A beauty hub for stylish Londoners in search of their next best hair flip. From our Lycon Brazilian wax to camera-ready curls, BLO BAR combines expert finish with a movie première ambiance. Whether you’re after a look that BLO-ws everyone away, an Insta-worthy polish, or a balayage that has you squealing ‘oh my’ at your own reflection, this is where the show begins.

    Founded in 2013, BLO BAR started with a bang. Our trademark blow dry became renowned amongst London’s most stylish residents, while the harmonious balance of GLOW, BLOW, and SHOW keeps our loyal tribe of fashionistas, beauty-babes and mammas coming back for more.

    While our signature blow dry gets the most attention, BLO BAR is about all-round glam. From blows, colours & cuts, nails, waxing and tans to eyebrow threading, we want our clients to POP from head to toe. No half measures. Just pure, ‘pinch me I’m dreaming’ glam.
