Rockwall, TX – Velma McMillan is the owner of three Blo Blow Dry Bar franchise locations – Rockwall, TX, McAllen, TX, and Bristol, VA. Along with her husband, she sells personal auto insurance through their company, Quantum Alliance. For the two upcoming shows, she will focus on Blo Blow Dry Bar.

“Blo Blow Dry Bar is a hair salon where you go in and you get your hair washed and styled – no cut and color,” explains Velma. “We also can do make up.”

“It’s a one stop shop,” adds Velma. “If you are going to a big event or have an evening out on the town, and you want your hair and makeup done, it takes forty-five minutes to do your hair and forty-five minutes to do your makeup. You then just put on your clothes and go. It’s quick in-and-out service.” Also, services can be performed remotely by members. She prefers NOT to call her staff employees, but instead members.

She also involves her family in this business. One of her sons is the Chief Style Boss at their Rockwall, TX location, while her other son handles social media. “My purpose is to make a legacy for my kids and grandkids,” notes Velma.

Velma also likes to give back to the community as Blo Blow Dry Bar is a proud member of each Chamber of Commerce where her franchises are located. Having already been featured in Vogue and Vanity Fair, she came from nothing and built these businesses from the ground up, she is the first franchisee to open three locations within a twelve-month period.

Ultimately, she plans to establish at least twenty franchises.
