8,162 hair businesses, across 1610 cities
In the app, search by city and by what you want done — braids, twists, locs, natural, straightened, color, updos, wigs. Where a stylist has claimed their listing you can request a booking and hold the slot with a deposit. Everywhere else you get their real phone number and website.
Salons that have not joined BLK GLO yet are marked unclaimed until the owner claims the listing. An unclaimed business has no relationship with BLK GLO.
Booking, in four steps
- 1Pick a service and a time that works for you.
- 2Put down a 30% deposit. Your spot is held while you pay.
- 3Your stylist confirms the appointment.
- 4Plans change? You see the cancellation policy before you pay, and the app tells you when your refund goes through.
