  • Franchising with Drybar didn’t just give me a business, it gave me a platform to create opportunity.
    I started with one shop and a small team. Today, I have seven Drybar locations and a district manager who began as my very first front-desk hire. Watching her build a career and a beautiful life through this business has been one of my greatest joys. Franchising with Drybar didn’t just give me a business, it gave me a platform to create opportunity, build leaders, and bring happiness and confidence to women in my community every single day

  • That’s the power of a strong franchise model
    When I opened my first Scottsdale location, the brand was still new, and nobody knew what Drybar was. I flew to Brentwood, sat in the shop all day learning about the brand and doing my homework. What I saw inspired me to open that first location, and within about 13–14 months, we were opening our second because demand was overwhelming. That’s the power of a strong franchise model, once you see it work, you gain the confidence to grow, one successful unit at a time.

  • This is a business I could pour my heart into, and franchising was the vehicle to do it.
    I spent nearly 20 years as an executive in the cosmetic industry with Estée Lauder before I became a mom and discovered Drybar. When I heard about this blowout bar concept in LA, something clicked. I understood the power of a great blowout and how it can change the way a woman feels. That’s when I realized, this wasn’t just a service, it was a business I could pour my heart into, and franchising was the vehicle to do it.

  • The Drybar brand has a magnetic, loyal guest base and a business model that’s resilient even when the economy softens.
    My role at Vice President of the Chunara Group has always been about scaling the right brands the right way, by building strong operating systems, aligning with partners on the ground, and creating pathways for people to grow. When we began exploring opportunities outside of food, Drybar quickly rose to the top. The brand has a magnetic, loyal guest base and a business model that’s resilient even when the economy softens. Combined with our operating approach, it gives us a way to grow in a new category while staying true to our values of empowerment, opportunity, and long-term sustainability.

  • The Drybar model offers sustainable, service-based income without all the complexities of food operations.
    I joined my father at The Chunara Group after graduating from school, and since then, I’ve focused on building the operational infrastructure that supports our growth. As we looked to diversify beyond food, Drybar stood out. The customer base is incredibly loyal, the service is part of their lifestyle, and the model offers sustainable, service-based income without all the complexities of food operations. It was a natural next step for our portfolio.
