Blo and Go

Their blowouts don’t hold and look kind of messy soon after you leave.

Terrible experience start to finish. First impression, the place is dirty with hair left on seats and un-​swept, dust everywhere. I ignored it because I thought maybe I was just prissy and continued my appointment. My stylist was inexperienced and had no idea what she was doing. She was not capable of doing a blow out. The place is called BLO and GO?! she just ended up drying my hair regularly with a flat brush and curling it was a curling iron… that is not a blow out. I have a feeling she didn’t go to beauty school, or just has absolutely no idea what is going on. I get blow outs about 3 times a month, I’ve been everywhere (Dry Bar, Blowtique, Blowout Junkie, any Aveda salon for a blowout) and know what to expect. If you want a blow out near here, go to Blowtique on Michigan Ave 5 min away– WAY better. This place seriously sucks.

I really wanted to like this spot, the blowouts overall have been good however the service has been sub par. i was really excited about the early hours so I could pop in before work and get a blowout. The first time I made an early appointment, I arrived and the salon was locked up, the girl that did my blow out arrived 10 minutes late and said her bus was late. Ok, I dealt with it, things happen. I made an early appointment about a month later and this time it was worse. I arrived on time and waited for almost 40 minutes until someone arrived to let me in. My stylist showed up almost an hour late and while the guy who let me in did my hair and made his appointment late so we were both late, it was a really bad experience and I was late for work. they only charged me half which was the least they could do. Good blowout but beware if you make really early appointments!

The stylist dropped the brush on the floor and then tried to use it again… Seriously.
Overall blowout was fair… I showed her a few different pictures of what I wanted and for some reason it still didn’t help. Do not suggest.

I suffered through a mani-​pedi there at my girlfriend’s recommendation while I was in town for a wedding. She later told me she had only been there once and had a different manicurist. First thing I noticed was everyone looked miserable except the nice receptionist. My feet and fingers were in pain by the time I left from being handled so tightly. The manicurist I got stuck with was stern, unsmiling the entire time & very unprofessional. She barked orders at the receptionist. I asked the receptionist the offensive manicurist’s name so I could write this review. She looked at me sympathetically and nodded her head like she totally understood why I asked. Avoid Galeana.

I had a great haircut by Angela. The salon is nice and clean inside with good music playing. Angela spent a lot of time on my hair making sure all the lengths were even and listened to what I wanted. I walked out feeling very satisfied. Price is typical for Chicago ($ 60) and included blow out.
FYI– Cash tip only

We were here for a Bachelorette party. There were 6 of us we all booked the Bombshell package — which according to website us mani/​pedi, Blowout and full makeup.
Overall, a great experience we all had a nice time. However, there are a few things that I wish had been cleared up or could have been better.
I loved that this salon was a BYOB and food place! Our party loved that. I do think it needs to be clarified that the «party space» is not private. There is a table set up for food/​beverages, but no chairs to sit on and you are open to the whole salon.
1 out of 6 of our girls actually got a wash and blow-​dry. I was really disappointed with the blow out service. The other 5 of us just had our hair styled with flat irons. A Blow out is fun because it’s not something that I do at home regularly but I do use a curing or flat iron. It was so disappointing. My stylist made me look like a Texas pageant queen and hair sprayed the crap out of my hair. (Not the look i was going for at all) nor what i wanted, which I said «a little curl with some volume». I couldn’t wait to get home and wash my hair. It was a waste of money! It was awful. I’ve never ever had a blow-​out where my hair is stiff with spray. It seemed like the salon didn’t have enough people or time to do washes for all of us?
The mani/​pedis were half assed. We didn’t get a soaking tub for the pedicure, no foot scrub, no lotion, no massage. Same for the manicure. The manicurest was wonderful and dud a great job… but the mani/​pedi we received was pretty piss poor.
Makeup was beautiful on all of us!
Paperwork/​contract to the salon stated that they would call 24 hours prior to event to confirm, they did not. I had sent in via email, the contract to Nicole and never heard anything from the salon after 2 emails, so I called to make sure we were booked.
Salon is cash only tip. We were quoted $ 132 per person with gratuity added on… once we got to the salon we we told our total was $ 115 plus the 20% gratuity, which we had to pay in cash. None of us were prepared for a cash tip… would’ve been nice to know ahead of time.
Overall, it was a fun day of getting «pretty». A few areas of disappointment, but not enough to stop me from recommending this to other Bachelorette or party. I would say, there are some areas of improvement. You should specify right off the bat what is SPECIFICALLY included in your packages. It seems like we got the «cheap and fast» version of the services I thought we were booking… but we all had a good time and walked out feeling glamorous for our night out.

Im from out of town came in for a blowdry and a mani-​pedi. Loved my mani-​pedi Lana was amazing!!! My blowdry was a completely different story… i have very curly hair but she didnt blow dry my roots and when she ironed them it only made it worse. I left feeling worse about my hair than when i came in. It was left puffy and nothing like i expected. I honestly do a better job at home then when i left blo and go. If you have curly hair dont go. If you want the best mani-​pedi youll probably ever experience go!!!

A quick satisfaction with no long term benefits. A true mid price haircut.
WALK-​IN — available.
SHAMPOO — nice massage.
HAIRCUT — nothing original but comforting. Lacks completeness as plenty of time and effort at the front and side of hair, and little or minimal efforts on the back.
VENUE — superbly organized and clean. Very white.

SKIP!!! Went in for a blow dry and first asked to pay in advance. I said that I’d prefer to have the service first. Come to find out the receptionist was getting her nails done and wanted me to pay in advance. Oooohk. I asked for a round brush blow out. Instead, I left with tight curls from a small round brush and a TON of hairspray. She left the dryer on the rolled hair far too long meaning today I have a lot more dead-​ends than I did yesterday.
I have been to blow dry bars around the U.S. and this one was hands down the worst.

Came here with a Groupon, got an awesome blow out! Definitely worth the trip at regular price!

My whole experience was amazing! Lana does amazing nails and such perfection! I for sure will be returning. Oh and their shampoo and conditioner smells amazing!!!

This was by far the best salon experience that I had in a long time! The place its beautiful, clean, with a good vibe! Everything new!
But the best thing about Blo and Go it’s the service!
I had a mani and pedi made by Galina. It’s PERFECT! She is great!
I will definitely go back! And highly recommend!

Just got another great blowout at blo and go plus a haircut! Fast, easy, relaxing. Must try!

Went here for a blow-​out before my bachelorette party. Everybody said it looked fantastic and my friend liked it so much we went back the next week for her bachelorette party. Rick blew out my hair both times and was awesome! The curls stayed for days (and my hair never holds a curl). He is seriously a magician when it comes to hair.

Cynthia did my nails today and she was fantastic. Very talented, kind, and thorough. She has done my nails before and her manicures always outlast any other manicures I have gotten.

Was lucky to walk in as they just opened 2 weeks ago. Awesome space, cool décor, incredibly kind employees. They offer tons of services– I got a blow out from Alicia and it was awesome. This will be a new spot for me on the weekends for sure!
