I really like coming here. Everyone is very professional and the atmosphere is fun and uplifting.

I am always wary of going to new places because of my thick and curly hair, but I was looking for somewhere with next place appointments for a blowout and found Bloom. Booking was super easy. Alyssa is wonderful! She was able to make my hair look very smooth and pretty. Great experience, definitely recommend her if you have curly hair! read more

I love this place so much and Krista is a hair GODDESS. I haven't had a haircut in about a decade because of health and anxiety reasons and decided to take the step and my fiancé reached out to figure out how to set an appointment for me because I was a little overwhelmed by the choices online. They said they could have me in for a consultation same day and after the consultation we made an appointment for me to do my hair with Krista. Oh my goodness. Any anxiety I had went away immediately when I walked to the shop and Krista waved hi to me. Honestly one of the warmest sweetest people I've had the pleasure of meeting AND she is a master of hair magic. She communicated with me throughout, made sure I was happy and comfortable, and let me know what was happening while she was doing my hair. Y'all, I am beyond amazed and impressed with how everything turned out. I have really thick unruly curly hair in my opinion and she tamed it and styled it and I already know even after I wash my hair and do my natural curls, it's going to look amazing. She checked in with me to make sure that the color was what I wanted and when the first time wasn't as vibrant as I wanted she helped me adjust until I was satisfied. Honestly this was the greatest experience I've had this year, if not my whole life with hair. The shop is also gorgeous and immaculate and I know whenever I have any hair-related needs I will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much wonderful staff at Bloom and especially Krista! You absolutely made my year. read more

I am so happy with my recent experience at Bloom. I had an 80s themed 50th birthday party last Saturday and Kathy did my hair. Beforehand she and Ben asked for photos samples of what I hoped to achieve. They responded quickly with "we got this!" Kathy was so thoughtful and calming with the process. I felt 100% confident that she would achieve a beautiful look for me - and she did. Heaps of compliments all night long! Thank you very much! read more

Bloom Blow Dry Bar - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I really REALLY really hate how my hair looks after todays session. It is not me at all. This is my second time back this month. The first time this month my hair turned out amazing! My hair is naturally straight virgin Asian hair. I need my hair pinned as my hair is getting the round brush blow out. Today the stylist insisted on using a hot round iron. It turns out I do not like the artificial super curled tip looks at the end of my hair for curling iron. It looks too harsh. My hair has ZERO volume on the crown of my head. And the body of the hair as loosened out but the tips are so curled and rounded. This is not what I want from a blow out ): read more

I really enjoyed my service here but unfortunately my hair fell flat within 30 minutes of leaving after my blowout, it looked like i had straightened my hair :( It was disappointing because I had booked it for an important commitment and i don't like how straightened hair looks on me :( I didn't have time to fix it myself which was frustrating. read more

I was so grateful to Ben, the owner, for squeezing me in last minute the night of my holiday party. The theme was 20s and Alyssa nailed it. She was so sweet and I got a ton of compliments on my hair. Thank you! I'll definitely be coming back again! read more

Getting the full treatment of hair and makeup for a milestone event is stressful. For the artist and the recipient. You want it to go right because all eyes are on you and the photos will last forever. For my daughter's graduation we decided to splurge on the hair/makeup treatment for 2 events. The first time it didn't go well. The hair fell in an hour and the makeup was goopy with eyelashes crooked eventually falling. I called Bloom and they offered for us to return to fix it, unfortunately we could not as we only had an hour before the event. We removed most of the makeup and repaired it the best we could. We had an appointment for the following morning and nearly cancelled, but they listened to our concerns so we decided against our better judgement to keep the appointment. They also reduced the service fee. We are thrilled we kept the appointment. My daughter was glowing and so happy with the results. She seriously looked stunning and the hair/makeup lasted until late into the night. The hair had movement but the curls were intact. The makeup enhanced features, but still had dimension. Overall, it looked youthful/joyful and we're very grateful. Thank you for listening to the concerns and fixing, recommended! read more

They did not confirm my appointment at any point by call, text or email and then charged me full price for a service I didn't receive. Bad business practices and customer service. read more

Very nice space and great staff. I made an appointment 6 days ahead of time . On the day of my visit , I received a text that my stylist called in sick . Although they were short staffed Ben , the owner , managed to find another person to perform the task. Ben went out of his way to accommodate me and Michelle , the young lady who styled my hair was very pleasant and talented . I loved the service I received and will go back again . read more

Called Bloom Blow Dry hoping for a last minute appointment and got lucky! April had an opening available for 3pm that afternoon and I was seated as soon as I entered. I have mid length hair and within 45 mins she washed it twice and gave me a beautiful round brush blowout! My hair felt so soft and bouncy. For mid length hair blowouts are $59- pretty comp for a blowout in SF. There's metered parking around the corner- would definitely give yourself enough time to find a spot. Thanks so much April! read more

What a gorgeous space! The location is beautiful and immaculately kept. The front desk is friendly, and they make sure to email you reminders about your appointment. The real standouts are the stylists - it was hard to choose one from the great reviews. I ended up booking with Jeanette Caballero. She is fabulous and professional. When I showed her photos of the styles I was looking at for my engagement photos, she knew what I wanted and asked me if I trusted her. I love when they ask that! It means they know what they're doing and don't need a lot of guidance. My hair turned out beautifully and she did it so quickly! It also lasted the whole day - just like she said. I will definitely be back, and I'm so glad there is a local, friendly and beautiful blow dry bar nearby. read more

I can always get an appointment and a great blowout. This is the easiest to park/reach dry bar in the city. Good prices, great staff. Go for it! read more

I was super sad when I found out dry bar closed all of their stores in the Bay Area. Did some research on yelp and found Bloom! I'm the type of girl who doesn't know how to do her own hair LOL. So I was in need for someone to do my hair for date night! Booking on bloom website was easy. I was able to book an appointment on Friday afternoon. Came here on Friday afternoon and there was ton of meter parking in the west portal neighborhood. Destiny was my hair stylist and she did a fantastic job! She was super nice & offered me a drink as well when I arrived. She asked what I wanted and I said beachy waves. Finished in 45 mins and I loved the results! Will definitely be back whenever I want to get my hair done. Blowout was $70 not including tips. Im happy to say that I found my go to blow out salon in SF ;) read more

April gave me the best cut I have had in years! I love how she is not only creative, but she does such beautiful work. I have gotten so many compliments from people from family, friends and strangers on the street. I even got asked out on a few dates in the last week. I feel much more confident too and definitely think it's largely due to this amazing cut!!! See for yourself with April! read more

I really wanted to love this place! I would have been a weekly/biweekly customer if things went well. The location is sooo convenient for me and the space is pleasing to the eye. There were 2 major things that bothered me. 1. Every time I called I was forwarded to voicemail. 2 days before my appointment I called to see if it was possible to push my appointment up 1 hours. I never received a call. It would have been understandable if it was not possible but a call back would have been nice. 2. My hair was not even close to what I asked for! I asked for soft beach curl and I got a hairstyle that was more structured/glam which would have been great if that was what I asked for. Today I had headshots for work scheduled for an hour after my hair appointment, the idea was to have a professional do a polished version of me...there was not way they hairstyle I was locked into for the day gave me that feeling. My hope is management can up their customer service! read more

Super happy with my organic shimmer spray tan! The color came out fantastic and not Paris Hilton orange at all!!! The girl spraying me was great! Easy to talk to while wearing paper underwear! Appointment was fast and on time. A great place to get your fake bake on minus the baking because that's bad for you! read more

Vickie Jarillo made me look like a freakin' goddess!!!! I asked her to make me look sexy and she knew exactly what to do. I highly recommend booking with her if she is available. To top it off, my hair looked beautiful the next day and I toss and turn a lot when I sleep, so that's a big bonus. I can't wait to go back and have her bless me again with her amazing hair styling skills! read more

I am a native San Franciscan who has gone to numerous hair stylists in the city and KRISTA is by far, the best colorist and all around hair expert I have ever been to. She spends time with you to make sure you choose the right color - and does the best highlights, melt, and gloss - it lasts and always looks shiny. Her pricing is extremely reasonable and she is friendly - what a pro! So happy with my color, and she just made my hair look extremely pretty. GO TO HER! read more

BEST BLOWOUT BAR (5 stars) Hair needs a makeover. I am a huge fan of blowouts, my thick hair is made for it. The salons around the city do a good job but I never felt "wow'd" after spending $40 to blow dry my hair. THAT CHANGED the day I had called and came here for the first time. I came here and met Ruby who gave my hair a makeover. She is on point with making your vision come to life. Volume and curls. Let's just say when I walked out I felt amazing and everybody at the event was complimenting my hair. It was probably the best blowout I've ever had in my lifetime - no exaggeration. I've also seen Miranda and she does a great job as well. This is my favorite blowout bar and ruby is probably my go-to person. Will I be back? Yes LOVE IT. JABA APPROVED. Until the next review. read more

Bloom Blow Dry Bar - The bigger the better. Love my blowout by Ruby. - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I decided to come Bloom Blow Dry Bar for an organic spray tan in January. Let me tell you, I am loving my evenly browned tan. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking to get a evenly bronzed and natural look! Upon arrive to my appointment, I got lucky with a parking spot a block away! I was warmly greeted and checked in quickly. Next, I was shown to the tanning room and given instructions. We discussed the color I wanted and then I got spray tanned! The staff was extremely kind, helpful and discreet to my privacy. I can't wait to go back to try out the dry bar! read more

I have been a customer of Bloom Blow Dry Bar since April 2022 and I absolutely LOVE DREW! He is not only extremely talented and knowledgeable about hair care, styles and products but also he listens to me and my needs. Every single time I get hair done by Drew I fall in love with it. I have seen his work with other customers and he is professional, thoughtful and also respectful. Drew always goes above and beyond when styling my hair, I cannot recommend him more!!!! read more

Had a scheduling snafu and April was amazing to go above and beyond to squeeze me in. She's an excellent stylist and great conversationalist - so lucky to have had her for my first time at Bloom and can't wait to request her next time! read more

An excellent experience from beginning to end. The reception people were professional and effective and made me feel Bloom was my second home. Then Drew was the stylist who really listened when I described the look I was going for as well as presenting some of his own ideas. I am very pleased with the results, even now a couple of week later and would not hesitate to return to Bloom regularly. Five star! read more

This was my first visit at Bloom. I loved the decor, but it was super busy and felt a bit stuffy and frantic to me, due to the number of people. When I arrived, I was greeted and offered a beverage, which I appreciated. Shortly after sitting down, my stylist, Tiffani, greeted me. I came in for an updo and showed Tiffani a photo of what I was looking for from Pinterest. She was confident and went right to work. I really appreciated her asking me questions about how I wanted my hair to look so that it came out just right. I'm very happy with the finished product and am looking forward to wearing it to my event this evening! I also liked that styling products were being sanitized as appointments were finishing. I don't think I've ever seen that at a salon! A few places for improvement: My hair had been washed the day before and it wasn't washed during my visit. I understand that hair that's a tad dirty is best for an updo, but the pricing online states that what I booked, an updo for $85, includes a wash and blow dry. I thought perhaps the service cost would be adjusted, but it was still $85 when I went to check out. Also, please be aware, you should bring cash for your tip. I was kind of made to feel that I was really being inconvenient by putting my tip on a card and was told that I wouldn't be able to do so next time. I would have been happy to bring cash had I known it was strongly preferred. Perhaps this info could be included in the booking confirmation email? Overall, I'll be back with Tiffani to try a blow out, as I think she is really talented and was sweet! read more

I love having my hair blown out, so relaxing, and hair looks good for the work week. I highly recommend Jeanette who I have found listens, and delivers what I ask for. I have never been disappointed!

Jeannette is amazing -- her blowouts last me days!! read more

I am so happy; last minute appointment before a special occasion to visit friends post shelter-in-place! Fabulous wash and blow dry with Vicky!! My new "go to" and close to where I live! read more

Destiny did exactly what I wanted! Big, but loose curls loved the final look. I'm not a fan of places that use excessive products and the hair ends up crunchy feeling and heavy. My hair felt light and looks amazing! I can't curl my own hair to save my life so she saved me and now I'm wedding ready! She was super sweet as well. Would come again and definitely request Destiny! read more

I had a blow out with Charles a few weeks ago for my graduation. Everyone in the salon was very friendly, and I absolutely loved my hair! My hair is naturally stick straight, and he was able to make my curls last the whole day. I'm only knocking off a star because I received a text that my appointment may be running late, but the text was very short and no please, sorry, or thank you anywhere. I would just say to remember text etiquette is important too! read more

I scheduled a blowout service for a maternity shoot. When I got there for my appointment, I was warmly greeted amd was asked to wait as none of the shampoo chairs were available. I told my stylist that I have an outdoor shoot 4 hours later so it would be nice if she could use hairspray or any other product(s) to help maintain the curls until the shoot. She proceeded to style my hair with barely any product or hairspray. By the time I got to my photoshoot, my curls had already fallen out. I was really disappointed in the service considering the amount I paid. I'm all about supporting businesses during Covid, but given that they couldn't accommodate a later appointment in the day, I should have just curled my own hair. read more

Look for another place. They have no idea what they're doing and yes, they are always late as the other reviewers noted (so put extra $$ in the parking meter), switch stylists, and basically, don't treat you with respect. Christina the owner isn't professional. If you have a problem because your hair fell off, she won't do anything, not even refund you. Reed, the "manager" is just downright rude. Don't encourage bad businesses. Or, come here at your own peril. read more

I have supported Bloom since its soft opening on September 12, 2014. I have been a loyal customer and have come in at least once or twice a week - sometimes three or four times a week, and I have posted positive reviews and comments promoting Bloom on various social media platforms. I have recommended its services to family and friends from the Bay Area to the East Coast, and I have purchased many gift cards and gift sets for holidays, birthdays, and the like. I have been here well over 100 times and have been happy to support this business... until now. For the most part, the stylists are absolutely fantastic . They are friendly, talented, hard-working, and professional, and I have received great service and made many happy memories here. (Shoutouts to Ricardo, Jamila, Tianna, Tiffani, Cynthia, Olivia, Diane, Miraj, Lauren, Lyn, Tiffani, Monica, Diane, Ruby, and Alex) ***So why the one star review?*** (This is also the hundredth review.) Because the owner, Dawn, is DISHONEST!! Offensive. Dishonest. Unwelcoming. Antagonistic. Unfairly Discriminating. Borderline Abusive. Unprofessional. I cannot, with good conscience, support a business like this. It is absolutely disgusting. On more than one occasion, Dawn has not only been dishonest, but she has also been DISRESPECTFUL. For example, she has used OFFENSIVE language, directed towards me. No customer (especially a loyal, enthusiastic, paying customer) should have to endure this. No person should. I don't think I have ever been more insulted (to say the least). This situation is unfortunate because again, the staff here is, for the most part, fantastic; however, given the aforementioned, I neither feel welcome nor safe here. Perhaps more details to come. read more

Bloom Blow Dry Bar - 100th Check-in on 9/5/16, just in time for the anniversary! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been coming to Bloom since it opened - it's the best. Vicki is one of the main reasons I have remained a loyal customer of Bloom over the years- her blowouts always look fabulous. Vicki's ability to take care of her clients (who love her) while managing the salon is incredibly impressive. She keeps things running smoothly there and is a pleasure to visit whenever I need my hair done. Vicki is the glue that keeps everything together at Bloom - you're so lucky to have someone so dedicated and terrific managing your business. read more

I recently came in to get tape extensions. My friend has been coming here for awhile and told me to check it out. First off the salon is beautiful, and the front desk greeted me kindly and felt very welcoming. I had an appointment at 1pm and didn't wait long, was taken in right away. My stylist was Tiffani and she was awesome! We chatted a bit and she started her work. At the end, it came out amazing and I'd highly recommend anyone considering getting it done to go to her! read more

I am not sure why this place is highly rated. I had made an appointment and the stylist was running behind schedule. I asked for lots of volume. However, I ended up with straight, flat, frizzy hair. I did tell the manager that I was disappointed with my service. I should have just gone to Dry Bar. What a waste of money. read more

I went to Bloom for the first time to get my hair and makeup done for my city hall wedding last week. I went in unsure of what exactly I wanted, but Addy was wonderful at looking at some Pinterest photos I found and talking about what styling would work best with my hair. We decided on a braided crown, half-updo that looked great! She also showed my mom the best place to attach my veil later, and added some extra pins to help hold it in. Tiffani did my makeup, and it was awesome. I'm not really good with makeup, but she listened to what I envisioned, took into account that I wear glasses, and made me look wonderful for all my photos! Thank you Addy and Tiffani for making my wedding perfect! read more
