Cherry Blow Dry Bar, an express service hair salon that offers memberships, is looking to set up shop in Metairie. It will be the New Jersey-based franchise's first salon in Louisiana.

The salon is scheduled to open in May and will be located at 210 Veterans Memorial Blvd. The owners, cosmetologist Shalanta Jackson and her husband, Oliver Jackson of New Orleans, said the salon will be one of three they hope to open over the next few years. 

"We are thrilled to bring Cherry Blow Dry Bar to Metairie," Shalanta Jackson said in a news release. "We look forward to introducing our specialty services along with our affordable and convenient membership model to local consumers."

The salon offers services including blowouts, hair extensions, makeup services and treatments. Customers can choose from a menu of nine hairstyles and offers three types of memberships at various cost levels, starting at around $60 for two monthly blowouts.

The Cherry Blow Dry Bar brand was founded in 2013 and has salons operating in eight other states.
