April 15, 2024 // Franchising.com // CLIFTON PARK, NY - Blo Blow Dry Bar has announced a signed agreement for three locations in New York. As the brand looks to continue to make significant development strides, Blo Blow Dry Bar partnered with former multi-unit Subway owner, Carrie Faden, to expand across the east coast.

Construction for the first location at 22 Clifton Country Rd. in Clifton Park is currently underway, with the remaining two bars slated for the Albany area.

With a strong franchising foundation as a Subway multi-unit franchisee, overseeing the launch of many locations during her tenure with the company, Carrie Faden is a seasoned veteran in the realm of business.

A longstanding resident of Saratoga, New York, Faden has recognized the demand for Blo Blow Dry Bar's services in the local market. As a mother, she eagerly anticipates sharing her passion for the growing beauty industry with her daughters.

Faden’s career started in the beauty industry before she decided to become a full-time mom. After a few years and eagerly looking for her next endeavor, Faden started to look into various franchise opportunities before deciding on Subway. After finding great success within the QSR space, her journey now returns to where it all started, within the beauty industry.

As she ventures into this new territory, Faden will benefit from her strong background and schooling in beauty and cosmetics. This combined with her longtime passion and desire to open a beauty-related business, and a commitment to women’s empowerment, will serve as essentials tools to achieve success.

"I'm thrilled to embark on this exciting new journey with Blo Blow Dry Bar," expressed Faden. "Transitioning from Subway to the beauty sector presents an exhilarating challenge, as I have always found that my true passion lies within the beauty industry, helping others to look and feel their very best. I'm genuinely excited to introduce this fantastic concept to the New York City metropolitan area."

"We're delighted to have Carrie Faden join the Blo Blow Dry Bar family,” added Vanessa Yakobson, CEO of Blo Blow Dry Bar. “Her wealth of experience as a multi-unit franchisee, coupled with her strong grasp of the franchise business model, positions her as an excellent candidate for Blo. We believe her expertise and dedication to community empowerment will make significant contributions to the brand."
