Elle Magazine Names Blo Among Top 100 U.S. Salons

The world’s largest fashion magazine has selected Blo out of thousands nationwide as one of the United States’ “Top 100 Salons.” The directory appears in the August issue of ELLE Magazine., the go-to guide for women’s fashion, beauty and entertainment.

In recent years, Blo has been recognized by the hair and style industry with multiple awards, including a Global Salon Business Award in 2008. This is the first time Blo has been honored by a national consumer publication.

“We are amazed and honored to be recognized by a trusted media source at the height of fashion and style. Elle is the magazine that women look to for advice,” said Blo owner Bryan Nunes.

Blo was one of only two North Carolina salons selected by ELLE’s independent regional researchers. The directory of top salons accompanies an article called, “America’s top salons divulge their most requested Hollywood ‘dos.”

Nunes said the news came completely unexpected, because he was not aware of the award and did not submit an application.

“Many consumer magazines solicit us to pay to be on their ‘Best of’ lists,” he said. “Which is why our design team is so excited to be recognized by ELLE, because of its global reach and respect.”
