Your appointment includes consultation, shampoo and scalp massage, precision cutting with scissors and clippers, and a finished blow-dry with styling products to show you exactly how to wear your new cut. ## What's Included Your 45-minute service begins with a **brief consultation** to discuss length, shape, parting, and styling preferences, taking into account your hair texture, face shape, and lifestyle. The team then cleanses your hair with a **shampoo and scalp massage** to improve manageability and prepare for precise cutting. The cut itself uses a **combination of clippers and scissors**—typically clipper work on the sides and back, with scissor work on top for shape and blending. Hair is sectioned carefully, guidelines are created, and shorter sections are blended seamlessly into longer areas to avoid visible steps or ledges. The service finishes with a **professional blow-dry**: towel-drying, then using a hairdryer and brush to direct the hair into the desired shape, adding volume or smoothness as needed. **Styling products** such as heat protectant, smoothing or volumising spray, and finishing paste, clay, or pomade are applied to complete the look. ## Who It Suits This service is ideal for clients who want more than a quick clipper cut—those looking for a **polished, tailored finish** with guidance on how to style at home. It suits all hair types and lengths, from short crops to longer textured styles, and is particularly useful if you have **cowlicks, growth patterns, or problem areas** like a double crown or receding hairline that benefit from expert cutting and blow-drying technique. Clients with **thicker, longer, or very dense hair** should expect slightly more time spent on blow-drying and product application to achieve smooth, controlled results. If you maintain a very sharp fade or outline, consider scheduling regular **clean-ups between full appointments** to keep edges neat—our team can advise on timing during your visit. ## Styling and Aftercare During the blow-dry, your stylist will show you the **techniques and products** used to achieve your finished style, so you can recreate it at home. Typical recommendations include which brush to use, how to direct the dryer, and which styling product offers the right hold, texture, or volume for your hair type. To maintain your cut, most clients return every **4–6 weeks**. The team will suggest a schedule that keeps your shape sharp and manageable between visits. If you use strong hold products or heavy waxes at home, arriving with clean hair—or letting the salon shampoo thoroughly first—ensures the best cutting result.

The service takes 45 minutes and includes consultation, shampoo, precision cutting, and a professional blow-dry with styling products. What's the difference between a Men's Cut & Blow Dry and a quick clipper cut? This service includes shampoo, scalp massage, tailored consultation, precision cutting with both clippers and scissors, and a full blow-dry with styling guidance—it's a complete grooming experience rather than a fast trim. Do I need to wash my hair before my appointment? No need—the service includes a shampoo and scalp massage. Arriving with clean hair is fine, but heavily coated hair from strong styling products is best shampooed in the salon for a more precise cut. Can the team work with cowlicks or tricky growth patterns? Yes. During consultation, mention any cowlicks, double crowns, or problem areas so your stylist can cut and blow-dry to work with your natural growth, not against it. What styling products are used, and can I buy them? The team uses heat protectant, smoothing or volumising sprays, and finishing products like paste, clay, or pomade. Ask your stylist which products suit your hair type and how to use them at home. How often should I book a Men's Cut & Blow Dry? Most clients return every 4–6 weeks to maintain shape and manageability. If you have a sharp fade or precise outline, you may want a quick clean-up between full cuts. Is this service suitable for longer men's hair? Absolutely. The service suits all lengths, from short crops to longer textured styles. Longer or thicker hair may require slightly more time for blow-drying and product application. Can I get advice on styling my hair at home? Yes. Your stylist will show you the techniques, tools, and products used during the blow-dry so you can recreate the style yourself between visits.
