| - Oh nooooooo!
I came to Blo on a Friday afternoon, with plans to get a blow out for a Holiday Party that evening. I'm new to Oakville, and didn't want to risk a salon I didn't know, and since Blo is a franchise and the price was right, I figured it was worth a try.
Do I ever wish I had just tried another salon!
My experience was bad from start to finish.
When I arrived, there was some confusion about who I was there to see, but it was sorted pretty quickly. I ended up with a stylist who seemed a little nervous, but thinking she could be new I decided to let it go.
I'm pretty easy going when it comes to how my hair is done, and I basically just said I wanted it up. I was anticipating a wash a blow dry, but she said it would be easier to style my hair dry. Fine. Then styling it curly was easier (I have pretty curly hair) which was also fine. Then she ATTACKED ME with a HAIR BRUSH and hairspray, and brushed out all my curls, and was surprised when my hair was no longer curly. WHAT???
Throughout the entire styling, my hair was yanked (it hurt!) and brutally brushed (my poor hair!) and almost every pin that went in I had to reassure her that my hair looked fine.
The other stylists in the room throughout my experience were quite unprofessional - joking about having a drink (one seemed serious and had a bottle out, the other shut him down) even while they had clients in their chairs.
In the end, my hair did look fine (though it looked like I did it myself) but I'm still dealing with the repercussions of the brutal brushing. My poor curls.
Two stars because the price was cheap, at least I didn't waste my money, and the resulting updo was fine.
Will I be back? Never.
