The salon is slated to open before the end of the year in the newly remodeled Buckhead Exchange Shopping Center, at 3167 Peachtree Road NE, joining Yeah! Burger, Kale Me Crazy, Kohler Signature Store, Sculpt House, and Storico Fresco, according to the development’s latest site plan.

This will be Cherry Blow Dry Bar’s first location in Atlanta, a franchise under the partnership of Christian Pillat, a local entrepreneur who was recently named to Atlanta’s “Power 30 Under 30,” and Dean and Joel Kasperzak.

“Cherry Blow Dry Bar’s tremendous growth potential, experienced leadership team, and recurring revenue model is what drew us to the brand,” Pillat said in the release. “We are excited to bring this blow dry bar concept to Atlanta. The women here absolutely love to get pampered and will definitely appreciate the flexible memberships that we offer.”

Cherry Blow Dry Bar offers blowouts for hair of any length starting at $35. Customers can pick and choose from the salon’s styling menu which includes nine different hairstyles – from updos and beachy waves to braids and voluminous curls. Salons offer three types of memberships, starting at about $59 for two monthly blowouts.

Additional services such as full make up application, scalp massages, hair extensions, braids and clip in applications are also offered. Express smoothing treatments are also offered.

The franchisee agreement represents the latest step in Cherry Blow Dry Bar’s franchise store growth and supplements a handful of other agreements previously signed in California, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

“This is the latest example of our continued expansion efforts in the Southeast and a true testament to the brand’s appeal,” Fred Vicario, president of Cherry Blow Dry Bar, said in the release. “Since we began franchising last year, we have made great strides in expanding to new markets across the country and this is another incredible milestone for the company.”

Cherry Blow Dry Bar, founded in 2013, plans to open as many as 10 Atlanta-area locations over the next few years.
