Blo Blow Dry Bar

Kathy at Blo gave me an amazing blowout and the customer service was exceptional. She is attentive, a pleasure to chit chat with and most importantly, listened and gave me exactly what I wanted for the blowout. I highly recommend the salon and Kathy and will be returning.

STELLAR!!! Love this location!!! Geri, Kyla & Courtney are amazing! Attention to detail, gave us exactly what we wanted. Love love love!!!

I was looking to book a last minute blow out for my company holiday party and hit the jackpot with an opening at Blo South End. I was teamed up with Kathy G. and underwent a complete transformation. My hair is straight and thin and boring and Kathy worked some superhuman style to give me the best styling I have ever received from NY to LA. I stopped counting the number of complements I recieved that night after 10 but I contribute it all to the team at Blo. From reception up to management this is the place to stop before any night out.
Book hair with Kathy and make sure to say hi to Nathan their energy is infectious and the time spent there was indulgent.

Whether going to an event or it’s just a random day of the week I love coming into Blo. The salon is beautiful and the service is fabulous everytime… always leave feeling pretty! Nathan is amazing!!!

I have been coming to Blo since mid 2015 and found a stylist I loved, she was phenomenal! I have loved going to Blo since then since she was great and the place is perfect, I always felt at ease and not overwhelmed like other large blow dry bars.
My go-​to stylist left the salon recently and I had an appointment for NYE already lined up. I went today (NYE) and I wasn’t sure what to expect! As I walked in a girl was checking out who had a gorgeous blowout, and lucky for me I was placed with they stylist who had done it — Kathy! Kathy and I instantly clicked, she was extremely warm and welcoming, she made me feel so beautiful and kept complimenting my hair (long and thick, most stylists get scared!). Kathy has clearly had a lot of experience and took the time to curl my hair with a round brush, and give it a super full sexy look! She even gave me tips on how to style my hair myself. I loved it! Can’t wait to see Kathy soon!
One thing I realized today was, my experience at other blowdry bars have been very impersonal, almost like they are used to a ton of people coming in who will never come again and have accepted that, at blo I feel like the stylists make everyone feel like a regular client who comes often, which means a lot and helps build a relationship.

Liz did a great job on my hair that I got done for my work Christmas party last Sunday! Everyone is friendly, I definitely recommend this Blow dry bar!

Nathan and is crew are all amazing. I have a ton of thick hair and my blow out lasts over 5 days every time. And they all seem so happy to do it!

I can’t say enough good things about Blo. I have a LOT of thick long hair and get blow outs twice a week. With my travel for work, it gets difficult to schedule so I’ve tried many difference places around Prudential Center. All with no luck… blowouts were ok but didn’t last more than a day or two, and they seemed to take forever. After giving it several tries, I can say I am NOT a fan of drybar. At a loss one day my colleague recommended Blo. Thank goodness she did. I saw Nathan and he is awesome! Best blow outs, great wash, and terrific products. He is often booked so I’ve also seen Courtney and Jojo who are also great. Reasonably priced too!

So my review is LONG overdue. Like … Seriously I haven’t been in a year and the person who did my hair just recently left the salon. However, I just thought I would share since I just got Unilocal and help out. :)
I have thick and curly hair and was nervous about trying out Blo but I was amazed with the result. Nice location and beautiful salon. Totally accommodating and for what I paid my blow out lasted me a very long time. I plan on returning and hopefully I get the same great result!

You certain my did «blo me away»! I came in for a blowout before leaving for vacation. This was my first visit to a blow dry only salon and I was a bit nervous, since I have thick, curly hair. Well, let me tell you that it was worth every penny! Jo-​Jo (sorry if I misspelled!) gave me the best blowout I have had in a LONG time. My hair is sleek, shiny, and so straight. I will definitely be back!

I had never been to one of these before but really loved the idea of going here before a wedding. I got there early for my appointment, hoping they could take me because I have a lot of hair, but had to wait — even 15 minutes past my actual appointment time. I was excited though to see some other clients leaving with gorgeous hair and couldn’t wait to have mine done. By the time I got to the sink to have my hair washed, I was feeling nervous about the time. The whole process just seemed very slow. Fast forward to the end — my hair came out in WAY tighter curls than I wanted/​asked for and it took a full TWO hours, which made me super late for a makeup appointment somewhere else. I would still go back, however, but will be sure to pick a simpler style and mention while booking the appointment how long my hair took to work with last time.

This past Saturday, I was feeling blah about my hair, so I called Blo Blow Dry Bar after a random Unilocal search and squeezed in an appointment for that very evening. I arrived and checked in and was immediately offered coffee, tea, or water and got hooked up on their wifi, which was great.
I did wind up waiting for close to 25 minutes before getting seated and set for my blow dry. I was the last appointment of the day, so I can imagine things back up, but I brought a book and wasn’t in a rush, so no problem. Katie took care of me, and was perfect — I don’t recall the name of the blow out she gave me — red carpet? — but she was open to modifying it a bit to my taste and it turned out amazingly. Great shampoo, thorough, but quick blow out, touch ups with a flat iron, and some really nice smelling products, and I was a happy camper. She took her time even though she had me in the chair past closing.
I would have walked out perfectly content, but when I went to check out, the front desk let me know my services were comped, because they were running late. Customer service was above and beyond and a thoughtful gesture like that will ensure I will be back very, very soon.
It’s Tuesday now and with a little dry shampoo, my hair still looks incredible. Wish I lived closer to the South End location so I could treat myself even more often. I will definitely be back.

I went to Blo Bar to get my hair done for prom and they did an amazing job! I just showed my stylist a picture of what I wanted and she recreated it spot on. The curls lasted all night long and I couldn’t have been happier. Can’t wait to come back for my next blow out!

Went in for the first time today with a friend. They were quite busy (Friday afternoon). My friend was taken at our appointment time which was 3:15, the girl next to me asked what time our appointments were for, she’d been waiting since 2:30! Almost an hour. When I went to get my hair washed they told me they «ran out of hot water» as they sometimes do on weekends. Uh, what? So, I had my hair washed in ice cold water. (The hair washing is usually my favorite part!). I was so disappointed by this. Told the girl at the desk that I thought that was unpleasant and she also simply said «that happens». Likely won’t go back.

I had my first blow dry bar experience here today. It was great! Courtney, my stylist, pulled off an excellent «pillow talk.» (See photo.) I was getting my hair done for a photo shoot, and I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you!

UGH I’m obsessed! This is my new guilty pleasure. I went around noon to get my hair done for my birthday. We were going out around 8. They made sure to spray my hair and put in a ton of pins to make sure it held.
ANYWAY so make sure to book early, especially on the weekends! I made appointments for me and my friend, but one was at 12 and the other at 12:45. Luckily they offered us coffee and tea so we could relax and read a magazine while the other had their hair done.
The girl that did my hair was great. She was talkative and also showed me what she was doing, and made sure I approved how it looked. I opted for a SUPER big top bun.
I can’t tell you how happy I was with it. It felt nice and tight, and she showed me how to pin it in case any strands fell out. I plan on using them for any parties/​weddings I have in the future.

So this review is way over due. As in I had my hair done in October and then had my whole family sick for a week and then forgot I never reviewed them and wanted to. So now here I am.
I was in Boston a few days prior to my 40^th birthday to visit family and just hang out. I usually always have a hair appointment on or around my birthday and usually end up with a great blowout and maybe color. After spending a lot to deal with my hair in its natural state (curly) I was missing the ease of it being straight and the pampering I get from a salon visit. Enter Blo. I debated going here and Drybar. After reading all the reviews I decide to give Blo a chance.
I was a walk in and was able to get seated after a 10 minute wait. It was on a Monday afternoon around 3 or so. I can not remember the girl who did my hair but she is young and Hispanic and did one hell of a job on my hair. I think she had only been working at Blo since the summer and when she said that I was worried. Needlessly. My hair looked fabulous. I felt fabulous and the true test was the reaction I got from my family when I got back to our hotel. And the fact that my curls lasted the whole rest of the week. I was amazed.
This place is a definite gem and in a great little neighborhood. If you are debating between Blo and Drybar… give Blo a chance! I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Thank the wedding gods that i found Nathan and his team at Blo Dry Bar South End for my wedding hair, and for my bridesmaids’.
I knew I was in good hands after my trial run with Nathan a few months out from the big day. He is extremely talented (I have quite the mane, and it takes someone who really knows what he’s doing to make it to work and stay), full of energy and attentive to details (had me send him pictures throughout the trial day to see how the style held), really went above and beyond to help me dial in my look (even when I changed it the morning of, he brought out some serious magic and gave me perfect diva hair), and was such a blast to work with and super accommodating (I worked with him again for a blow out for my shower, and he set up a special appointment for me).
PLUS he helped me work out «in-​bar bridal hair service» for me and my 8 bridesmaids, so that we could all be done in 2 hours — the party beats, good vibes, and bubbles were free flowing and fabulous. Who doesn’t want to have an in-​bar blowout party with her closest friends on her wedding day? Awesome. And so incredibly affordable. BEST logistic and financial decision ever.
Nathan’s team at blo is The Team you want styling your hair for your wedding, or any special occasion (we had the range of hair types and styles, and all held up through the wedding day).
He also hooked me up with my wedding makeup artist — Amanda, who did flawless airbrush for me — and I am so grateful that he connected us. It also saved me tons of prep time to be able to have hair and makeup done in the same place.
THANK YOU so much for making my diva hair (and makeup) dreams come true on my wedding day! I cannot wait to move back to Boston so that I can come in for blowouts more often

Loved this place. Go see Bridget!
I went on Saturday afternoon to get glammed up for a wedding. She did an awesome job of listening to what I wanted and also made some recommendations. The weather was awful and the «do» lasted all night.
Overall, the staff was great, including the receptionist (name I can’t remember) — super friendly and attentive.
The fact that I’m writing a review means I loved it since I never do this. I’ll definitely be going back!
Sidenote: I also didn’t hate the Pandora station dedicated to boy bands :)

Always had a very positive experience here; the women are all very nice and they always have had lots of availability granted you book in advance.
I won’t give it five stars because every single time I come here I wait to be seen. If I have an appt. at 4:30 it is always at least 4:40pm until I am seen. Not a huge deal but again, doesn’t make it on par with other nice salons in the South End. I suggest they book larger appointment times instead of going back to back so the girls have time prepare for the next person.
Otherwise, very excellent and def. plan to continue coming here!
