Although the first Blo Dry Bar has been open since 2007, it’s taken me until now to experience my first Blo job.

I had an event to attend to at the Hastings Racecourse that required my Sunday best with pearls, mesh Cocoesque hat and a perfectly primped and curled coif. Blo was there to the rescue and my stylist Chris whipped me up into shape in about 30 minutes.

With no scissors (cutting is a no no) and no color (also a no no), for about $30 you get washed and blown with styles like, ‘Executive Sweet’, ‘Bardot Updo’, and ‘Red Carpet’. You’ll look perfect for that special day, important meeting or hot date.

Now you East Coasters can enjoy what we have as Blo opens their first location in Toronto on Yonge Street. As well, as of September 1, 2009 watch for their ‘Mini Blo Bar’ opening at the Four Seasons Hotel.
