delivers a simple business model, intensive training programs, and ongoing support from their head-office team. No hair or beauty experience is needed to become a Blo franchise owner.
A female-led business, Blo’s locations see strong year-over-year growth as this fast-growing beauty category attracts customers with convenient, affordable blow outs. Additional revenue streams are available through a range of Blo Beauty Services and carefully selected retail products. Blo is seeking single-unit and multi-unit operators across the US and Canada, and expect to reach 500 locations within the next few years.
