Blo Blow Dry Bar — North America's original and largest blow dry bar franchise — has signed a new franchise agreement in Phoenix, Arizona. This move marks the brand's continued expansion into one of the country's fastest-growing markets for franchising, with local entrepreneur Tia Wilson leading the development of the state's fourth location.
Wilson brings over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, having been licensed as a cosmetologist since high school, alongside a parallel career in education where she earned master's degrees in school counseling and education and human relations. She is currently in the early stages of site selection for the Blo Blow Dry Bar franchise.
This expansion comes as Blo Blow Dry Bar operates more than 170 locations across the United States and Canada. The business specializes in a 'no cuts, no color' concept to exclusively provide blow-out services alongside makeup applications, membership programs, and retail products.
