Whether you want sleek and controlled or bouncy and textured, the service is tailored to suit your hair type and preference, with results that typically last from one day to several days depending on how you care for it between visits. ## What the Service Involves Your stylist will: - **Wash and condition** your hair using products suited to your texture and the finish you want — volumising formulas for lift, smoothing ones for sleekness - **Towel-dry gently** to damp (not dripping) to protect your hair and speed up the process - **Apply heat protectant** before drying, plus styling products like mousse, thickening spray, or smoothing cream depending on your goal - **Section your hair** into manageable layers and work through small subsections (around 1–2 inches) for control and an even result - **Blow-dry with a concentrator nozzle and round brush**, creating tension to smooth the cuticle, lift the roots for volume, and add soft bends or flicks to the ends - **Refine the shape** once dry, checking all sections are smooth and adjusting around your face and crown - **Finish with light hairspray, shine serum, or texturising spray** to hold the style, add gloss, or create a piecey, undone texture if that's your preference The appointment typically takes **30–45 minutes**, though thicker or curlier hair may need a little longer. Short hair reveals the shape of your cut clearly, so a good haircut combined with a professional blowdry delivers the best, longest-lasting results. ## Who It's For This service suits clients with shorter cuts who want a polished, salon-quality finish without styling at home. It's ideal if you: - Have a special event, meeting, or occasion coming up and want your hair to look its best - Struggle to recreate volume, smoothness, or shape at home with your own tools - Want to extend the life of your haircut between trims with a professional refresh - Prefer to save time in the morning by having your styling done for you - Have frizz-prone, fine, or textured hair that benefits from expert heat and product application Our team — including **Kayleigh, Hannah, Lisa, Harry, Freya, Barry, and Mary** — adapts the blow-dry technique to your hair's texture and the finish you're after, whether that's sleek and controlled or airy and bouncy. Discuss your preference at the start so the stylist can choose the right products and method. ## Maintaining Your Blowdry To keep your finish looking fresh: - **Avoid touching or running your fingers through your hair** excessively, as oils and friction can flatten volume and add frizz - **Protect from humidity and rain** with a light umbrella or hood — damp air will relax the style more quickly - **Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase** to reduce friction, and loosely pin or clip sections if you want to preserve shape overnight - **Avoid tying hair up tightly** immediately after the service, as elastic bands can leave kinks and flatten the roots - **Use dry shampoo** at the roots between washes to absorb oil and refresh volume without water Frequent blowdries should be balanced with regular conditioning and heat protection to maintain hair health. If you're booking blowdries often, ask your stylist about strengthening or hydrating treatments to keep your hair in top condition. ## How It Compares A blowdry delivers a temporary styled finish that will gradually relax as you wash, sleep, and move through your day. If you want: - **Longer-lasting smoothness or curl reduction**, ask about smoothing or keratin treatments (separate services with different pricing and commitment) - **A fresh shape or length adjustment**, pair your blowdry with a precision cut — many clients book both together for a complete refresh - **Permanent texture or curls**, a perm or wave service (distinct from a blowdry) may be more suitable The blowdry works best when your underlying cut is in good shape, so regular trims every 6–8 weeks help maintain the structure that makes blow-drying effective.

Prices range from £17.50 to £35 depending on hair thickness, texture, and the complexity of the style. Your stylist will confirm the cost during consultation. How long does the appointment take? A standard blowdry for short hair takes 30–45 minutes. Thicker, coarser, or highly textured hair may need a little longer to fully dry and style all sections. How long will my blowdry last? Results typically last from one day to several days, depending on your hair type, the weather, and how carefully you maintain it. Using a silk pillowcase and avoiding humidity helps extend the finish. Do I need to wash my hair before I come in? No — the service includes a wash and condition tailored to your hair type and desired result, so arrive with your hair as it is. Can I choose how my hair is styled? Yes. Let your stylist know whether you want sleek and smooth, bouncy and voluminous, or textured and piecey, and they'll adapt the technique and products to match your preference. Will a blowdry damage my hair? Heat protectant is applied before drying to minimise damage, and stylists use controlled temperature and technique. Frequent blowdries should be balanced with regular conditioning to maintain hair health. Can I have a blowdry if my hair is very thick or curly? Yes. The stylist will section your hair carefully and may need a little extra time, but the service works well on all textures with the right products and blow-drying method. Can I book a blowdry with a haircut? Absolutely. Many clients pair a precision cut with a blowdry for a complete refresh. Ask when booking if you'd like both services in one appointment.
