I love this place and they do a great job! Only complaint is an 8am appointment is usually 8:15. Would love if the stylist was ready at 8am. Would give 5 stars if so.

It was so nice to not have to wash and blo-out my hair. Shay was super cute and cheerful. She washed my hair thoroughly, dried it and put some tighter curls in it so it would last all week! They were timely and the girls at the front desk when I checked out had great personalities for dealing with the public. I’ll be back! Thanks again!

I chose this salon randomly because it was close to my hotel and it was easy to book an apt. I’m so glad I stumbled upon them! Shay did a fantastic job - my hair lasted throughout the entire wedding day. The curls fell nicely as time went on and framed my face well.

I had a wonderful experience at Blo Bar in Bressi Ranch with Steven. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered results beyond my expectations. My hair normally doesn’t hold a curl, but my curls lasted beautifully for days. I can’t recommend Steven enough, he’s truly talented!

Sent a client here to before a work event: manager Denise was accommodating and kind. Comments below are verbatim from client: “I had been set up for initially at 8 AM service, but we realized with traffic I’d be closer to 830; and they were accommodating in shifting things slightly. Never been to this particular mall before, and it’s super confusing. It’s almost designed like a theme park ride with crazy twist and turns. Parking was easy once we found it, and the only rather odd thing was my Stylist walked in about three minutes after I was there, basically late. I had Rachel, she was very experienced, and nice and accommodating. This salon only uses UNITE shampoo and conditioners, which are too heavy for my fine hair, and it was a bit odd. They didn’t have anything else for those of us to prefer not to have a lot of extra “junk“ in our shampoos. Because basically everything in the UNITE line is all about “doing something“ to your hair. So we had to use my shampoo. For some weird reason, this has become a norm in a lot of blowout salons and it’s annoying: They don’t tend to use hot water in their hair-washing sinks. Perhaps it’s to keep the bills down, perhaps it’s because the plumbing just is terrible, but I had to request that my stylist actually use hot water to get the shampoo and conditioner out of my hair – which by the way is the only way to thoroughly get it out of hair. Rachel listened attentively to my specific requests for my hair, and she did a really nice job. The one downside was it took over an hour and a half, and she didn’t seem to be going at any sort of a pace that would help pick it up, so I was late to the event. The shampoo itself took about 25 minutes - again, she was going at a leisurely pace… The front desk person was nice, and allowed me to pay while I was still getting my hair finished so at least I could cut down the stay a bit. Blowouts here are pricier then a lot of places in Los Angeles, the range in LA is anywhere between $45 and $65 generally speaking. Here it is $70. Which means once I tip out the stylist, I’m paying over $80 for a simple blowout. Water was offered to me, which is a nice touch, and while it’s definitely a step above Dry Bar, I wouldn’t go so far as to say it felt like a legitimate salon. It has that kind of temporary, cheap feel in everything, and the chairs are weirdly close together! We were pretty much right on top of the person next to me getting their hair blown out, which just wasn’t comfortable. I could hear every bit of their conversation and they could hear every bit of ours, and when their Stylist was spraying the hairspray, unfortunately it landed on me. Wasn’t a great thing. But again, Rachel did a good job, and while I’m not sure I would return, it was definitely an overall positive experience.”
