BLO/OUT Blow Dry Bar

Great service and my hair turned out fabulous!
Big shout out to Tiya, she does a great job!

I had an amazing experience at BLO/​OUT. I have long, thick, natural hair and Leah did a FANTASTIC job! If I were a local, I’d be a regular for sure! Not only did she get my hair straight/​silky, she gave me the best barrel curls for a wedding. Said curls have fallen out perfectly and my hair continues to look great!

I went here for the first time with high hopes because it’s close to where I live and it has late hours. I was very disappointed. The only reason I’m giving this one star is because the salon is very cute. The stylists that did my hair pulled half of my hair extensions out and I had to tell her multiple times to turn down the blow dryer because it was too hot. And she left my bangs with a cow lick in them and I was charged$ 40 for something a 5 year old could do. Never again!

Visited from out of town for a wedding. Booked updo and makeup here not knowing what to expect. I was amazed by Tiya’s work! She listened to what I wanted and created it even better than I expected. I wish I lived in the area to use her services more often, thanks!

I stopped by Blo Out for an updo and makeup appointment at noon. My appointment was scheduled for 12:00pm, but I end up waiting 10 extra mins for my stylist (I didn’t really mind). When I was in the chair, Kelsey asked me which styles I liked, what I had in mind, etc. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she replicated it exactly!
After the hair was done, Kelsey took me upstairs where the makeup was going to be done. I thought the foundation was a bit too dark for my skin color, but I didn’t realize until I left the salon. The eyeshadow wasn’t blended quite enough so I had to blend it out with my finger a bit to fix it. But overall, I liked how everything turned out. In the future, I’ll return just for the hair services.

Fabulous! I wish I remembered with accuracy who my stylist was… Chrissy? She’s the shorter blonde gal in the first chair. She rocked my world and left me with an amazing blow dry. She was pretty no nonsense… not a lot of small talk, just the basics, which I prefer when I am relaxing. She gave me an awesome shampoo and kept apologizing for being «rough», but I loved it! She dried me up super fast and gave me a ton of volume and waves that were perfect for my bridesmaid look. It was awesome! I spend $ 40 on my do while the other gals in the wedding spent $ 100+!
I would highly recommend!

I have been coming to Blo/​Out Rittenhouse since they opened and I have yet to be disappointed. My services have always been fast, on point, and I receive tons of compliments on my hair. Thank you ladies for always making me look beautiful!!!

I got my hair done by Marianne and so loved my hair! I needed my roots done, highlights touch up and blow out. She was very knowledgeable about what specific color combination to do so it could match my existing highlights flawlessly & the blair style blowout turned out to be exactly what I wanted, my hair looks amazing, have and still getting many compliments! Everyone is very friendly and sure know how to treat customers by offering coffee, mimosas, champagne and wine! Marianne is a very knowledgeable, fabulous & highly professional stylist and great person! I totally recommend this salon!

This was my first experience here and I couldn’t have been happier with the service I received. Mohammed did an awesome job on my hair and was so enjoyable to interact with. I will definitely be coming back again.

Had an amazing blow out and extensions put in before a wedding with Caitlin bShe was so wonderful, warm, professional and friendly. the whole place has a great vibe. Highly recommended.

Great experience! Shayna was gentle and creative with my hairstyle for formal! Get make up done by Briana! I don’t wear makeup and completely trusted her with my face and she made me feel beautiful!

I just had my first blow out here, and holy smokes it won’t be the last. I dread blowing out my own hair — and now I never need to do it again. Brianna was my stylist — patient, kind, and an absolute genius. I wanted a 40s look, and she made me look like a pin-​up model in the best possible way. Stacie was the stylist for my friend, and equally made her look like the model she should be. They were kind enough move their chairs so my friend and I could chat. I will be back!

My first visit (about 1.5 years ago) to to Blo/​Out was great– the stylist was quick, friendly, and did a professional-​level express blo/​out style that saved me time and looked lovely.
I decided to give the salon another try recently for a wedding. I called a few days beforehand, and received a snippy attitude from the receptionist while asking questions about the different services. Thinking that maybe it was a busy day in the salon and they were receiving a high volume of phone calls, I stopped in on my way home from work to book the appointment. Again, I received the same attitude in person.
I called back the next day and spoke with someone new, set my appointment, and came in to receive my blo/​out and soft curl, which was flat, sticky, frizzy and just not up to professional blo-​dry standards. Thankfully, I had time to go home and re-​do my hair.
I think that an issue with this salon is inconsistency in talent levels among the stylists. The two times I’ve visited, I’ve seen both gorgeous and not-​so-​gorgeous hair leaving the salon. If you’re able to find a stylist here who you’ve experienced great service with, it’s a good option for an affordable and efficient style. However, blindly booking a service with an unknown stylist is risky and unfortunately, left me disappointed.

I came here for makeup and a blow out for my bridal shower. I have never been here before but I will definitely be back. Tiya did my hair and makeup and I was so surprised at how beautiful a job she did! Since it is not one of the expensive fancy salons, I was not sure what to expect. I was blown away!
I asked for vintage finger waves and Tiya was a pro! She blew my hair dry and then pinned up the curls like you are supposed to do for this style. I have been to salons that don’t understand this and just use a plain old curling iron. While my hair sat, Tiya proceeded to do my makeup. She asked how I usually wear my makeup and I pretty much let her have free reign to do her thing. Did she ever! I left feeling so beautiful and glamorous! I would definitely recommend her for makeup and hair! Everyone at the shower was in love with my new look!!! I honestly can’t say enough about how sweet and professional Tiya was.
You can’y beat the price either — $ 85 for hair and makeup (I did not get my hair washed though because I came straight from the shower! That is an additional fee.) I got a top notch hair do that stayed in tact the next day. It was as perfect as when she had first done it. This was very surprising to me as my hair never stays in any style for more than a day.
All in all, well done!!!

My second time here. Overall, good prices and services. Easy to make appointments and complementary drink. Meet to exceed blow out expectations.
First time I was here for a blow out before a work holiday party. When I came in, I was greeted right away and the stylist wash my hair then gave me a blow out. I asked for big hair with curls. While there were a lot of curls, my hair wasn’t tease enough on top. I asked her to do a little more, it didn’t look any different but I also have fine, thin hair so I don’t think I can blame her.
My second time I was here, it was for color. I made an appointment for single process hair coloring to get rid of my balayage blonde and brown highlights. The end results of my hair are fine, I have black hair and she dyed my hair black. I would have to give 3 stars to this appointment since the girl was dead silent the entire time, which creeped me out since we were on the 3^rd floor by ourselves.

This review is for the coloring services.
I’ve been a loyal blow dry fan for almost two years now but have expanded my services here. About six months ago, I started using Khelsea for help with my unfortunate greys. Like all the services here — it is efficient and effective. Khelsea does any amazing job with my color and does it in about half the time of the other salons I frequented before. The color is beautiful, I come out looking like a rock star and the price beats the Rittenhouse salons hands down!

I have been going to the BLO/​OUT Bar for a little over a year. I have had a few stylists I have gone to but I have now I book with Marianne who is super friendly and does a great job, takes her time and listens to what you are looking for that day, and has a great work schedule to accommodate a variety of times you could come in.
This place is super convenient and I have never had to wait for more than a few minutes after my scheduled appointment. I love that the hours are from super early in the morning (I can go before work) or later in the evening so I can before I head out somewhere. I usually opt for a simple blowout which just makes my existing style last longer and be smoother. This works particularly well for weekends I travel and then I dont have to wash my hair, just re-​curl and maybe throw some dry shampoo on my bangs after a few days.
I will say that some stylists are better than others, but that is why I recommend Marianne, or finding someone you like and booking with them so they can get to know what you are looking for.
I recently booked the 10 blo out package which is a great deal if you know you will be coming regularly to save on your blowouts.

I was hesitant at first to come here because usually a hair appointment could either go really well or horribly wrong, plus I usually like to live safely. But let me tell you, this was a wonderful experience!
My hair stylist was Jazia but she introduced herself as Jazzi, and she was AMAZING. She offered me a mimosa at 8:30am in the morning and there was no judgement at all. The salon looks so professional, cute, and cool. With pop music blaring, it’s hard not to get in the mood to have fun and be pampered.
Oh my buddha, speaking of being pampered, with the Unilocal check-​in, I received $ 5 off a $ 10, 10 minute, scalp massage so I thought to myself, «Why not? You’re already here, live a little dangerously». BEST. $ 5. EVER. SPENT. When Jazzi washed my hair and gave me the massage, it felt like I was in a deep massage therapy session. It was extremely soothing and so good, I was basically succumbing into a trance, ya’ll. Even though my ears could hear the pop music playing, inside my head, slow music of waterfalls and flutes were playing like I was transported to some spa resort. Forreals.
Then came the actual blow drying. Again, it was so relaxing, I mean, the mimosa on an empty stomach had a lot to do with that too. Jazzi asked what I wanted it and worked really hard to give me the best blowout. See for yourself! When you go, ask for Jazzi and if you really love yourself, ask her to give you her signature scalp massage!

I was visiting Philly on a business trip from California. Washing and drying my long hair in a hotel bathroom is a pain in the butt so I booked a same day appointment. This is by far one of the best blow outs I’ve ever gotten.
Customer service: Friendly, efficient, great coffee
Stylist: Katelyn, welcoming, friendly, executed exactly what I asked for, talented!
Hair: Smelled amazing, exactly the kind of body I wanted on top, could run my hands through it but it also stayed for two days
I wish Katelyn was in California, I would definitely become a regular!

STAY AWAY! Extremely unprofessional and amateur. I was scheduled to have a girl named Stephanie for a fishtail. They have pictures of fishtails on their site so I thought this wouldn’t be a problem. Well she admitted she didn’t know how to get it started so she had a co-​worker «start» my hair. I was then used as a prop while the other girl was teaching my hairdresser. They had to re-​do it 3 times. She was basically learning on me. I was tense the entire time when it was my day off and was supposed to be a relaxing experience before a wedding. Once they finally got it down I ended up have a rat tail. I asked her to fix it and she did a little, but this is how it ended. $ 40 down the drain.
I went next door to Sephora to get my lashes put on and they wouldn’t let me leave with out fixing my hair for free. Mind you they are a makeup bar not hair salon and did a WAY better job. I can’t stop telling everyone I know about this terrible, terrible experience.
