Wish Dry Bar is a West Vancouver hair boutique specializing in blowouts, hair treatments and styling for the day-to-day and special occasions. From the elegantly designed space, to the locally sourced artwork, each client will enjoy first-class service and a little bit of luxury with each visit. Wish Dry Bar uses high quality products with expertly trained stylists to accommodate all hair types, producing consistent treatments that lasts longer than your average blowout.
In January 2021, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Wish Dry Bar’s first location was set to open in West Vancouver on the picturesque Bellevue Ave. The soon-to-open hair boutique contracted kin for support implementing a public relations strategy focused on developing a strong social media presence, influencer and brand engagement, media exposure and digital advertising.
The goal was to create buzz and generate brand awareness around the opening of the North Shore’s first dry bar to drive foot traffic, appointments and app downloads. The successful launch period was from January – April and Wish Dry Bar continued work with kin as an ongoing social media client for the following year.
