Blo Blow Dry Bar Marches Forward with Largest Multi-Unit Deal in Brand History

2021-10-12T11:09:12-04:00October 12th, 2021|Tags: , , , , , |

World’s Leading Blow Dry Bar Franchise’s Newest Agreement Brings Seven More Units to Texas.

HOUSTON — Blo Blow Dry Bar, North America’s original blow dry bar and the world’s largest blow dry bar franchise, announced today the signing of a seven-unit franchise agreement in the Houston-area. Blo Blow Dry Bar continues to see impressive growth, especially in Texas, with the newest agreement bringing the total to 32 locations across the state, adding to the robust total of more than 130 locations open and in development across North America.

Stephanie and Mike Winsor are the husband-and-wife duo behind the seven-unit agreement. Mike earned his degree in petroleum engineering and spent the last five years as a COO at a privately held oil and gas company, which recently sold to a large publicly traded company. Stephanie graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a degree in business, where her initial interest in franchising was developed. With Stephanie’s knowledge and passion for opening a franchise and Mike’s business-savvy background and leadership skills, the couple has decided to embark on this journey together as co-owners of seven Blo Blow Dry Bars across Houston-Proper. Prior to their newest venture, Stephanie and Mike have owned and operated approximately 20 investment properties over the years.

Stephanie and Mike are currently in the process of securing the first location in their hometown of Kingwood, which is slated to open early 2022. Once further into the development phase for Kingwood, they plan to concurrently find locations for the remaining six locations, focusing on the greater Houston market throughout Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris and Montgomery counties. The Winsor family has resided in Houston since 2007 and moved to Kingwood in 2009, where they raise their three daughters and are very active in the community.

“Our family is very grounded here in Kingwood, so we are very excited to be bringing this service to our community,” said Stephanie. “We originally planned to open three units, but after talking with and getting to know the Blo Blow Dry Bar team, we decided to sign on for seven. I think that is a testament to their leadership, successful business model and support provided to franchisees. This opportunity also allows us to play a role in the rebuilding of our community, which is still making strides toward recovery from the impacts of hurricane Harvey.”

With a favorable real estate landscape and vast opportunity for market growth, company executives are actively seeking franchisees to continue to expand in key markets across the country.

Texas continues to be a strong area for our growth and development due to its demographics and demand for our services,” said Patrick Pantano, Vice President, Franchise Development, Blo Blow Dry Bar. “The Winsors are well equipped to bring this project to life based on their previous business knowledge and community-focused mindset. Franchisees like Stephanie and Mike who work alongside our brand, play a crucial role in bringing exceptional service to more communities across the U.S.”

Blo Blow Dry Bar creates a space where people of all ages, ethnicities and orientations are welcomed, represented and made to feel gorgeous while emphasizing the need for self-care and wellness. Combining a sophisticated design with a fun and energetic environment, the blow dry bar cultivates a seamless and enjoyable experience for guests upon their arrival, during and after their services. Expertly trained bloers are available for consultation seven days a week to meet the needs of all guests. The brand’s hair menu includes their signature styles, ranging from sleek and straight to lively and bouncy curls, with customizable options such as braids, ponytails and updos for any occasion. Blo also offers makeup services from expert artists on-hand to help guests look and feel amazing for any occasion.

The growing franchise is just at the start of the runway, staking its claim as a leader in the $47 billion a year industry and continues to expand at a rapid rate. Every year, more cities across the globe are painted pink. Every day, a new guest discovers how wonderful the Blo Blow Dry Bar experience is. Superior service and consistent results are a top priority for all guests as well as franchisees. The brand goes beyond beauty – it is strategically positioned to meet growing customer demands within the wellness and self-care industries with an established foundation for business success.

“Blo Blow Dry Bar has proven itself to be a strong business investment for individuals looking to kickstart a career in franchising,” said Vanessa Yakobson, CEO of Blo Blow Dry Bar. “Stephanie and Mike’s historic seven-unit deal is proof that once people learn about us, they will want to jump right in and go all the way. This growth is immensely important to the brand, our franchisees and each community we’re located in. Every new deal allows us to broaden our reach, making more guests feel beautiful inside and out.”

Blo Blow Dry Bar Partners with Saks Fifth Avenue to Introduce the Blo American Dream Pop Up

2021-09-29T16:18:35-04:00September 29th, 2021|Tags: , , , , , |

Local Franchisee Collaborates with Luxury Department Store on new Brand Initiative in American Dream Mall.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Blo Blow Dry Bar, North America’s original blow dry bar and the world’s largest blow dry bar franchise, has partnered with Saks Fifth Avenue to create the ‘Blo American Dream Pop Up’ located in the American Dream Mall at 1 American Dream Way, East Rutherford, NJ 07073. This 5-week partnership brings a pop up Blo Blow Dry Bar location to the mall’s luxury wing dubbed ‘The Avenue’, offering visitors a destination for quality blow outs now through Monday, October 25.

Behind Blo Blow Dry Bar’s first steps onto this new pink carpet is multi-unit franchisee, Kari Valcich, who owns and operates locations in Greenwich, CT, Franklin Lakes, NJ and Jersey City, NJ. Having opened her first Blo Blow Dry Bar less than three years ago, Valcich has already grown to become amongst the company’s top performing franchisees who cultivates success and innovation in each of her locations. Valcich’s own career journey has had highs and lows over the last two decades but ultimately has come full circle, resembling the true American Dream.

“Collaborating with Saks to bring a one-of-a-kind Blo Blow Dry Bar pop up location holds a special meaning to me,” shared Valcich. “Within each of my locations, I aim to create an experience that is specifically tailored to meet the needs and wants of the surrounding community. I look forward to the Blo American Dream Pop Up becoming a beauty destination for both local and visiting luxury-minded shoppers.”

The brand has implemented a collaborative environment since inception, welcoming franchisees to share ideas and new business strategies. Franchisee ideas are encouraged and all proposals are carefully evaluated. Strong ideas, such as adding makeup services to the menu, often become brand staples and business successes. Blo Blow Dry Bar looks forward to evolving this pop-up model into a brand-building opportunity for franchisees in additional markets.

“We believe that innovation and experimentation are keys to success, and that partnerships with brands that align with our values and mission are crucial opportunities for us to grow,” said Vanessa Yakobson, CEO of Blo Blow Dry Bar. “The chance to participate in high-profile projects is desirable to our franchisees and we look forward to exploring the potential of expanding partnerships, like this one with Saks, across our system.”

The Blo American Dream Pop Up reaps benefits for the brand, franchisees and for partner, Saks Fifth Avenue. Blo Blow Dry Bar looks at this initiative as an opportunity to expand the brand in existing locations and make all services accessible to more people. Franchisees have the opportunity to grow outside their brick-and-mortar locations with an additional revenue stream. The collaboration with Saks Fifth Avenue is a perfect match because target audiences and business goals are well aligned.

As e-commerce takes shoppers out of the mall, Blo Blow Dry Bar’s services represent an important strategy to attract customers back into the retail environment. The American Dream Mall itself represents this strategy through the offering of experiences that can’t be replicated at home.

The growing franchise is just at the start of the runway, staking its claim as a leader in the $47 billion a year industry and continues to expand at a rapid rate. Every year, more cities across the globe are painted pink. Every day, a new guest discovers how wonderful the Blo Blow Dry Bar experience is. Superior service and consistent results are a top priority for all guests as well as franchisees. The brand goes beyond beauty – it is strategically positioned to meet growing customer demands within the wellness and self-care industries with an established foundation for business success.

After thorough research, she learned franchising was the way to go and immediately felt at home after her first visit to Blo Blow Dry Bar. Schallmann’s favorite Blo feature is the Mane Squeeze Membership that provides easy access to signature styles anywhere in the country. Washington’s first bar is slated to open at the Mill Creek Plaza located at 16036 Bothell-Everett Highway & 164th Street SE Unit 19 in Mill Creek, WA 98012 by years end.

“If you know me, you know I love a good blowout,” said Schallmann. “I am so excited to roll out the pink carpet in the Seattle area and to be able to service and pamper every generation of guests that walk through our door. After my first visit, joining the Blo team seemed like the perfect fit. The company is backed by immense corporate support and the team is so passionate and knowledgeable – I can’t wait to build Blo into a neighborhood name.”

With a favorable real estate landscape and vast opportunity for market growth, company executives are actively seeking franchisees to continue to expand in key markets across the country.

“Adding passionate franchisees like Jennifer who believe in our brand will be a vital piece to the overall puzzle as Blo Blow Dry Bar continues to grow,” said, Patrick Pantano, Vice President, Franchise Development, Blo Blow Dry Bar. “This will be our first unit in the Seattle area, which is a strong city from a demographics standpoint for the brand. The combination of a strong franchisee and a ripe market creates great growth opportunity.”
