Blo Nation Announces Opening of its 1st California Location in the South Coast Metro Area of Orange County, California. South Coast Plaza the #1 Dollar Volume Mall Per Square Foot in North America.

SANTA ANA, CA, September 03, 2010 (Press-News.org) Blo Nation the first national company to leap into the burgeoning Blo Dry Bar/Lounge concept has made it's first plunge in the California market. Being heralded as the "manicure" for the next decade the analogy is coming from the explosion that hit the beauty industry in the preceding decade with nail salons popping up in every strip center across the nation's landscape.

Barbers, cosmetologists, and other personal appearance workers held about 800,000 jobs in 2009. Of these, barbers and cosmetologists held 688,000 jobs, manicurists and pedicurists 76,000, skin care specialists 38,800, and shampooers 22,900.

Employment of hairdressers, hairstylists, and cosmetologists will increase by about 22 percent, much faster than average, while the number of barbers will increase by 12 percent, about as fast as average. This growth will primarily come from an increasing population, which will lead to greater demand for basic hair services. The new trend of Blow Dry Bars/Lounges will significantly add to this increase in cosmetologists. This trend is expected to continue, leading to a favorable outlook for hairdressers, hairstylists, and cosmetologists.

"We are excited that the first owner/operator of one of our Blo Out Lounges in California is Shereen Torney." Blo Nation representative went further to add, "Shereen has over 10 years experience in the field of beauty, make-up and fashion and has carved out a niche for herself in the very competitive field of Direct Sales. As a leader for many years with the Mary Kay company and now a top producer with Beauty Society, Shereen has proven that she has the ability to create her own success. In a discipline where 98% rise to mediocrity Shereen Torney has set standards for herself that have placed her in the top 2% in the Nation."

The Blo Out Lounge located at 3930 Bristol Street adjacent to South Coast Plaza will be a new fashion destination in Orange County. South Coast Plaza is an international destination and upscale shopping center in Costa Mesa, California, in Orange County. It is the biggest planned retail center in the United States, and sales of over 1.5 Billion are highest in the United States.
