Drybar Holdings LLC, a leading blow dry-only concept, announced the placement of $40.9 million in credit facilities to fund continued growth and working capital for its salon and products businesses, as well as to retire existing debt.

As administrative agent, lead arranger and bookrunner, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. placed a $15.5 million senior revolving credit facility for the company. KeyBank National Association and California Bank & Trust, a division of ZB, N.A, also participated in the facility. The company also placed a $25.4 million subordinated debt facility with existing investor Castanea Partners.

Drybar currently provides more than 1.3 million services annually across 57 retail locations, and distributes its popular line of hair styling products and tools online as well as through all Sephora and Nordstrom locations in the U.S. and Canada.

John Heffner, the company's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "These credit facilities provide additional resources to execute our growth strategy into many more markets across the country and expand product distribution through existing and new channels. We're very pleased to be working with our new banking partners, and expanding our relationship with Castanea, to support our goals."

Drybar is based on the simple concept of focusing on one thing and being the best at it: Blowouts.
