Blowout Bar Benefits<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blowout bars, also referred to as dry bars, are popping up all over the country. Dry bars can be stand-alone businesses, or they can be added into an existing salon.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry bars provide hair washing, styling, and drying. A specialist will wash and dry a client\u2019s hair. Then they will style it based on the client\u2019s selection from a preset menu. Most blowout bars do not offer cuts, <\/span>coloring services<\/span><\/a>, or chemical treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many blowout bars are cranking their services up a notch by enhancing the blowout experience.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They create a comfortable atmosphere with cozy furniture and large televisions playing the best chick flicks on repeat. Some blowout bars emphasize the <\/span>bar<\/span><\/i> part by offering clients cocktails while they receive their style treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, blowout dry bars reached <\/span>$2 billion in service sales<\/span><\/a>. Market researchers are projecting a continued 25% year-over-year growth for blowout bars for the foreseeable future.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blowout services create a unique opportunity for salons and stylists, making them a profitable investment. They offer clients a specialized service that can give their business a competitive advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Provide Fast Hair Services<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clients prefer blowout services because they are fast and easy. Many women visit dry bars to get glammed up without spending hours in a salon chair. Blowout services are so fast that many women pop in during their lunch breaks.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blowout services are also ideal for women who want to maintain a straight hairdo without indulging in straightening services. Blowouts give women the straight-haired look they desire without causing as much damage as permanent straightening treatments. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Attract Large Groups<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Blowout bars attract large groups of women, so much that many salons offer special group packages.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hitting the dry bar before a night on the town is a fun and festive way to kick off an epic girls\u2019 night. Groups of women may schedule time at a blowout bar before a wedding, bachelorette party, or any other big event to ensure everyone achieves picture-perfect hairstyles.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for the salon, large groups at the blowout bar equals great revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing blowout services at your salon ensures your business gets plenty of business, especially around wedding season, prom, and the holidays. The services set your business apart from other salons in the area and can be the reason why a large group chooses you over a competitor.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Receive More Repeat Customers<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The average woman visits a salon <\/span>3.81 times a year<\/span><\/a>, which equals once every 13.5 weeks. Adding a blowout bar to your business not only increases new business but also allows you to see your regular customers more than three times a year. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While a haircut should last a few months, blowouts do not. The styling effects disappear once the customer showers or gets their hair wet.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your stylists do a good job, your customers are going to come back frequently. Whether they want to feel more confident during a presentation or they are heading out for date night, blowout bars keep customers coming back more frequently than cutting and chemical treatment services.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Partnering With a Blowout Bar Franchise<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blowout bars are a franchise. The franchisor has a business model offering successful services (dry bars) and allows franchisees (salon owners) to operate under the franchisor\u2019s name and guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming a blowout bar franchisee means having a higher chance of success than starting a sole proprietorship.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also means you have the franchisor to lean on for training, ongoing support, and assistance. You also get access to the franchise\u2019s name, which may already have a strong following, making it easier for you to gain new business.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
