Ever since I moved to Tampa in 2024, Blo Blow Dry Bar has been an essential part of my routine! I…read moresigned up for their membership right away, and it is incredibly worth it--it makes regular styling so affordable.I come here at least once a week to keep my hair looking its best. During my weekly visits, I love getting their deep conditioning treatment and adding on the eye patches for extra moisturizing while they work on my hair. I also always treat myself to a relaxing scalp massage and a flawless blowout with different styles each time.Just a heads-up for anyone looking: they don't do hair extensions or color, but they are the absolute best at what they do! My experiences here have always been great, especially thanks to Bre and Mel, who are both amazing.Beyond hair, they also do gorgeous makeup. I actually had my Halloween makeup done here last year, and it came out beautifully! (Posting a photo for reference!)The entire team is always helpful, professional, and does a fantastic job. Plus, they are open on weekends, which is a total lifesaver for those of us who can't make it in during the week. Highly recommend!

Went to Blo Blow Dry Bar for a hair wash and blowout and had a great experience. It was really…read morequick and easy to get an appointment, which I appreciated. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the salon itself seemed clean and well maintained. I also thought the prices were reasonable, and my hair felt amazing afterward. Overall a smooth, easy experience and I would definitely come back. ‍

I stopped by MAC Cosmetics for Free Lipstick Day, and the experience was smooth and surprisingly…read morepleasant. I arrived about 10 minutes before the store opened and was the first one there. Just as they opened, one other person walked up, so no lines or crowds at all. I was greeted warmly by a friendly MAC associate who asked if I was looking to purchase anything. I let her know I had recently stocked up at another store, and without any pressure, she handed me a free MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick. No purchase, no email signup, no credit card required--just a quick, kind gesture that made my morning. Also worth noting: they currently have a lipstick sale going on--up to 40% off many shades, but it ends today, so now's the time to grab a few extras if you're a fan of their formulas. Big thanks to MAC for keeping it simple and generous. I'd absolutely go back and hope they continue doing events like this in the future!

We were in the market for the studio fix compact for my daughter. She needed to be color matched which the staff member was very friendly and helped up out. She matched her, we bought one and left.

They did it again! I'm a loyal Chicago client and was thrilled to book my appointment for their new…read morelocation because I happened to be in Tampa. To be honest, I was a little jealous that their new location was getting so much love on their instagram. I felt like the first kid and the new baby was getting all the attention. I understand why! They picked the perfect spot to bring the aesthetic and vibes or GP, but make it Tampa. Alright, the important stuff. The hair. As expected, I got the perfect dry blowout. I love that they used the flat iron technique because it ensures longevity, especially on a warm day. I kid you not, I feel like a new woman when I leave GP. They always listen to what I want and I leave with the exact look I wanted. Waves with straight ends that make me look playful but polished. Can't wait to come back!

I purchased a $450 makeup lesson as a birthday gift for my girlfriend, who was genuinely excited…read moreabout doing an in-person lesson. I paid the full amount upfront, even though only a 50% deposit was required, because I wanted her gift completely taken care of. We realized two weeks before the scheduled lesson that it was actually virtual and immediately reached out to explain the honest mistake and request a refund. No lesson or service had been provided. I was told an in-person lesson would be $850, plus I would be responsible for her flight, hotel, meals/per diem, and travel expenses. I also found it confusing that her business is advertised on Yelp under a Tampa address, despite her not living in Tampa. Despite reaching out two weeks in advance, our refund was refused. What was supposed to be a special birthday gift has now left us out $450. After the way this was handled, we aren't even comfortable using the virtual lesson or transferable credit. There seemed to be zero compassion or flexibility for another person's honest mistake, even though no service had been performed. I understand businesses have policies, but I also believe there should be a human element to customer service. Unfortunately, that was completely missing from our experience.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jackie!!! She is personable, very comfortable to be around, listens to what you…read morewant and does a fabulous job at making you look great! She did my makeup (and my sister & niece as well) for my son's wedding which was outside in Florida- and I was terrified my makeup was going to melt off. She knew I was concerned about sweating & crying so she did her thing, and I have to say, that my makeup (including my lashes and my lipstick) did not need one touch up from 5pm to 11pm (with 2 hours of that being outside)!!! no mascara running, no lashes falling off, no foundation melting off. Of course, I sweated slightly - but I took some blotting tissue and that took care of it- but she took care to really matte my makeup, so it didn't affect the look. I'll also mention that I'm 51, my sister is 47, and my niece is 26- and we all looked great! The other thing I'll mention is her professionalism. She answered calls & texts promptly, showed up on time, and overall was extremely professional. If I need makeup done again, I would definitely go to her and I very much recommend her!!!
