EXCLUSIVE

A popular hair and make-up business with salons around Sydney and a bevy of celebrity clients including Jackie O and Pip Edwards has fallen into liquidation.

BBC Operations Pty Ltd – which trades as Blow Bar Co Operations and operates salons in the Sydney CBD, Bronte and Balmain – appointed liquidators on Monday, according to documents filed with corporate regulator ASIC.

The news – which the company claims is the result of an internal restructuring – will come as a shock to many who have frequented the company’s posh salons.

Blow Bar Co recently handled hairstyling and make-up for Jackie ‘O’ Henderson and her best friend Gemma O’Neill when they launched their events company, Besties.

The salons also offer cheese platters and massages to their customers. The company’s website states that they “provide a place for women to socialize, celebrate and empower each other.”

David Michael Stimpson from the insolvency company SV Partners was appointed as insolvency administrator.

A spokeswoman for Blow Bar Co told Daily Mail Australia that liquidation – where a company’s business and assets are sorted out for creditors – was an internal restructuring.

“It’s business as usual and there have been no financial impacts for customers, employees or suppliers.”

“This internal restructuring will ensure business continuity and growth.”
