About

The BlowUp Bar was founded by Charlye Egbo, a Texas native, with the aim of creating an all-inclusive blow dry salon and makeup bar where clients feel celebrated regardless of hair texture or skin tone. The business describes its mission as delivering a blowout and beauty experience for everyone, with an emphasis on diversity and inclusion.

The salon lists five stated values: inclusivity, excellence, empowerment, integrity and sustainability. It says it works with high-quality products it considers safe for clients and the environment, and it describes its space as warm and welcoming to people of all backgrounds.

Services are grouped into hair care, hair styling, hair services, hair extensions, makeup, add-ons, memberships and packages. Clients with extensions can book Classic Blowout or Classic Silk Press sessions with extensions, which must be installed before the appointment.

For scalp care, the Deluxe Scalp Treatment starts with a microscope scalp analysis and includes three take-home Biolage Scalp Sync products; it does not include a blowout or silk press. A shorter Scalp Treatment and a Protective Prep, which combines a wash, blow-dry and deep conditioning, are also available.

Makeup services include eye makeup, a soft neutral Soft Glam, and a Full Face look that covers complexion, eyes, brows and lips in a soft, natural or bold finish. Strip lash application is offered as a short add-on. The Time Saving Celebrity Experience pairs hair and makeup done at the same time, with a full face and signature style.

The site lists hours of 8:00 to 9:00 PM on working days, Saturdays and Sundays. It publishes a cancellation and no-show policy, an accessibility policy covering physical access, website access and service animals, and says its team is trained to assist clients with disabilities. Gift certificates can be sent by email or printed at home, with a choice of designs and a send date.

The salon's philosophy centers on inclusivity and on using products it considers safe for clients and the environment.

The space is described as warm and welcoming to people of all backgrounds.
