Horrible experience. Very dirty salon. The owner preformed hair services for profit + gratuity without a cosmetology license. @ owner Afsheen Ali
I rented out the blow dry bar for the morning of my wedding for my bridesmaids and my hair and makeup to be done. They did an awesome job!! It was such a great experience for a good price. The staff is respectable and kind; they really listen to what you want done. My hair/makeup look lasted the entire day with minimal touch up needed. I would 100% use them again and highly recommend them! They helped make my wedding day fabulous.
Blo Blow was incredible and professional every step of the way. During my trial, Yara took her time with me to make sure I loved every part of my hair and makeup. On my wedding day, the team showed up perfectly on time and got us all ready with plenty of time to spare. All of them were so nice and really helped set the mood for the morning. I would highly recommend blo blow!
I hired Blo Blow Dry Bar for my pre-wedding consult and Wedding Day services. Afsheen was very prompt in answering my queries.
Pre-wedding consult - It was great to be able to have preview of what you would look like on your wedding day. Based upon the final result of make-up & hair, I was also able to address some tweaks for the wedding day.
Wedding day - Afsheen and her team arrived right on time at our house, with all their gear to do hair & make-up for myself and my daughter & step-daughter. It was absolute fun to begin the Wedding Day with Afsheen’s hair & make-up team!! Afsheen’s team did a fabulous job on our hair & make-up! We all got so many compliments and the wedding pictures turned out beautiful!!
I highly recommend Blo Blow Dry Bar @ Homewood for make-up & hair!!
I reached out to Blo regarding my need for Bridal glam for myself and my bridesmaids. the owner sent me a couple of options including booking Blo exclusively for my bridal party in bar. I thought that was a great idea! From then on, our communication and coordination was great. On the day of, we were greeted with warmth, a table was set to serve food, champagne and mimosas were served for my party. I felt like a queen! It was a very relaxed and stress free environment with great music. Their team did a fantastic job with hair and makeup, making us all look & feel super gorgeous. I highly recommend Blo for their professionalism, team work, communication and greatly skilled at special occasion styling and makeup. It is very rare to find a place that will do it all for you, and this is the one!! Thank you Blo for making my day so special !!
Loved my experience at Blo. We opted to book my bridal party at the salon and it was the best decision ever! The entire team of Blo made me and my bridesmaids feel so special and beautiful. Hair and makeup was on point. We even went for blowouts for my rehearsal dinner. Overall, highly recommend!
Based on my recent experience, I strongly do NOT recommend Blo Blow Dry Bar for your bridal party services. I had seven in total and I found working with Afsheen (the owner) to be difficult and her professional flexibility lacking.
It felt like a stickup. Prior to my wedding, we agreed that I would pay 50% deposit for her services and the remainder 50% after her services were rendered.
I communicated that my MIL + SIL wanted blowouts on Saturday when her team chased me for them. I offered to explore alternate solutions to give them that "blow-out" look. I can only prove with text receipts that I offered to bring any tools onsite, but we discussed coming into the salon to make this happen over the phone.
However, Afsheen was not flexible or accommodating with us AT ALL. It was at this moment (on the night before my wedding while I was at my rehearsal dinner) that she demanded the remaining 50% total be paid by 5pm that evening. She set a timer. If I did not Venmo her in time, I would not receive my 50% deposit back that I had already paid.
This whole thing felt like a money grab. Brides, here are few more things to consider before deciding to Blo your Big Day: It's $125 per service & the hair options are weakkkk for what I consider a HAIR salon. That price means no updo, no braid, no blow out for $125 + a "contractually mandatory 20% tip". So what do they do for $125? For a place that prides itself on it's blow-outs, it's only a flat iron and a curling iron - a blow dryer is not considered a hot tool.
Additionally, Afsheen was decided at this time to up-charge my 12-year-old sister's makeup as an adult, even though she had quoted me an express charge of $75 previously.
Ultimately, how Afsheen handled this situation left me feeling chaotic the night before my wedding. My family members involved later described their experience working with Blo as inappropriate, unprofessional, and shocking.
