BLOW DRY BAR Salon Openings & Closings in Australia are a matter of much debate.
They are also a matter of interest for U.S. franchise seekers, as the alleged success of the Blow Dry Bar franchise system in Australia is being used to promote a sister concept in America: The Cherry Blow Dry Bar franchise opportunity.
Are Blow Dry Bar Salons Successful in Australia?
A promotional blog for Blow Dry Bar founder Nathan Cuneen states “despite the massive growth, the chain has had perfect success with franchisees up to this point.”
Yet Blow Dry Bar franchisees and online critics have stated that closures and “churning” of owners is commonplace.
On an Australian-based business blog, Guest wrote:
If Blow Dry Bar is so successful for franchisees why have so many closed down already?
Bondi Beach?
Liverpool?
Gold Coast Myer?
Macqaurie Myer?
Warringah Mall?
Parramatta Myer?
Penrith Myer?
Wollongong?
Broadbeach?
