I have visited 5 or 6 times (more if you count the old location) and worked with 3 or 4 of the current stylists. If nothing else, this location has worked its way into my rotation as a reliable GoodThing. The customer service is great. Booking an appointment couldn't be easier, especially once you are an established client. I hesitate to recommend Victoria and Cinthia ... because I'm not ready to hear that they are fully booked with no room for me LOL. Yeah, yeah, yeah, every stylist is trained to do all types of hair mmhm, riiight ... only, see, no one has worked with my hair longer than I have. I generally know what this hair will and won't do without a fight and also which product types are nonstarters. I don't micromanage; I just watch and notice who hears me versus who doesn't or can't deliver. In other words, I am a blow-dry bar stylist's worst nightmare. With all that as context, I say that not every stylist there is a winner, but I've had no difficulty avoiding the one stylist who has twice demonstrated the limits to their listening and/or styling skills. I read some of the 1-star reviews and have to laugh. You mad at the cancellation charge for the appointment you didn't keep but throw shade on how they treated your hair {some other time, presumably, which raises the question why you were trying to come back)? Uh huh. Idk - I've never had a problem cancelling, but then I don't cancel last minute. I call when I'm running late (bc 10+ min late counts as missing the appointment) and, if necessary, they work to reschedule me for later the same day - sometimes just 15min later to avoid triggering the cancellation penalty. For me, a 1-star rating would mean the place is (1) nasty dirty, (2) racist/___phobic/hateful vibes, (3) truly and routinely hazardous to my hair, (4) criminal, or some combination of (1) - (4). If I'm brutally honest, 5-star ratings from me are hella rare because no place is perfect. Call this an instance where the fifth star is my attempt to bring some balance to what strikes me as 1-star foolishness. So that's that. This is a good place. Just don't overbok the stylists who do me right LOL. read more

If you don't want to do your own hair I understand coming to a blow dry bar but what I got do I could've easily done at home. The service was great, the lady who did my hair was great and it's a cute place but not sure if it was worth paying for. However, I do love when someone does my hair because that means I don't have to do it. I would go back if needed! read more

Arrived and there was no one at the front desk. I came to treat myself on my birthday and was immediately disappointed. Other girls were asked if they wanted wine/anything to drink. I was not offered anything. I also noticed the other two stylists working on girls ASKED them how they wanted their hair, with curled ends/blow out. My stylist just said "more volume?" And that was it...... After she blow dryed my hair and said we were finished, I asked her if she could curl one side of my hair more as it did not look the same as the other side and she acted like I was asking her for a billion dollar I've been here once before for my makeup and the artist did a great job which is why I came back. But this experience has def left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

I popped in for a blow dry without an appointment. They were able to sit me in within 30 minutes. Dee was my stylist and she did an excellent job. My hair looked great when I left and 2 days later it still looks goo read more

"I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my hair. The blowout was amazing, and you did an excellent job. The products you used are wonderful -- my hair has held up beautifully and lasted quite a while. Thank you!" read more

Stylist was about ten minutes late but also it was a holiday weekend so they were busy. They wash and condition your hair and style it. It looked great and lasted through the indoor event. I did ask to get something to last going out because friends were in town but she didn't put an anti frizz in there so it was a mess for Montrose. Otherwise pretty good. read more

Like another poster said been here before and experience was great as well as other location. Nobody was there to greet me, wasn't asked if I wanted to anything to drink and then told me oh we can't do your hair since I had extensions. Waste of time I'll keep my money. read more

I have visited several times with different requests of hairstyles, any of the stylists have consistently done a superb job. It's great to have it so close to home. I plan to use them again in the future for various events. Highly recommend. read more

So, I debating posting this for a couple days but it's still heavy on my mind. I came to blo blow dry bar on 11/11/22. I came for a blowout with extensions and she asked out I wanted it styled so I showed a pic. Now I want to say first, the girl who did my was SO kind, she was gentle with my wash, blow drying and placement of my extensions. The reason I am really unsatisfied and probably wouldn't recommend here is because what I asked for and what I go look nothing alike. (See pics) I spent 70 something dollars total(including tip bc again, the stylist was kind) but I really feel like I could've done this myself instead of paying so much.....as a college student making ends meet, I decided to treat myself for a special time (I was a bridesmaid this day) and I was just REALLY let down. I literally had to go back to the venue and do my own hair..... read more

Have had 3 stylists and loved them all! Highly recommend for a regular blow out or updo.

This was my first time at Blo and I have to admit I was skeptical as to what the quality would be as I was able to schedule an appointment the night before. Boy was I wrong! I scheduled a custom hairstyle with wash/blow dry. Although it is a bit pricey ($99) David did an amazing job on a wavy low ponytail hairstyle. It was even better than I had imagined and I received so many compliments! I will definitely be recommending Blo and returning for my next event! read more

Just left and my hair looks horrible and sad. I was so excited to treat myself to a blow out before an important photo session. Wanted blow out with bouncy curls and I said my hair doesn't curl well before we started and in my notes I said I'd need pinned up curls and told them I may need the curling iron. I Left with straight/messy/frizzy hair that looks like I just woke up - I wanted to ask for curls but as soon as she gave me the blow out " she said "okay you're good to go" and packed up her stuff and left. No time for me to ask for her to add curls. She was not nice at all and seemed like me being there was a huge inconvenience will not return at all as I felt like I had no opportunity to say I didn't like it or wanted to add curls / change it. I felt rushed out my appointment wasn't even the full hour. You're better just going to your hair stylist or doing your hair yourself. Bummer because I hate my hair and have no time before photos to fix it myself and I'm out $60. Sigh. read more

Blo Blow Dry Bar - So messy looks like I woke up this was when I left - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Houston, Texas

Used to have amazing service. I have not been there in about 5 months so management must have changed. They charged me $49 twice. I called to reschedule because it was raining so hard I couldn't get to them. The manager Stephanie would not even call me. This is very disappointing as this was my go to place for blow outs in Houston. Stay away until they get new management. Update: Primp and Blow is an amazing salon with top notch service. Great alternative to avoid this terrible service at this location. They use high end products not just Unite. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. They do a great job in doing your hair. I love that when you visit there is no wait and you are the only client that are servicing with no wait and long visits to the salon. read more

Had an appointment for a blowout on NYE, but never got that blowout because the salon was overbooked. I waited for half an hour, watching 2 other customers who arrived after me get their while I was left waiting, with no info from the staff about what was happening or when my service might actually take place before I left. This is my second bad experience with this store. I won't go back. read more

How can one NOT love a Blow Dry Bar? Someone is washing your hair. Someone is blowing drying your hair. Someone is styling your hair. You are doing nothing but relaxing (or chatting if you like to talk). I like how they don't overbook, so each customer gets the stylists' full attention for hair (and make up too)! I love this. If I could do this every week, I would. They also have crazy awesome deals, so sign up for text messages! I would love it if they offered me tea, wine, or coffee to help me further relax. I'm all about getting pampered. read more

As a new mom, I was thrilled with the opportunity to get my hair blown out for a work party. I looked forward to this appointment all day. Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience. Stylist insisted I didn't need a blow out and just a dry style. She quickly curled my hair and rushed me out of the chair. My hair fell as soon as I got home and I had to redo for the time of the event. Highlight of my time there was her trying to charge me for the full blowout that she refused to do. I understand everyone is busy this time of year but it's really unfortunate to not get what you paid for. I would have saved time and money had I initially just styled my own hair at home. Will not be returning. read more

Blo Blow Dry Bar - Hair immediately after returning home. Asked for "big curls". - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Houston, Texas

I booked online but later decided to add eye makeup to my appointment and was able to easily call and get my appointment rearranged. The salon itself is small and very warm. They need more space between stylists because mine and the only next to her could barely fit. My stylist was Na'J and she was amazing. Just overall so sweet and very good at her job. My hair was incredible and probably could have lasted forever. Her makeup skills were also great. She was able to give me exactly what I wanted even when I had trouble describing it. I don't live in Houston and I only got this done for an event, but I found it very affordable and worth the expense. I just wish there was a bit more space. read more

This place is terrible, the customer service is awful and not understanding at all. I would highly advise not going here. I am sick at home positive with Covid and needed to cancel my appointment, with no understanding at all they charged my card $25 for rescheduling due to being sick. Every other appointment I had to reschedule today due to being sick was understanding and did not charge me any fees. This place is ruthless and they burn off your hair. Don't go here. read more

What a great find! Jesse was attentive, professional & great at his job. I will now use Jesse for ALL my WEEKLY blowouts.

Quit going after being treated poorly, I made an early AM appointment; No apology and I ended up being quite stressed out after an hour's wait. I let them know I was bummed out and asked them if they could comp since it was so rushed and really evident that the person doing my hair was stressed out too. I I've always left a generous tip there too so don't get the attitude. I asked why they couldn't at least have texted me that they were running very late. 15 minutes is ok, but an hour? Then I didn't like the backlash and defensiveness. Overall bad vibes and indifference. I won't go back. They made me pay full so I think they should have just offered to fix my hair quickly, apologize genuinely, and extra mile it to offer a free service. No excuse for rude and eye rolling when I tried to tell them I was bummed out. read more

The stylist was very nice and I arrived 30 minutes early and was accommodated which is why I'm giving two stars but during my service it was extremely uncomfortable from the hair washing to pulling my hair when brushing through.. she also added an extreme amount of product that wasnt necessary prior to the blow dry, didn't ask if am OK with products being used, and put too much heat at my ends and they are frayed and destroyed. The clumps of product left at my roots had to be brushed out when I got home.. it was not great. read more

Had a blowout today with Irene and I am so happy with how my hair came out and my experience. As a stylist myself I notice the little things that really matter in creating great results and not only was she knowledgeable but she really took her time and did exactly what I wanted. I also told her it was my birthday and she offered me champagne and we sang beyoncé together. I will definitely be back. Thanks Kitty! read more

I was really 50/50 about getting my hair done for a wedding but I'm really bad about doing my own hair so I took a chance. Booked last minute and got Jessie/Jesse (sorry if I spell your name wrong) and asked for old Hollywood vintage waves. Brought my own extensions in and y'all.. my hair turned out so awesome! He was very informative and knew exactly what I was going for! Overall happy and recommend!! read more

I got the "Hollywould" blow out yesterday. Mandy was my stylist- she was really sweet and did a great job. She was very delicate with washing and drying my hair- which was so nice because sometimes stylists can be a little rough! My curls looked so great and I was impressed with how quick my appointment was. The quality of service, product, and time was all 5 star worthy! I will definitely come back, I'm trying to find an excuse for my next appointment! Updated : 03.22- I got hair and makeup done for photos and I just have to give a huge shoutout to Stephanie(@_beautybyglams) for my makeup! She listened to my requests and the final look was exactly what I wanted! I would definitely come back to her for makeup! Laura did a beautiful job with my blow out- but it started falling shortly after I took the pins out I think it's because my hair is so long and not the best at holding curl! It still looked great for the photos! read more

This is the worst salon I have visited. I went to the salon for a 6:15 appointment last Friday 3/25 for a quick blow out. The person over the phone helped to get me a same day appointment which I appreciated. I got in waited all of 5 mins after check in and was approached by a hair stylist asking if my name was something else. I said no he walked away and then came back and said my name I said yes. He said he would be doing my hair today. I said okay he introduce himself twice and said his name. I mentioned that I didn't need my hair washed or conditioner just blowed dried. He proceeded to do my hair and he was doing a good job in my opinion. As time went on I told him to just straighten the roots and showed him a pic of a wave style he said okay understood and began to curly my hair everything was fine, until he dropped the curling iron on my face specifically on the right side of my forehead. I screamed immediately and knocked the iron out of my face. He apologized a number of times and went to get a first aid kit. I googled what to do as my face was burning and I went to the cashier the individuals at the front were whispering and didn't even say sorry or anything they said this was free and I walked out. I understand accidents happen but I have a huge burn on my face and it's been almost a week no one reached out to see if I was okay, no one called to apologize and that's unacceptable. I do not recommend this salon. Now I'm stuck with a burn on my face and not even an apology was given but the owners smh. read more

Came in to get my hair blown out with an added braid and makeup for a photoshoot. Katherine did my makeup beautifully and kept it natural like I requested. Although it was a full coverage look, it didn't feel like it at all and she was done with my whole look in less than 30 minutes! She was very thorough with sanitizing all makeup products after using on me and wore a mask the whole time so I felt safe. I cannot remember the person's name who did my hair but I loved that as we! The braid turned out super cute and he left the curls very tight so I could go home and shake them out in time for my photoshoot, so they would hold up well. read more

I've been here four times and had eight services. Three visits were perfect and one was just off, although they did try to address and resolve my concern, which was much appreciated. Overall I'm very impressed with the stylists for both hair and makeup. I would not hesitate to recommend both. Like anywhere else, it may take a try or two to find a stylist that gets you, but it happened quickly for me - yay! The Unite hair products are nice too. The biggest surprise for me was the makeup. They use a neat line - Glo, I believe - and it just looks great. The artists are very professional and hygienic and will communicate well with you throughout the process. I've even bought several items. Blo tries to make it fun. The music is good, there is champagne and easy parking, later hours and they often have specials too. read more

Loved the atmosphere and was a nice experience. The only complaint is that I paid for extended service to curl my daughters hair. Service ended up being normal time when her hair could have been curled more. But I was still charged the extended time. read more

Terrible, expensive experience. Will not return. My hair looked so bad...another stylist tried to fix it...that didn't work.

Booked hair & makeup appointment for my daughter's wedding based on availability & proximity to downtown Houston. I've never been happier with service or end result, and only wished I didn't live in another state, otherwise I'd visit Blo weekly! Highly recommend!! read more

Amanda did an AMAZING job helping me get my hair styled for a photoshoot This was my first time at the Blo Blow Dry Bar at Montrose, I did not know what to expect. I thought it would be a quick blowdrying and styling. Yet I got so much more attention and learned so much on how to better take care of my hair. I felt like I had a celebrity hairdo afterward. Hands down Amanda is awesome. Definitely coming back read more

Katherine is very attentive and skilled. Am very happy with the results from basic shampoo and blowout. Clean store. Friendly staff.

As soon as I came in, I was greeted. I was asked if I wanted a beverage. I didn't wait long to be serviced. My stylist did a great job, and I would definitely go back for another service! Gustavia H read more

This location was super nice I was running late on a Saturday morning to my 9 am appointment and tried to call the store earlier before they opened in case they had earlier clients. They were closed but right after 9 they had called me back asking if I had called. They were able to move my appointment that morning which was amazing. That was amazing service and I really appreciated it. My hair was styled to perfection, and I knew I was going to have great hair the moment my stylist started to straighten my baby hairs around my face before she went in with a curling iron. That rarely happens and I was so impressed by her attention to detail. Overall, I loved this location and hope to book next time when I'm in the area again. read more
