Unfortunately I have to give this place three stars. The finished product looked but, but my weft came out the very next day. I just had it done days before. The hair stylist was pleasant, but pulled too hard blowing my hair out. She didn't tend to the fact that I had extensions. read more

Love this place! It's clean; beautifully designed; and the staff is well versed in different types of hair. My hair is super curly and Geidy did a wonderful job blowing it straight! She was warm, friendly, and professional. Loving my new look and will definitely Be back! read more

I was hesitant at first to come here because usually a hair appointment could either go really well or horribly wrong, plus I usually like to live safely. But let me tell you, this was a wonderful experience! My hair stylist was Jazia but she introduced herself as Jazzi, and she was AMAZING. She offered me a mimosa at 8:30am in the morning and there was no judgement at all. The salon looks so professional, cute, and cool. With pop music blaring, it's hard not to get in the mood to have fun and be pampered. Oh my buddha, speaking of being pampered, with the Yelp check-in, I received $5 off a $10, 10 minute, scalp massage so I thought to myself, "Why not? You're already here, live a little dangerously". BEST. $5. EVER. SPENT. When Jazzi washed my hair and gave me the massage, it felt like I was in a deep massage therapy session. It was extremely soothing and so good, I was basically succumbing into a trance, ya'll. Even though my ears could hear the pop music playing, inside my head, slow music of waterfalls and flutes were playing like I was transported to some spa resort. Forreals. Then came the actual blow drying. Again, it was so relaxing, I mean, the mimosa on an empty stomach had a lot to do with that too. Jazzi asked what I wanted it and worked really hard to give me the best blowout. See for yourself! When you go, ask for Jazzi and if you really love yourself, ask her to give you her signature scalp massage! read more

BLO/OUT - Ask for Jazzi! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The last BLO/OUT of its kind in Philly. My stylist, Kelsey did a wonderful job and made great recommendations based on my hair type. Kelsey gave a great scalp massage with strong pressure. She gets 5 stars for her time and talent! The salon itself feels a bit tired and worn. The white chairs by the washing basins are very stained, but it may be normal wear and tear. Overall, a pleasant place to get a blow dry. Highly recommend going with Kelsey! read more

I think it's safe to say that I'm in love with this place. I've easily been here over a dozen times and love the pampering I get each time. The staff and stylists are are very friendly and the ambiance is great. More than anything though, this is why I love the Blo/out bar: I have very curly hair (3c) and I have a lot of it. My hair is fairly long too (mid back). It takes time and skill to make my hair straight from the roots down. I've gotten many blow outs at many different places -- and have not always been satisfied to say the least, so I truly understand the beauty of a well done blow out. Charlinie, my stylist at the Blo/out bar, does wonders with my hair EVERY SINGLE TIME! She is amazing at what she does, and I leave beyond satisfied every time. My hair is smooth with controlled volume -- and it looks fabulous. I've gotten many of my friends to try the Blo/out bar and they have been very happy with their hair as well! Also, if you plan on going as regularly as I do -- you should consider getting one of their package deals (so you pay up front for let's say 5 blow outs and get a discount)! They also book up pretty quickly on the weekends, so it's best to make an appointment at least a few days in advance. Overall, I highly recommend this place...and am sad that I will be moving out of Philadelphia in a few months. Hope this helps! read more

STAY AWAY! Extremely unprofessional and amateur. I was scheduled to have a girl named Stephanie for a fishtail. They have pictures of fishtails on their site so I thought this wouldn't be a problem. Well she admitted she didn't know how to get it started so she had a co-worker "start" my hair. I was then used as a prop while the other girl was teaching my hairdresser. They had to re-do it 3 times. She was basically learning on me. I was tense the entire time when it was my day off and was supposed to be a relaxing experience before a wedding. Once they finally got it down I ended up have a rat tail. I asked her to fix it and she did a little, but this is how it ended. $40 down the drain. I went next door to Sephora to get my lashes put on and they wouldn't let me leave with out fixing my hair for free. Mind you they are a makeup bar not hair salon and did a WAY better job. I can't stop telling everyone I know about this terrible, terrible experience. read more

This is everything a blowout bar should be: - Amazing ambience (super cute and girly) - They serve you drinks while you get your hair did (mimosas, red/white wine, bubbly, etc) - 45 minutes of fun while getting your hair done I'm so glad I came here! read more

So I usually don't reviews but I have to say I give this salon Five stars. I had a wedding to attend my best friend's wedding and I was his MOH, so I had to make sure I looked extra gooood you know what I'm sayin' and they made that happen! I'm from New York so maybe this may sound a little rude but majority of our salons are very high class, we have very high expectations and you get what you want in a fast time frame and that's the type of service I received here but with a lot more kindness and smiles aaahahaha Amber did my make up. She was sweet and kind asked for pictures for references and she nailed it. It was an outside ceremony so it was a little humid and I do not have to touch up my makeup including my lipstick once!!!! Thee entire night my face was on point!!!!! I was so shocked. I got so many compliments on how natural my makeup looked and everyone was trying to figure out how my lips were still on after drinking and eating the whole night hahaha The makeup came out flawless in pictures as well. At the end she hands you this cute little pink bag with little goodies to help you get through the night I didn't need any of it. So thank you girl!!!! Then for my hair I went downstairs I already had my hair blown out here in New York and I believe her name was Alanis very sweet showed her a picture for reference and she went to work one, two, three my hair was done to perfection!!! And once again I got so many compliments on my hair . My hair is very frizzy in humidity and my hair didn't frizz my hair were still soft and shiny and flowy. If you want an updo she's the one you go to! Oh also usually when you get updos all the hairspray and products they put in your hair you have to wash it out but there was no flakes no stiffness and I had another hairdo for the next day for the brunch! Sexy waves, honeyyy! Even though I don't live in Philly but I do have family that do and host a lot of events I will definitely book them again in the future. They were able to accommodate me last minute and I really appreciate it. So if you live in the area or you're an outsider like me I would definitely give this place a chance and I'm glad I did because I will be back! If the artist would like a picture of their work you can connect me I will be happy to send a picture of their amazing work. Thanks again! read more

This is an amazing salon in a great location if you live or work in the Center City area. All of the stylists are really attentive and they have a lot of great discounts throughout the year. I usually come here in the mornings and it is always very quick and my hair looks great for a long time. Most recently I came to see Mohammed, who is super talented with hair. He was really nice and was going during our visit and my hair turned out perfect. I would definitely suggest him for a big event or even just a night out. read more

I was visiting Philly on a business trip from California. Washing and drying my long hair in a hotel bathroom is a pain in the butt so I booked a same day appointment. This is by far one of the best blow outs I've ever gotten. Customer service: Friendly, efficient, great coffee Stylist: Katelyn, welcoming, friendly, executed exactly what I asked for, talented! Hair: Smelled amazing, exactly the kind of body I wanted on top, could run my hands through it but it also stayed for two days I wish Katelyn was in California, I would definitely become a regular! read more

I had the chance to try Blo/Out during a bachelorette I was at last night. There were 8 or 9 girls in our group and we were all able to get an appointment for the same time. We all got our hair washed together, dried together, and styled together. We all started at the same time and basically finished at the same time. This place is very cute, which is great for girly girls. There are several levels of stairs though, so be prepared to hike up and down a bit. They also have complimentary red and white wine, mimosas, and coffee. We ended up bringing our own champagne last night, so they put it into glasses and kept everyone's glass full. All of the staff people were very friendly and nice. All the girls loved their hair. It was a little bit expensive ($35.00), but if you have the type of hair that will hold the style for more than a night, it's totally worth it. Maybe even something you'd want to do a couple times a month! Plus, who doesn't like to get pampered a little bit? There was one issue that two of the girls had...the person who was putting their credit cards through kept saying that they were declined. Both girls could see their accounts online and they both had plenty of money, but they ended up having to use cash to pay because she kept saying the card was declined. They said that she was typing the name, numbers, and expiration date into the computer, so I just have to assume that she was making some type of error. Or their machine was down. But she said their cards were declined. So, that was weird. But honestly, beyond that, it was a totally great experience! Would recommend. read more

Blo Out Bar is great- Mohamad is the best!!! I've been going to Mohamad for years now. I have very thick curly hair and work out frequently so it frizzes often- Mohamad's blow outs last a week, something I've never experienced at other salons. He gives it beautiful volume, and I always feel great when I leave. I've seen some other stylists at Blo Out Bar- all were very good, but Mohamad is in a league of his own. The salon also sells packages to make the blow outs cheaper, and there is a customer loyalty program. Best of all- the blow outs are fast! It's never taken longer than 45 minutes- at other salons it's taken upwards of an hour. Highly recomend! read more

Mohamad is amazing! My blowout looks amazing! Can't wait to have glam hair for the gala I'm going to tonight! Don't go anywhere else! I've tried Drybar twice and left unimpressed both times. Blo/Out uses great products; my hair feels so light and smooth. Mohamad had me in and out of there in 45 minutes flat while still taking time to understand what I was looking for and making everything perfect! I wish I could do my own hair this good. read more

Tracey M. Did my hair for a friends wedding. I have fine hair that is hard to work with and she did an amazing job and was able to give me the big volume and curls I have always wanted. Would 100% recommend requesting her !! read more

I wish I lived closer to this salon. I am about 20-25 minutes away with traffic but I am strongly considering buying a pack of 20 blowouts because it was one of the best blowouts I have had since moving to Philly. This salon is comfortable, the stylists are friendly, and she was able to get my hair totally smooth without a flat/curling iron, which I try to avoid. This place is an upgrade from some of the blowout chains- I just wish I were closer by! read more

Went in for as a birthday treat to myself. It's wasn't crowded. Left with my curly and bouncy hair, as requested. Received complements:)

Never again. The stylist pulled my hair so much and so painfully. I could hear every strand as it pulled out of my scalp. When I said something, she could clearly see the brush was full of long full strands of hair. I left with my hair feeling burnt and dry. I made an appointment for a blow out...Not an hour of being fried with a flat iron. read more

I stopped by Blo Out for an updo and makeup appointment at noon. My appointment was scheduled for 12:00pm, but I end up waiting 10 extra mins for my stylist (I didn't really mind). When I was in the chair, Kelsey asked me which styles I liked, what I had in mind, etc. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she replicated it exactly! After the hair was done, Kelsey took me upstairs where the makeup was going to be done. I thought the foundation was a bit too dark for my skin color, but I didn't realize until I left the salon. The eyeshadow wasn't blended quite enough so I had to blend it out with my finger a bit to fix it. But overall, I liked how everything turned out. In the future, I'll return just for the hair services. read more

I love coming to BLO/OUT bar, I always have a great experience. All of the ladies are very professional and listen to the look I am going for. My hair always looks great and feels so soft when I leave. If you have dry and thin hair like me that doesn't hold a curl (blonde-often highlighted), I recommend you add on the Moroccan oil treatment to your service. read more

My blow outs with Mohamad are like an epiphany of hair experiences! The professionalism despite all my coaching is like none other!

Always love my visits to this place!! All the ladies are so sweet. Awesome conversation and they always slay.

Very solid first experience with BLO/OUT! My hair was just two days from my regular cut and color, but I had an event to attend plus my anniversary dinner, so decided to treat myself to a blowout to ensure a good hair day. I booked my blowout, and added on a ten minute scalp massage, online. As luck would have it, I was paired up with Alessandra, who was amazing. I don't feel like I gave very good direction on what I wanted and yet she read my mind anyway and worked out a look that was bouncy and fun. The scalp massage was relaxing and just what I needed. I have been spoiled by my regular salon with super comfortable hair washing stations, and I found the stations at BLO/OUT to be a bit hard on the neck. I also thought the salon could use a little bit of an update, but I read in another review that this might be currently happening, so I'm interested to see how it goes. I'd be happy to see Alessandra again and will book with her for my next visit! read more

I made an appointment over the phone which was an easy and pleasant experience! However upon arriving I should have known I would be dealing with inexperienced stylist. I walked in to find stylist and receptionist all charging their phones in the waiting area. Not one greeted me or tried to seem like they were working when I walked in. I was taken by my stylist (Hector) immediately for a lackluster wash upstairs. I had to request another shampoo as I could feel product buildup still in there. Typically salons will usually shampoo 2-3 times, not here! The blowout I received was bad to say the least. Before my stylist styled with waves I had to request that he pass the blow dryer again as several areas of my hair were moist to the touch! Within two hours the waves had fallen and my hair was frizzy. Would not recommend going here at all! read more

I came in on a Saturday afternoon before a gala - it was my first time visiting the salon. I will say it was a bit of a mixed experience. My blow out stylist was quite rough and nearly had me in tears a couple of different times. When she was washing my hair, she kept pulling it extremely hard (I have fine hair and it tangles easily) - I'm uncomfortable with confrontation but finally did say to her that she was really pulling my hair a lot and that it was painful. I had to say it twice because she ignored it the first time. The second time, she sort of just said "oh yeah, your hair is very fine" and continued to pull. The scalp massage was also with extremely hard pressure, which she didn't ask me about (it's pretty typical to say "how is the pressure" when giving a massage, in my experience) and gave me a bit of a headache. There was also cold water used near the end, which I jumped at, but she didn't seem to register. Wrapping my hair up out of the sink was also rough; I went down to the salon chair with my eyes watering. When she brushed my hair out, it was again extremely rough, and blow drying my hair was so rough my head was being constantly yanked to the side and I again was nearly in tears. It again got to be too much and since she didn't notice me repeatedly wincing, I finally said "you're really pulling my hair hard", to which she replied "have you ever gotten your hair done before?" I thought it was condescending - I indeed have gotten my hair done many times, and it hasn't hurt that much. She did make my hair look nice in the end, but honestly it wasn't worth it to have such a painful experience, and I wish she had listened the multiple times I let her know she was hurting me or paid any attention to my body language, because plenty of people aren't comfortable speaking up in these types of situations. My make-up experience was much better, and I really liked Crystal. She did a beautiful job, she was really nice, and I got a lot of compliments. The only issue was that I had eyelash extensions applied without being asked (which was fine by me, I thought it was part of it), but when I was rung up, I was told it cost $15 more than my original total I was quoted when setting up the appointment because of the lashes. I think customers have a right to know ahead of time if they're going to be up charged for something. I likely would have still said "sure", but no one wants to be surprised at check out. It's very possible she thought it was already included, but it might be a good practice to ask ahead of time so people can make a conscious choice. read more

Amazing service.... Tracey Mitchell gave me exactly what I wanted and was so fun to talk to!!!

I would give zero stars if I could. Absolutely horrendous experience. I asked for loose, flowy curls. See the photo for what I got. God awful, frizzy small curls. The stylist used brushes to roll curls but left the physical brushes in my hair as if they were rollers. She hardly said anything and it truly felt like she was uncomfortable with using a curling iron. I cried when I was checking out, and they still charged me, but suggested I "didn't have to leave a tip." I still did because I have respect for the service industry, but I expect higher quality work. read more

Blow out was just OK and not quite what I asked for..Staff was rude. Mask was hanging completely off. I recognize that this isn't an essential to get done - and I knowingly am taking some level of undue risk..but if I have my mask on to help keep you safe, it'd be nice if you put yours on too. I was so surprised and just wanted to get out of there - at that point. read more

I'm giving them 3 stars bc sometimes they do a good job and sometimes they don't. Today , the girl left me for 15 minutes to go the bathroom and then talked on the phone while she half ass blew out my hair. I asked for extra volume and curls at the end. My layers were barely even bumped. She didn't put any volume product in, she didn't know where to part my hair bc she never asked, and she didn't even ask if i want shine spray. So needless to say I was late getting back to work with flat hair and no curls. They were nice enough to take off 10 dollars. The stylist should be more professional tho. Again, not all of them are like this. Most are friendly, attentive and do a good job but it's really hit or miss. read more

I went to BLO/OUT bar on 12/15/2018 to get my makeup done for a wedding, Gina did my makeup and was AMAZING from start to finish. She asked the occasion, I showed her a picture of the dress I was wearing and she asked if I wanted to go natural or super glam, so I told her to take it away and do whatever she wanted. Needless to say, I absolutely loved my makeup and got TONS of compliments at the wedding. My makeup didn't even feel heavy and lasted all night without it looking greasy. I felt extremely comfortable and thanks to Gina, felt like a millions bucks all night! She was so down to earth, so nice and very professional. I can't recommend her enough, I'll definitely use her in the future. Aside from Gina, I've had multiple blowouts here as well and NEVER had a complaint. I had my hair done for the same wedding and my stylist (her name escapes me, so sorry!) gave me an awesome braid and beach waves which I also LOVED and was complimented on all night! Not a bad thing to say about the BLO/OUT Blow Dry Bar! Thanks again, ladies and gents! read more

I've been getting blow outs here pretty frequently and like all salons, you do need the find the right person for your hair. The best I have had so far has been Megan and Kelsey which I plan to continue to use. The one thing I do not like is their limited choice of hair products as I don't think one size fits all. I have extensions and some stylists just couldn't get the right mix of product that works with the extensions. I had one stylist that didn't dry it a bit before taking a brush to it and I had hair static all day. Scheduling is great although I would like a way to schedule online with the exact stylist I want or at least a note in the system to request a specific stylist. Hours are amazing and I love starting off the work week and then the weekend with a great blow out! read more

I went to get my hair done for a formal; I wanted something pretty but not too "done." I'm always a little nervous going to new hair places because I have deceptively thick hair, but I'd walked by this place before, and it looked so fun I couldn't resist. When I got here, I had to wait about 10 minutes after the time my appointment was scheduled to start, but that wasn't an issue for me. All I knew was that I wanted loose curls and a braid incorporated in some way - I was relieved my stylist could help me figure it out, because I know nothing about hair, and the style turned out to be exactly what I wanted (see pictures). I was a little confused because I wanted the waterfall braid, but was told it was going to cost $45 rather than $35 for being "custom" (I guess the curls = custom). Again, not a huge issue, I was just a little surprised. I also really didn't want hairspray. Even without the hairspray, my hair stayed perfect all night, and I still had pretty curls the next day after I took out the braid and slept on it! I had a class at 9am and people were asking if I'd gotten my hair done that morning. A good experience overall, and I'd definitely come back. read more

Haiti is wonderful! My hair always looks amazing when she is finished. She is also so very sweet.

If I could give my last experience zero stars I would. I walked in with my two kids and two women who worked there were already standing at the cash register. After asking if I did an online check in, one of the ladies, Shannon, asked which of my kids was which and asked if he was ready. I looked up and notice Shannon's mask was clearly below her nose. It was loose and did not fit her face. I asked politely, 'Miss, you are going to wear that mask above your nose, right?' To which she replied, 'Well it falls down and I try to remember, but I'll do the best I can.' To which I not so politely replied, 'Miss, you are going to wear that mask above your nose right!!!' She basically rolled her eyes and said yes. Within two minutes Shannon's mask had fallen below her nose and she was in my kids face talking with her mask down. As I was ready to get up, Shannon sees me and pulls her mask back up quickly. Meanwhile, my other child is getting his haircut by a woman, Jessica (I highly recommend, gives great haircuts as well) who understands we are in a pandemic and it's not that hard to wear a mask appropriately. I don't care if you believe in masks or not, but when an employee of a store breaks store procedures, when a parent/customer is clearly uncomfortable with it, that's not okay. Needless to say, it happened a few more times with Shannon's mask and I said something again. Shannon was rude, and clearly didn't feel the need to follow store policy. Btw, the store supplies disposable face masks for guests who don't have them. They have a metal piece to contour to your nose so your mask doesn't slide down. Shannon had no excuse. Her name is Shannon, for those that didn't catch it, and for anyone who doesn't potentially want to get Covid from an employee who just doesn't care. read more

I booked an appt with this place when I noticed drybar was temporarily closed during COVID. I wanted a blowout styled with loose beach curls for a big presentation. As soon as I got there, on a pouring raining Sunday, I was barely greeted. I was sitting with my wet umbrella before I asked the front desk lady where to put my things. I was taken back by Jeremy. Jeremy told me to leave my things downstairs and washed my hair upstairs. I had added on a 10 minute scalp massage but he was done with my hair within 5 mins. I told the lady at the end when she rang me up that I was not going to pay for it. She didn't even apologize, just said, "oh he didn't do it?" and took it off the tab. How could your stylists not know the treatment before they start your appt? The rest of my appt. was rushed and uncomfortable. There was visible dust and hair on the floor between appts. The place looks very low effort - like desk chairs for an appt with hairspray out. I told Jeremy the style I was thinking, and he barely said 5 words to me the whole appt. He said he didn't need to see my photos or ask me for inspiration. He continued to rush my hair and there were just a few curls. He even asked what hairsprays I wanted to add (I noticed others wrote about this); shouldn't it be obvious? It's a rainy day so anti-humidity and anything to help it stay. Lastly, I was in and out within 30 mins. I was waiting for my ride so I wouldn't wait downstairs outside in the rain and the front desk lady audibly said "we're just waiting for her to close up." I waited downstairs in the stairwell and she had the nerve to ask if I was waiting for a ride. How can you close up so quickly booking a 4pm appt? Nonetheless make a customer feel like they're intruding. Anyway, I'm giving it 2 stars just because my hair looks... fine and he did his job. But the poor customer service and cleanliness... never going back! read more
