| - I had to get 6 inches of hair cut off because of my blo bar experience.
First and LAST time I will ever step foot into a Blo Bar - and girls, please take a read before risking your hair!
I went to blo bar to get my hair done for New Year's Eve. I thought, "why not?!" a quick way to get a wash and style before heading out without a ridiculous price. I'd like to say "you get what you pay for" but I got far worse.
To start, the staff that work there are clueless and the least helpful I have ever experience. They were barely able to give me directions to the location as I had never been in the path before, multiple entrances were blocked off and I was having difficulty accessing it.
After my wash, my stylist asked me what I would like done to my hair. I told her my hair holds really easily and I'd like really loose wave with a lot of volume. She started drying my hair, yanking at it with a horrible brush and rushing it to get it dry. Then proceeded to curl my hair with a flat iron into tight ringlets. I tried to stop her, but she told me not to worry - she's not done and it'll all drop and loosen up. By the end, I had tight ringlets of curls in my hair like I looked like I was going to an 80's prom. She could tell that I was unhappy with it and decided to brush through my whole head and continued to yank at my hair. (it looked like i had frizzy curls and was partly electrocuted)
They were sharing 1 bottle of hairspray throughout the whole salon, and other hairdressers were walking around speaking loudly, swearing and eating a large bag of chips around the salon, wiping their hands on their clothes and proceeding to do hair. Absolutely embarrassing.
Not only did I have to pay for my service, but THEY FORCED ME TO TIP! How tacky!
I had to go home and shower, redo my hair myself and realized that my hair was nice and crispy. I have very long hair, no bangs, spent the last year growing out my layers. My hair framing my face was burned off and all different lengths. Obviously a girl's worst nightmare.
I tried to email the salon to express my concerns and let them know how badly my hair was burned (sent pictures and all). I got a very poorly email written back, not even proper grammar and sentences basically saying "oops, why don't you come back in for another blow out!" As if I'd ever like to return.
I've had to cut my hair twice since new years to fix this burn. My hairdresser told me that it looks like they used a bad brush and a straightener that was too hot when my hair was still wet, causing the burn. I've had to get bangs and re-do layers. My cheap blowout has cost me over $300 in cuts and products to try and fix my hair - and I still have some crispy pieces and a ton of fly-aways.
The best part is - the company couldn't care less. I guess they really do stand by their work.
So ladies, if you'd like to take a risk at burning off your beautiful hair for a cheap, trashy and unprofessional salon - I'd fully recommend Blo Bar! You'll love the results!
