General Questions:

What is a Blowout Bar?

We’re Columbus’ original blowout salon, open since 2013, and we do one thing really well: wash, dry, and style your hair. We skip the cuts and color and focus entirely on blowouts, styling, event looks, and makeup. With three locations across Columbus, there’s always one close to you. See everything we offer at theblowoutbar.com/services-looks/

Where are you located?

We have three locations: Grandview at 1378 Grandview Ave., Easton at 3910 Townsfair Way, and Dublin at 7196 Muirfield Dr. Find our complete hours, addresses, and directions at theblowoutbar.com/locations/

What are your hours?

All three salons are open 7 days a week! Monday through Friday we’re open 8 AM–7 PM, Saturday hours vary by location, and Sunday we’re open 9 AM–3 PM. Check your nearest location’s exact hours at theblowoutbar.com/locations/

Is there parking at your salons?

Yes — all three locations have easy parking so you can transition smoothly from car to chair! Grandview has free parking across the street plus metered street parking (free on Sundays). Dublin has a free lot right outside our door. Easton is across from the South Parking Garage with metered parking in front. Get full details at theblowoutbar.com/locations/

Do you take walk-ins?

Walk-ins are always welcome! That said, we recommend booking ahead since we can’t guarantee availability on the spot. You can grab a slot in seconds at theblowoutbar.com/book-appointment-book-location/

What sets The Blowout Bar apart from other salons in the Columbus area?

We don’t cut or color — that’s not our thing. We’ve spent over a decade perfecting the blowout and nothing else, which means our team is laser-focused on giving you the best possible results in 45 minutes or less. It’s affordable luxury, done fast and done right. Read our story at theblowoutbar.com/about-us/

Who founded The Blowout Bar?

We’re Kristin and Kailen — sisters, business partners, and genuinely blowout-obsessed. We opened Columbus’ first blowout-only salon in 2013 after falling in love with the experience in NYC and not being able to find it back home. Three locations later, we’re still at it every day. Learn more at theblowoutbar.com/about-us/

I've never been before — what should I expect?

Welcome! Your appointment starts with a shampoo and condition using products chosen for your hair type, followed by a section-by-section round-brush blowout, and then hot tool styling to curl, wave, or smooth your hair. The whole service typically takes 45–60 minutes and leaves you with results that last 3–5 days. Book your service easily at https://theblowoutbar.com/book-appointment-book-location/

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes! Gift cards make a great gift for anyone in your life who could use a pick-me-up. You can buy them in any of our salons or order online anytime at theblowoutbar.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/giftcards/edd778a0-693e-4247-98f3-3485d43a34fb

Do I need a cosmetology license to work here?

It depends on the role! A cosmetology or natural hair stylist license is required for hair stylist positions. However, our Braid + Tinsel Bar Stylist role does not require a license, and we also hire front desk associates and marketing interns. See all open positions at theblowoutbar.com/join-our-team/

How long does a blowout take?

Our Signature Blowout takes about 45 minutes. If your hair is especially long, thick, curly, coily, highly textured, or requires extra time for blow-drying and styling, you’ll want to book a longer option, which run 60 to 90 minutes. We always want to make sure you get the time and attention your hair deserves. Check out the full menu at theblowoutbar.com/services-looks/

How long will my blowout last?

Typically 3–5 days, but results depend on your hair type, how you sleep, and the Columbus weather (humidity is real). We’ll use products designed to help your style hold as long as possible, and we can share tips for maintaining it at home. Book today at https://theblowoutbar.com/book-appointment-book-location/

Do you do blowouts for textured/curly/coily hair?

Absolutely! We offer blowout services for curly, coily, textured, and thicker hair types. Our Signature Blowout for Textured Hair is designed with additional time and specialized styling techniques to help ensure the best experience and results. Book this service at theblowoutbar.com/book-appointment-book-location/

Can you style hair with extensions?

Yes! Whether your extensions are already installed or you’re bringing clip-ins, we can handle it. Just book the Blowout with Extensions service to make sure we have the right amount of time. Note: clip-ins need to arrive clean, detangled, and dry, and we don’t service sew-in extensions. See extension packages at theblowoutbar.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/sales/seriespackage/edd778a0-693e-4247-98f3-3485d43a34fb

What is a dry style?

A dry style skips the shampoo and blowout; we go straight to styling. You’ll need to arrive with clean, completely dry, product-free hair. It starts at $32 and takes about 20 minutes. See dry style options and pricing at theblowoutbar.com/services-looks/

Do you offer discounted services?

Yes! When you book with a trainee, you’re working with a licensed cosmetologist who’s in our training program, guided by a lead educator. Blowouts start at $20 and dry styles at $10. A great way to save while still getting great hair. Book at theblowoutbar.com/book-appointment-book-location/

Do you offer keratin smoothing treatments?

We do! We offer the Cezanne Smoothing Treatment, which is formaldehyde-free and safe for all hair types and color-treated hair. The Classic treatment lasts up to 5 months; the Express lasts up to 10 weeks. The best part is that there’s no downtime — you can wash and style your hair right after. Learn more at theblowoutbar.com/cezanne-keratin-smoothing-treatment/

What's the Healthy Scalp Treatment?

We like to think of it as a facial for your scalp. This service is a 4-step treatment using Milbon, Japan’s top scalp-care brand, to deeply cleanse, soothe, and promote healthy hair growth. It includes a scalp analysis with before-and-after photos, plus a cozy blanket and eye mask at the bowl. You can add a blowout or do the treatment on its own. Find more details at theblowoutbar.com/healthy-scalp-treatment/

Can you do hair for a wedding or special event?

Yes! We offer half-up styles, updos, Hollywood waves, and braids, which are all beautiful for weddings and events. For larger bridal parties, we can accommodate groups of 5 or more with a dedicated booking process. Start planning at theblowoutbar.com/book-appointment-book-location/groups-5-or-more/

Do you do mobile events and parties?

We can’t say no to a good party! Our mobile event team can come to you for birthday parties, school events, corporate events, and more. Options include our Tinsel Party, Braid Party, and Ultimate Party (braids, tinsel, glitter, gems — the whole thing). Get details and submit a request at theblowoutbar.com/braid-dry-style-bar-booking/

Can you accommodate a bachelorette or girls' night group?

Absolutely! We love hanging out with groups of friends. For 5 or more guests, book through our group portal at theblowoutbar.com/book-appointment-book-location/groups-5-or-more/. Smaller groups of 2–4 can book regular appointments online. And yes, we have champagne, mimosas, and wine on our drink menu to make the occasion even better.

What hair products do you use and sell?

We use and carry K18, Kevin Murphy, Keune, and many more of our absolute favorites for maintaining blowout results at home. You can shop in any of our salons or order online at shop.saloninteractive.com/store/TheBlowoutBar/

How do I make my blowout last longer at home?

The biggest tips are to sleep on a silk pillowcase or use a loose “pineapple” style to protect your hair overnight. Avoid humidity when you can (Columbus summers are no joke), and skip heavy products that weigh hair down. Read more about our services at theblowoutbar.com/services-looks/

Are you involved in the Columbus community?

Community matters a lot to us. We have an ongoing partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities Columbus, where our team volunteers to provide hair services to moms staying at their facilities while their children receive care at places like Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Learn more about what we’re up to at theblowoutbar.com/community/

Do you offer services for kids?

Yes! We have pricing for children 5 and under, plus hair tinsel add-ons that kids absolutely love. Our mobile Braid + Tinsel parties are also a huge hit for birthday parties and school events. See kids’ pricing on our menu at theblowoutbar.com/services-looks/ or plan a party at theblowoutbar.com/braid-dry-style-bar-booking/
