The blo out bar was bright, clean and nice. However I was extremely disappointed with my experience with Samira. I felt rushed throughout the entire appointment, and my hair did not turn out as I had requested. I had a maternity photoshoot and specifically asked for a certain style, even showing pictures to the hairstylist. She assured me that she could do it, but the final result was nothing like what I asked for. I even requested a change to how she styled my bangs, and how flat my hair looked but she refused and continued to rush through the process. I ended up waiting 10 extra minutes for my appointment and finished 5 minutes early. This was a huge letdown, especially since my hair was such an important part of my maternity photoshoot--a once-in-a-lifetime memory. I am incredibly unhappy with the outcome. My top it off : I asked for a soft, curly look, but unfortunately, the result was nothing like what I envisioned. My hair ended up extremely messy and tangled, and it didn't have any flow. The curls were all over the place, when they should have been styled to flow away from my face. It was a total disaster, and I'm really disappointed with the service. So sad with how everything turned out. read more

I cancelled the appt. You charged me for cancellation because it was less than 24 hours. I tried to give 20 hours notice but you were closed. So I was only able to cancel at 9 am for the 4pm appt. Fair enough. At 10 am I realized I could come earlier. There was an open appt but you refused to remove the cancelation charge. Not ok. Not ok at all. Very unhappy with this policy. read more

I felt rushed with only a 45 minute window and my hair looked exactly the same as when I do it myself. I felt I wasted my money and didn't have a good experience. Unless you have long thick flowing hair, save your money. read more

do not come here!! stylists are horrible, they don't listen to what style you want and cant even dry hair properly prior to styling!

Blo was an awesome find during my travels to Toronto for a wedding. Nadia did an amazing job for the reception and I got so many compliments. She is a pro so I let her make the call on the style but simply specified my must haves (up-do, no volume, sleek, stylish) and dye totally came through! read more

Fantastic service. Girls were super friendly and I looked great when I left. Lol. Highly recommend.

The Bayview Village locations offers fast, reliable and friendly service. I would recommend getting your hair done at this location. The space is on the smaller side but all the staff are pretty friendly and professional. read more

I always go to Blo when I need my hair and makeup done for an event. This time I went for hair and makeup so I could attend a ball. I received so many compliments. The staff are always friendly and professional. Great experience and already looking forward to going back! read more

Blo Blow Dry Bar - Blo Bar Blew It - Makeup Artists Near Me - North York, Ontario

I found myself lowkey stressing when I was visiting in Toronto a few months ago because my blow out from San Diego didn't last as long as I hoped so I went on yelp and I found this place. I was a little nervous, I don't have the easiest of hair to work on and I had just dyed it too. I found the place very easily and it was a cute little small salon. I was greeted right away and I waited maybe 5-6minutes before they began washing my hair. I really wish I remembered the girls name because she was amazing. She was Russian I believe, hope she still works there when I come back this summer... lol But she made my experience so great. She didn't complain about the length/thickness of my hair. She listened to how I wanted my hair parted and styled. She was nice. What more could you ask for? I was so happy leaving and my hair lasted 5 days! Can't wait to come back one day!! :) read more

I was visiting New Orleans for my birthday and decided I wanted to get my hair done. I found Blo near my hotel and booked an appointment. My service was great!! Candice listed to how I liked my hair styled and she did an amazing job!! Thank you!! read more

Had a great experience here. I got loose curls and they looked great that night. The next day my hair was pretty much flat (not sure if it was because of the humidity - not from the area) Hair got greasy the the next day too (again, I don't know if it has to do with the weather). When I've gotten my hair blown out in the past, I don't have to wash my hair for quite awhile. Not sure if the shampoo and conditioner used makes the hair more prone to getting greasy. read more

First time I was here I had a great blow out, definitely worth the money. Great service by staff. When back as I have an event and service was still good but the blow out was poorly done, supercuts quality. It didn't look good, didn't feel good and wasn't what I went for, unfortunate not enough time to get a redo. Will rethink where to go for my next service as I was not impressed this time read more

The blowout took over 45 minutes and my hair was not completely straight at the roots. My hair was frizzy an hour after I left. I've been to other locations of Blo Blow Dry and that has never happened before. They did offer to redo it the next day but couldn't work with my schedule. I don't think ill be going back to this location read more

The girls at BLO DRY BAR are not only professional, but kind, funny, entertaining and a pleasure to be around! For those of us females who have a rather hard time with hair styling, your salon has been a solution to my hair dramedy. Not to mention the fabulous team of ladies that work at the salon, who make every trip there that much more enjoyable. I am absolutely blown away by how fast, and and fun it is for me to have my hair done these days, I used to cringe at the idea of going for a blow out to a salon, but now it is a walk in the park on a spring day! Thank you lovely ladies at BLO DRY BAR ! you girls truly help me out A LOT! read more

Very impressed as a first time client of this blow dry bar located at an easy to access point of Bayview village shopping mall

I booked well in advance for a Saturday afternoon appointment and I'm glad I did as when I was there it was jam packed which made me feel good about my decision to go as the Yelp reviews were mixed. A place that busy must have something good going for it. As others have mentioned yes this place is small but it didn't bother me as it's not like a regular salon that you can spend 2-3 hours in - this place you're in and out in 45 for a wash and blow dry. I found the staff to be generally friendly. I've been to other salons that were warmer and offer you coffee or water and will hang up your jacket for you but as mentioned this is just a place to get in and out quickly. I think the lady who did my hair was Anna and in the end I was extremely pleased with how my hair turned out. I was nervous at first because she was drying my hair a different way than my usual hairdresser does but all that mattered was the end result and it looked excellent. Overall I was happy and I would definitely go back if I needed my hair done for a special occasion. With tax and tip it was close to $50 which is a bit pricey. For that price I'd like a bit more service like someone offering to hang my jacket and bring me a water. But maybe since they were so busy they were off their game. Overall my hair looked great and the service was efficient and on time. I would recommend. read more

One of your stylist, she didn't know how to style , blow dry hair, my mom told her she was straight, she blow dry her hair like 60s hair, and she burn my mom skin couple times. Please hire someone professional . I wis I could give them 0 star Bayview location. read more

I've never had an issue at this salon. Every stylist I've ever had here does a good job. My hair is super thick and curly and sometimes I just can't be bothered to spend an hour and a half drying it. I'm usually out of Blo after 45 minutes. Yes, it's small but it works. Is it a tad pricey, yes it is but it's also in one of the most expensive malls in the Province so rent is high. It's worth every penny. My only comment is that I wish we could purchase blo tabs online! read more

Great place to get your hair done! The girls are always super friendly and very accommodating! Doesnt matter who you go to as they all do a great job! My hair style stays in for atleast a week because of there super amazing hair spray! read more

I had a good experience, having my hair washed, blow-dried, and then a full make-up. Angie did a very good job.

I made an account just to write this one review. The staff was lazy and unprofessional. I looked like belonged in the 1950's after I came out of there. There were spots in my hair that weren't even blow dried, and the worst thing about the entire experience is the fact that the place smells of cheap perfumes that make you gag. Worst experience I've ever had in my life. STAY AWAY read more

Worth place ive ever seen The lady didnt even blowdry my hair just did with curling iron all my hair was freezing i paid 60$ for nothing I recommend never waste your money even to try them read more

Good place to get a quick blo out! The girls there are super nice and really quick! (Which is good for me because I have long, super thick hair and nothing is ever quick). But these girls do a great job! My only complaints: small space, actually TINY space. They're outside the actual mall too which is inconvenient but the girls manage pretty well in the space they have. Luckily when you're getting your hair done its very quick. The space is waaayy to small and gets hot quickly but you don't have to hang out there to long. Also the prices are a bit high for the services. The service is a pretty basic service and I'd be more inclined to tip more if the prices were lowered slightly. They are always busy which really sucks too. The space really limits how many staff they can have so I get that, but it would be more convenient if they could find a way to accommodate their high volume of clients. And I don't know what people are talking about when they say they are 'rushed' in here. All my appointments or walk-ins at this place have been end-of-day and I've never felt rushed to get out of there. Especially with my massive head of hair that I already presume takes much longer to dry than the average. Isn't the whole point of this service to be quick?? If you want to sit and socialize and have this lengthy salon experience, this is not the place for you. Its a quick in and out, the staff is polite and chatty but focussed on getting their job done. The service is basic, to the point, and without frills. They pretty much hit the nail on the head and I've always had a positive experience here. Ask for Brittany, shes the best :o) read more

Friendly stylists! My hair looked great. Will definitely return.

Really disappointed. I was using this appointment as a trial for my sisters wedding and I'm glad I did that. I picked a style from their Instagram and they looked at me like I had 3 heads saying they can't do that and I have to pick from the basic menu. The appointment ran 30 min late and all the staff including the owner were gossiping about one of the staff members. It felt awkward the whole time I was there! My hair fell apart by mid day and I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

The hairstylist was excellent. Knew what I wanted... from the great hair wash to my hair blow dry !! Got many compliments !

I am so happy with my blowout from Blo! My stylist, Takesha, was so friendly and knowledgeable. She took time to ask me questions about my hair to make sure sheused the right products. It's day 2 and I am still getting compliments! I can't wait to return! read more

Small space only accessible from outside of Bayview village. No greeting when you come through the door, but that's probably cause it's a busy joint. The girl who did my hair, other than asking me what I wanted done to my hair, did not say a word to me. I asked for a waves, which turned out more like curls which I finger combed out when I got home. Was decent enough for the price I suppose. I have to admit though - I'm not sure if they put any heat protectant in your hair before blow drying or styling but my hair was extremely dry after the fact. I had to go to my hair dresser just to get a cut and refresh after this ordeal. Would I go here again - maybe a different location. It's a nice concept but their customer service needs some work, a bigger space would be nice and some more or better heat protectant for your hair considering they are a blo bar. read more

Decided to come here even though the reviews on Yelp were so bad I thought "they r so busy so it must not be the bad"... but I was wrong... so so soooo wrong I'll never doubt you again yelp I made an appt on Saturday, got there a bit early and it wasn't too busy (probably because it was raining) I showed the girl a picture of what I wanted and she said "sure" and she would do it with the brushes.... so far, so good she washes my hair... also fine *i did find it a bit weird that the place is SO small there's no where to wait or hang your jacket but that's ok So i sit in the chair and the girl now tells me she's gonna use a curly iron since my hair is so "fine"... I was ok with that thinking she'd blow dry it with some wave and then use the curling iron to enhance.... while she's drying my hair, all the girls are just gossiping.. about the owner, about other clients, about employees, etc While she's drying my hair, I also mention "oh i like what that girl has or that girl" since there were 2 others in the "salon" that were getting something similar to what i wanted. She ends up just drying my hair and curling it... which I could easily do at home I was expecting something more ... I've had my hair blow dried before.. it holds the style well and it's definitely not "too fine" TBH it seems like she wanted to finish up because they were closing soon. I didn't really see the finished style while I was there because she told me she didn't want to "seperate the curls" so it stays better for when I get home ... but I wasn't expecting it to look just curled.. especially since that's not the picture I showed her By the time I got home and started getting dressed (probably no more than 15-30 minutes after), I loosen the curls and realize the right side of my hair is totally flat like BARELY a wave (and I have naturally wavy hair) I tried to re curl but it kept falling flat because of the product already in it Needless to say, it looked ridiculous So i had the pleasure of paying $45 (including tax, tip) for someone to dry my hair with a blowdryer and curl it and then have the curl not even stay in my hair Really disappointed as the place is super close to where I live and i was looking forward to coming by regularly One note - one of the girls, Kristen (I think), was doing someone else's hair and it looked very nice - she did a good blow dry, added some curls, and seemed to be more interested in her customer than chatting with the other employees. If you decide to go here (although you shouldn't), request her read more

I frequently visit blo on bayview and have had nothing but positive experiences . One of my first times visiting blo, I had my hair done by Mike. My hair is long and curly and unruly, and Mike was able to tame my tresses beautifully. I was instantly hooked and have been coming back ever since because of him. Other notable stylists who will have your hair styled to perfection are: Daniela, Christina, Kristen and Preeti. I've become a huge fan of the products they use, especially the 'purple' shampoo which is great if your highlights are getting brassy. I've often been asked if had my hair recoloured after coming out of Blo because the shampoo they use gives great shine and vibrancy to the colour. The team at Blo is dedicated to giving fast and great service. I'm always amazed at how little time it takes for them to do my hair. The staff is very friendly. Once you get hooked, I recommend purchasing a blow tab. read more

My blow out made me feel beautiful and confident for my last night in town and I will definitely be back!

Ashley (New Orleans location) was superb. She styled my hair impeccably and even went the extra length to ensure it lasted until my event by pinning it up for me before I left. Great experience. read more

My experience at Blo Bayview Village was nothing short of extraordinary. The staff is kind, accommodating, and does exactly what I ask them to with my hair - including helping me figure out what looks best with my overall outfit and style. I am loyal to Preeti, who is so quick, funny, and skilled at her job - but honestly, I felt like everyone at the salon was involved in putting my look together. I arrived a little late for my appointment because my makeup artist ran late and I got ZERO hassles or worries about it from the Blo staff (not to say that it's okay to be late at a busy salon, but its so nice to go somewhere where customer service is a top top priority). I highly recommend Preeti or ANY of the stylists at Blo Bayview Village for your next occasion or your weekly blow-out. You will love the results, the price, and the experience and keep coming back - as I intend to! read more

Candace was AMAZING and very helpful in making me feel like a woman again post an awful surgery. My hair looked beautiful!

Referred my sister to this salon given the rating/reviews. She needed her hair done for a wedding. 9 am appointment, told the beginner stylist she had to be out 9:45 for the 11 am service and they reassured 45 mins was plenty of time. At 9:30, she volunteered a time check as more than half her was still left. Was reassured she'd be done in 15 mins. At 9:35, asked again and the stylist brought another colleague who was only able to do three sections before her own client came. Once finished, the admin processing payment expected a tip. The hair style she asked for wasn't what she got. Very disappointed in the lack of professionalism here especially considering my sister forewarned them about the time restriction. Will not be coming here or recommending again. read more

I have been visiting Blo on a regular basis (usually once a week or so) since they first opened, and it is always the highlight of my day! Not only are all the staff professional and great at styling hair, but they are also super friendly and outgoing. I have thick, long, curly hair, so at my old hairdresser it would always take forever (over an hour) to get it straightened. At Blo, however, each of the girls there (and Mike!) always manage to get my hair pin straight in 30-40 minutes. I honestly couldn't believe how straight my hair turned out after my first time going, and I have been going back weekly ever since. I have brought a lot of my family and friends to Blo and I have never heard anyone I know say one bad thing about it. I have been to another blo location ONCE before, but the staff were not nearly as fun and hilarious as they are at the Bayview location. It feels great to spend time in such a pleasurable environment, where all of the staff genuinely seem like they love what they do. I highly recommend trying out Blo if you haven't already because you will love the results and the impeccable service! I have had incredible experiences with Daniella, Mike, Kearsten and Britt, even though I am sure that everyone there is equally as talented. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Ebony rocks! My hair looks amazing, the atmosphere in the shop was really pleasant and the price is right. I will be back.

Many Sunday afternoons I have tried to book a blow at this location (simply because it is the closest to my home) only to be told that they are booked up. This, as it turns out, it is usually false. As it turns out, if I book online through their website, there are available slots galore. Lesson learned. But this is not what earned them my two stars. For engagement photoshoot I wanted to have a nice, simple blow dry. I booked my appointment a week in advance, for Saturday morning at 9. Now, they normally open at 10 on Saturdays, but by request they will open earlier. The night before they were open until 7 p.m ( I know this because I was offered that slot initially). Friday afternoon, our photographer called us and said that Saturday they weather will be awful, and that we should move our photo shoot to Sunday. We agreed. I promptly called Blow at 5:30 to re-schedule my appointment for Sunday morning (I have fine, thin hair that only looks good for about 2 hours after a blow dry!). No one answered. I left a vm. Saturday morning I woke up to the shrill of a trashy voice yelling at me that she did not get my cancellation, because they closed at 5:00 pm the night before (lie, they closed at 7). In her own words "well yah' kno what, Ima charge yah anywayz coz I got up an hour earlieh tuh come here, so yah!" and she hung up. Sure enough, my card was charged $50. That being said, if you don't care much for customer service, their blows are quite good, they know what they are doing. I usually ask for volume, and volume I get. They move fast, and really seem like they know what they are doing. read more

I wanted my hair to look great for a crawfish boil with my family. This may be over the top, but my hair in a ponytail after a visit to the blow dry bar with Ebony makes for great pictures for my favorite food in the world. read more
