Blowout Co. brings new salon concept to Chattanooga

Blowout Co. offers styles and up-dos named after various parts of town in the Scenic City.

Chattanooga’s newest salon, Blowout Co., doesn’t have any scissors, because stylists there don’t do any actual cutting.

The concept, a salon offering professional shampoo and styling services – and that’s it – is more of a coastal, New York City and Los Angeles establishment.

Or was, until Leslie Embry, a Nashville resident, brought it to Tennessee.

Back in September 2011, Embry was on a trip in California. She stumbled on a blow-dry bar and went inside, where she discovered the blow-dry concept for the first time. She loved it.
