I think they are an interesting concept. They can be a good USP if you had one within your salon - as you are opening up your menu options and can come in at a different marketing angle to other salons?
Alternatively if it was just a blow dry bar unit and that was all you provided - your outgoings and set up cost should be less of that than a traditional salon as you would not need to purchase colours etc and could potentially work on a smaller floor plan?
Location is also an important factor when it comes to performance of solo blow dry bars - as the town/city environment has a major impact on the behaviour and spending habits of people there. They may have more disposable income and be looking for quick blow dries before work/a meeting or night out. This may mean you need to extend your opening hours to accommodate the demand?
Are you considering opening one?
Very true but i wanted to do something different.Why have a blowdry bar when people who are trained to do blowdries can also cut hair? Seems like a big restriction to make money.
