The Blo Blow Dry Bar chain of blow dry salons closed out 2025 with strong franchise development momentum, fueling growing interest and strengthening the brand’s position as a leader in the beauty industry. Awarding 30 new franchise units in 2025, Blo Blow Dry Bar has seen a 50 percent increase over 2024 and opened 16 new locations across key markets in the U.S. and Canada. Notably, 27 percent of new units awarded this year were signed by existing franchise partners, reflecting continued belief in the brand’s business model, operational support, and long-term growth potential. Expanding franchise agreements signed this year include multiple Canadian markets, multiple Florida markets, and the New Hampshire/Massachusetts region. Since opening its first location in Canada in 2007, Blo has grown to over 165 locations across the U.S. and Canada and continues to expand rapidly. Looking ahead to 2026, Blo Blow Dry Bar is preparing for a year of strategic innovation and brand evolution, including new marketing initiatives designed to increase visit frequency and lifetime guest value, along with continued enhancements to franchisee training, support, and operational tools. Blo Blow Dry Bar is currently seeking single- and multi-unit operators to join the growing team and further expansion across North America with a key focus on development throughout the Northeast and Atlantic Coast. The Blo Blow Dry Bar prefers to locate in street front and high traffic plaza locations in high density markets with broad catchment neighbourhoods. Stores do well when located near gyms and upscale grocers. The units will operate in 800 to 1000 square feet with high visibility and foot traffic.
