I coincidentally had ClassPass credits to use, and I needed to get my hair done before I traveled, so this was the perfect pairing. I scheduled my appointment through the ClassPass app. I scheduled an appointment for a blowout with the Olaplex treatment. I have been using Olaplex for a few years now, and I like their products. I parked in the back of the building with many warning signs about towing. I walked into the salon about 5 minutes before my appointment. I was seated for a couple of minutes before the stylist came to get me. My hair was shampooed, treated with the Olaplex treatment and conditioned. My hair was then blow dried and styled. Sadly, when I washed my hair , I noticed my hair texture was compromised. I've washed my hair three times since, and my hair still has a smell of chemicals. The stylist did a good job, read more

Liv is awesome and loved the blow out! Always great quality when she does my hair. Very relaxing !

Had blowout (with volume) with Vida, she was awesome! I will definitely request her in the future

Taye did an amazing job blowing out and doing a big curl in my long heavy hair. I want to thank the new receptionist who saw Tay was running a little late and put my mind at ease that he would be right with me. I had suggested to her that she should call the next customer to let them know that they would be running a little bit late because of my long heavy hair. She took my advice and did that which was incredible customer service to the next client. Not only did she take care of the next customer she gave me a $10 coupon for my next blowout because Tay was running a little bit late. This is what I call customer service at its best! I will definitely return to Blow Dry Bar. read more

I had such a great experience at Blo Blow Dry Bar! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was upbeat, clean, and welcoming. The stylist took the time to ask about the look I wanted and offered thoughtful suggestions based on my hair type and the occasion. My blowout turned out exactly how I envisioned -- smooth, full of volume, and it held beautifully for days. I especially appreciated the attention to detail and how efficient the appointment was without feeling rushed. If you're looking for a reliable place for a polished blowout for an event or just a confidence boost, I highly recommend Blo. I'll definitely be back! read more

Used ClassPass. Very happy with Liv's blowout and great conversation. The business is very clean and had a nice vibe. Will be back!

Taye does an amazing job giving my hair volume and natural bounce. I highly recommend him!

Went to a wedding and did research online. Thank goodness the research was true to the service. Place is very nice, everyone was pleasant and we were pleased with our hair and make up service. Will definitely be back when we go visit again. read more

I had the best time getting a blow out from Shawn! He did an amazing job working with my pin straight hair, and I left with beautiful curls and volume. Jo and her team here are the best, can't recommend them enough! read more

Do not go here if you want your makeup artist to actually show up. I had a hair/makeup appointment here at 3 pm for family photos at 6. At 4 pm, when my stylist was finishing my hair, I was informed that my makeup artist was not coming. They did not have anyone else to cover for her and their only solution was to offer me $10 off my hair service. My hair stylist was great but the lack of accountability of my makeup stylist and the business overall is such that I will not be returning and would dissuade anyone else who had an important event from doing the same. read more

My daughter had a blow out after getting a scalp massage somewhere else so her hair was oily. This location was great! On time, washed thoroughly and a great volume blow dry! read more

Went for an updo for a gala event this evening. It fell out within the hour. I huge waist of money. After owner connected with me. A follow up wash and blow dry results were great. Owners responsiveness and interest in making things right 5 stars read more

I have been a member of Blo Charlotte for several years and once I find a stylist that I love, She is gone! It is definitely a revolving door of talent! Alisha Hammond is a ROCK STAR!!! Her wash is 5 star and her style equally matches her personality, Fine and Fabulous! Her personality is contagious!! The staff is also amazing with Jessica the front desk greeter leading the pack in making you feel special! Cierra is also fabulous as a stylist!!! Small things in life make a HUGE difference and Alisha is a rare jewel that shines bright with her caring nature, big heart and amazing TALENT!!! read more

Maci offers outstanding service and hair care recommendations, depending on hair type. The scalp massage she provided was exceptional.

DO NOT GO HERE. My hair looks terrible. A friend is currently fixing it even though i went back in there to have it fixed. A few things: 1) The front desk ladies are wonderful but everyone else acts like you are an inconvenience & they rush to get your hair done 2) The guy dropped the curling iron and burnt the shit out of my head and didn't even ask if i was okay 3) All of us are having to fix our hair and so we wasted money. Terrible vibes read more

I'm glad I happened across Blo. It's essentially next door to Clean Catch Fish Market which I go to weekly so one day I went in before a night out and was warmly greeted by Anna. I got the basic wash and style. I have curly/wavy hair with quite an oily scalp but this hair lasted me three days which is saying something. And it stayed as straight as she made it all throughout which is also saying something even louder since, well, you know...this is humid and warm NC. I even took the new hair to the lake and it looked great after that too. Another note worth mentioning is you will be in and out in about 30 minutes! I've been twice now and she wrapped up in 25. That is impressive I think. Sometimes takes longer than that at the car wash. read more

I totally recommend Bri and/or Maria. I have been here a few times now for myself and my daughter and our hair came out great. the service is quick and efficient. read more

What a great find! I'm visiting Charlotte for the weekend and was able to get a last minute appointment. Everyone is so friendly here - great energy! Faith took great care of me - wash and blow out. read more

Went in for a blowout, scalp massage, and braid service that I booked about a month ago with a friend. We were running 15 minutes late (traveling 40 minutes from SC and stuck behind an accident) but I called the desk and they said it wouldn't be an issue, they'd simply remove the scalp massage to make up the time. I agreed and we continued on to our appointments. When we arrived, we were separated by a wall with 2 different stylists. I'm not sure I ever got my stylists name. We both requested the same style from the style book and got vastly different blow outs. My hair is straight to my ears and then spiral curled and the blow out I selected was big beachy waves with volume. I had 2 different styles on my head. Not ideal to have to come home after a blowout to fix my hair for family photos in an hour! The braid I booked was never offered and I have to assume not communicated to the stylist by reception. I didn't mind giving the scalp massage up for our tardiness assuming they were booked, but there was only 1 other person in the salon when we left and it seems we could have been accommodated. I didn't get a friendly vibe from the staff and although I'm not one to judge appearances, there was a lack of professional dress in the salon as well. Perhaps a bad day, but not a good experience for my first time and I don't think I'll be going back. read more

I've come here quite a bit the last couple of years. And Melissa is amazing!! I have thick natural curly hair and she can always get my in and out in an hour. 1 hour 15 mins max! Always happy with my hair! Be mindful if you're late to your appt they will have to reschedule or you will be charged. read more

I enjoyed my time getting my hair done and I was excited to see my curls after them being blown out, curled with an iron, and set. Unfortunately, after they came out my hair was stick straight and I couldn't feel I could say anything because my stylist was very excited with the outcome. I had been emailing (asking about a different style) and them told them I came in and was disappointed, and they were nice to offer an appointment with a higher up stylist, but even in that case I don't think spending another $45 on hair that may or may not get any curl is worth it. Customer service 4/5, but my hair was a 1/5. Only thi read more

I was unable to get an appointment at a different blow dry bar so I decided to give Blo in Charlotte a try. I had a horrible experience. 1. My stylist maybe said 5 words to me. 2. The hair washing is supposed to be the most relaxing part, but it almost felt like she was going to rip my head off! 3. I probably mentioned at least three times that my hair would not hold curls with a round brush and she still used a round brush. 4. She literally spent MAYBE 25 minutes washing and styling my hair and I have A LOT of hair. The curls fell out within an hour. I had to curl my hair into a bun and keep it up for four hours hoping there would be some curls left for my maternity pictures. There were barely any curls left. I don't know if I was her last client of the day or what, but I would never recommend or return to this location. read more

Updating because I think the management has changed and I really like this place now. Easy to get an appointment with the app. I love getting my hair blown out. The energy level is now very good and the welcome is friendly. They also do a good job trying to meet your needs if you need to make a change. I always come here go get my hair party ready. read more

Had a really great experience getting an updo for a themed party. My hairstylist really nailed it.

The stylists vary. Some are good and others are ok but you can't really request a preferred stylist with their online system. You can put it in the notes Of the reservation, but I'll find that they don't read. And you don't really know your preferred stylist is working. I had a monthly membership and I hardly recall having the same stylist more than once or twice. Speaking of monthly membership, when I joined, it included a monthly gift of product. But usually they ran out of the gifts. I haven't received one since November (it's April now). I asked about it recently and they said they stopped doing it. However, the price of my membership didn't go down. If you are five - ten minutes late they will only do a dry style which generally isn't very good if your hair needs to be washed. However, They don't mind keeping you waiting if they are running behind. Doesn't seem like a fair policy. It's really too bad because I really liked the convenience of the location and the owner is a church friend. Luckily, there are other blow dry bars in Charlotte. read more

This was my first Blo Bar experience and Chantel was so professional and made me feel at home. 10/10 experience, would recommend!

The staff are super friendly and just the right amount of chatty, the music selection is peppy (albeit top 40), and they have WINE. I like my blowout and think their current "back to work" special is a great price for future visits. I wish their regular blowouts were a wee bit cheaper (my favorite salons only charge $25-30), but generally they seem like a safe bet for special occasions or days when you just don't feel like doing your hair. However, their stylists vary in talent when it comes to curling. Some of the ladies did wonders with a curling iron or flat iron, and others just created weird little ringlets instead of the Jessica Simpson hair people were looking to have. Whoops! Their hours are lacking a little (what about us workin' ladies who want a little pampering around 7 PM on a weeknight?), but they'll stay open late by appointment during the week! read more

Blo Blow Dry Bar - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I had an out-of-town engagement photo shoot this past Sunday. Not only was Blo Charlotte one of the only salons open on a Sunday in Charlotte but the receptionist was very accommodating in scheduling the appointment and modifying the time. I was able to email attachments of photos that achieved the look I wanted - a sexy side-swept pin-up with bouncy curls. When I walked into the salon with my fiance, I knew the place would treat me great - modern decor and a very cool vibe. To boot, they had printed out the photos I had attached. I wish I knew my hairstylist's name (she had hot pink short hair), maybe Tara? She was incredible. She was patient, a terrific listener, and very sweet. She had over 13 years of experience working with hair. She blow-dried my pre-washed hair with steam, used an iron to achieve the curls I wanted, and created the perfect look - all with her go-to products, brush, and bobby pins. I told the hairstylist I wished I could take her with me back to my hometown (Virginia) for my wedding day next summer. Such a bummer. Thank you for a wonderful and elegant finish on the look I wanted... would love to go back. read more

Blo Blow Dry Bar - Side swept do in the making - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I just left this quaint place. I was greeted and checked in. My hair looks and feels so much better. I was styled by Neava. I hope that's how it's spelled. She worked through my natural hair and extensions very well. My hair had so much volume and life now. I will be back. My total was $60 because of the extensions which I'm not really sure why it's more since I was in and out before the girl next to me whose hair was much thicker than mine. But whatever, it turned out great. read more

I love this place. I always stop in to have my hair done here while I'm in town. They're easy to find, quick and for $30 totally worth it. They always curl my super fine hair and the curls last all night, without too much product. The only downfall is the receptionist. She's always such a jerk. My friend and I were THREE minutes late and she cancelled our appointments. After throwing a tantrum she finally let us proceed. read more

Great location and service. I love going from curly to straight and they make it so easy. Pretty amazed at how they can give hair great body with just a round brush. I made appt for same day visit. read more

I always have a great experience when I come here. No matter what stylist I get they always do a great job. Hunter at the front, I think that's his name, is so accommodating and always makes sure I'm in the best care. Highly recommend this place, they give amazing blowouts ! read more

Blo took amazing care of our 11 person party for our NYE wedding. Despite it being a busy holiday, they had us in and out and looking fabulous ahead of schedule. Everyone felt and looked beautiful and the day ran perfectly smoothly. Jo takes great care of the scheduling and communication. I am so thankful we chose Blo for our wedding day. Special shot out to Anna who does amazing work and is so sweet! read more

Updating my review because the owner personally reached out in a timely manner and truly seemed to want to apologize and make the best of the situation. I understand mistakes and things happen and I appreciate when people take accountability and try to make things better. Thank you Jo! read more

This is an update on the review I made on November 4, 2022: The owner reached out after reading my initial post concerning the service I received. She took the time to see what happened and explained what should have occurred. Because of this I have changed my rating. read more

I have been wanting to check out Blo ever since I went with my friend to the location in Raleigh, as she got her hairdone for one of her wedding events. I set up an appointment Friday at 5 cause my hubby and I were going out to celebrate our 5 year anniversary and I figured it was a great excuse for some pampering and to look cute! I immediately was escorted to a chair where we chatted about my hair and events for the evening. Side note: My stylist never introduced herself so I do not know her name....I didnt even realize this until I left. We decided on a blow out with a bit of curl. After a wash, my stylist really took her time blowing it out. (I guess that is part of the point of coming here....right!). She also curled it using a straighter and gave me a few tips when I asked about curling. I loved that she asked if i minded hair spray. Of course I don't mind....spray me down! However, I could see some people not loving it (The spray really wasnt that sticky). Absolutely loved my hair and the way it fell. Additionally, over the weekend it maintained it's awesomeness! She was very thorough and gave me exactly what I was looking for. Two downsides: 1. I am gonna sound like a prude for saying this but I really wanted some bubbles or a mimosa and was never offered anything (unlike previous reviewers). 2. I was literally the chair right beside the check in. It was just super loud and a bit distracting...mainly cause there was a large group of young girls (really, why the heck do 7 year olds need a blow out is beyond me) running around. literally. Overall, I will absolutely be back when I need a cute hair style! read more

Updating this review since I have had more experience here. I started out going to Tara. The first time I had her, I didn't love what she did and she listened to my feedback and went over my hair again with a flat iron to fix it. I stuck with her since. One day over the holidays, I made a mistake of not booking specifically with Tara and got Yaz. Terrible experience. She was clearly in a rush, which doesn't really work with my thick and long hair. I stopped her halfway through and assured her that my hair was going to be a frizzy mess if she didn't work in smaller segments. She overreacted quickly and told me that she would have to switch me to another stylist BUT to be aware that she was the head trainer at this location and that everyone does it the same way. First of all, I know my hair better than anyone and know what it needs. Second of all, the immediate attitude wasn't necessary. She could have taken my feedback and adjusted course (like Tara had done). I didn't write a complaint about her highly unprofessional behavior, thinking she was just having a bad day. I vowed only to schedule with Tara from here on out. Today I showed up for my appt with Tara and was informed that she wasn't feeling well. I refused to have Yaz do my hair and the receptionist immediately raised her voice at me, telling me that I was out of luck since there were no more stylists available. The attitude from both Yaz and the receptionist was unwarranted. I have a right to choose who does my hair. Writing the owner a nice note to let her know that her customers are being mistreated for no reason. Never going back here again. read more

Brianne was fabulous! My hair looks amazing and is exactly what I wanted :) She was friendly, fun and well-experienced. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town!!! read more

I have bookmarked this place for over a year now. Waiting for a perfect time to get a blow out. Well yesterday was it. I booked my appt well over a week ago.. it was easy to get in.. talking on the phone with them can be a bit annoying due to the music but hearing all the blow drying too is a given.. no wonder they spelled and pronounce my name wrong. They had it under Taro-Lynn. Oh well. But after meeting Melissa, my care taker for that 45mins.. I was impressed. She mentioned that yes the front desk have a high turn over but most of their stylists been there since the beginning. Since 2013.. the means a lot when your main doesn't have a high turnover.. she took good care of me.. ask it all before she starts. Do you want products in your hairs? Do you mind having hairspray? (Strange? Who wouldn't? But according to her, ppl do mind! Exactly 45mins later, I have beautiful voluminous beach waves that lasted til today even when I had it in a bun since at some point it was hot as crap! Melissa will be my go too when I come back now. Nothing better than getting someone whose good at this to take care of you and you understand that you rather treat yourself and let the professional help you look your best! read more

Blo Blow Dry Bar - View from the waiting area! - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The bride of the wedding set up our appointments, with 10 of us needing hair and 6 or so needing makeup. I arrived around 10:30 for my 10:45 appointment. Fortunately, I was being dropped off because parking is a challenge - there aren't a lot of spots and several are awkwardly positioned perpendicular and close to the main road. When I checked in, they were dealing with at least 2 other wedding parties, and there was quite the noisy conversation to make sure they knew who I was and I knew where to be. They were friendly, just dealing with a lot. I was offered sparkling wine, and then found my group to wait for my appointment. I don't wear a watch, and I was with friends, so I wasn't paying attention to the wait at that time. Seely (I hope I spelled that right) was my stylist. She took me to the chair, asked me what I wanted, when I'd last shampooed, etc. I said that I didn't need the wash and said that I was game with anything as long as there was a little bit of swoop over the forehead (mine is huge and my creases are only getting deeper, so I try to cover at least a little). She spun me around to work, explaining that during the week they never have to be next to each other, but Saturdays are jam packed for weddings. She did a great job! The do was beautiful, and the bobby pins were so secure that it only took one adjustment 8 hours later after an hour of dancing to keep it looking fresh. The few downsides I noticed - there is only 1 bathroom, so the line gets long on Saturdays. The woman doing makeup was taking time to make it perfect, and consequently, those appointments were way behind schedule. And lastly, with the bride making the reservations and/or paying for some of the services, there was often confusion about who's paying what. They patiently, professionally, and cordially work through it all, but be prepared for things to be a tad hectic on a Saturday. read more
