Our stylists begin with a consultation to understand your goals, then shampoo, cut using precision techniques, and blow-dry your hair to create the volume, smoothness, or movement you want. Whether you prefer a sleek, low-maintenance look or something with more texture and body, the service is tailored to suit your hair type, face shape, and daily routine. ## What to Expect During Your Appointment Your appointment begins with a **consultation** where your stylist discusses length, shape, and styling preferences. Hair is then **shampooed and conditioned** to create a clean base for cutting, and detangled gently for comfort. Cutting techniques such as **layering, texturising, or one-length cutting** are chosen based on your desired result and hair type. After the cut, your stylist carries out a **full blow-dry** using professional brushes and a hairdryer, working methodically through sectioned hair to control direction, lift, and finish. The result is a shape that flatters your features and a style that looks polished and salon-fresh. ## Timing, Hair Type, and Styling Options - Most appointments take **45–75 minutes**, with finer or shorter hair at the shorter end and thick, long, or highly textured hair requiring more time - The service suits **all hair types**—straight, wavy, curly, thick, or fine—with cutting and blow-dry methods adjusted accordingly - Stylists use **round brushes for volume and movement**, or tension and smoothing techniques for sleek finishes - For volume, the brush is placed under the hair with the dryer on top; for smoothness, airflow is directed along the hair shaft with controlled tension - **Heat protectants and styling products** are applied throughout to protect hair, support the style, and enhance shine ## Aftercare and Maintaining Your Style Your blow-dry will look its best for a few days with appropriate care. Use a **sulfate-appropriate or colour-safe shampoo** and apply **heat protectant** before any home styling. Avoid over-washing and excessive heat to maintain condition and style longevity. Your stylist will recommend **specific products and tools**—brush size, finishing products, at-home techniques—so you can recreate elements of the salon look yourself. Most clients return for a trim every **6–8 weeks** to maintain the shape, though timing varies depending on your style and hair growth. ## Pricing and Booking Pricing for a Ladies Cut & Blowdry at Aaron Russell ranges from **£22 to £69**, reflecting stylist experience and hair length or thickness. Longer, thicker hair may cost more due to extra time and product use. If you're planning to add services such as **colour, smoothing treatments, or finishing work** (curls, waves, or up-styling), allow extra time and discuss this when booking. Our team in Handcross—including senior stylists Kayleigh, Lisa, Harry, Freya, Barry, and Mary, stylist Hannah, and academy stylist Bria—are ready to create a cut and finish that fits your lifestyle.

How much does a Ladies Cut & Blowdry cost? Prices range from £22 to £69, reflecting stylist experience and hair length or thickness. Longer, thicker hair may cost more due to the extra time and product required. What should I bring or prepare for my appointment? Bring reference photos of cuts and finishes you like to help communicate your expectations. Be ready to discuss how much length you're comfortable losing and mention any previous chemical treatments so your stylist can choose appropriate products and heat levels. How often should I have a cut and blow-dry? Most clients return for a trim every 6–8 weeks to maintain the shape, though timing varies depending on your style and hair growth rate.

Using heat protectant, avoiding over-washing, and following your stylist's product recommendations will help maintain the result. Can I add other services on the same day? Yes. You can add services such as colour, smoothing treatments, or finishing work like curls or waves. Allow extra time when booking, as each additional service can add an hour or more to your visit.
