More information

What a Ladies Blowdry appointment delivers

A blowdry is more than drying hair. It is a structured finish that builds direction, movement and shine so your hair sits well for days.

  • A quick consultation on the look you want: sleek and smooth, lifted roots, soft bends, or a fuller bouncy finish.
  • Preparation that supports the result, with cleansing and conditioning chosen to avoid flat roots or fluffy ends.
  • Sectioned blow-drying to control the hair shaft and cuticle for a smoother surface and better light reflection.
  • Brush and airflow techniques to create shape at the crown, movement through the mid-lengths, and a clean finish at the ends.
  • Finishing products selected for hold, humidity resistance and touchable shine, without heavy build-up.
  • Optional refined detailing, such as face-framing direction or soft waves, depending on your desired look.

Blowdry finishes for modern, wearable polish

If you like hair that looks natural but clearly styled, a Ladies Blowdry can be set to suit your day, your outfit and your hair type. Choose a straighter, sleeker finish for a sharper silhouette, or add controlled volume and soft movement for a more relaxed look.

How the blowdry is shaped for your hair texture and growth patterns

Cowlicks, a widening parting, or hair that sits forward can change how a blowdry lasts. The finish is built by working with your natural growth direction and adjusting tension and heat, so roots lift where you want them to and ends sit neatly rather than flicking unpredictably.

Timing, upkeep and making the finish last

Appointments start from 30 minutes, with longer allowed for thick or longer hair. To extend the result, avoid tying hair tightly while it is still warm, keep moisture away from the roots for the first few hours, and use a light dry shampoo or root lift on day two or three for shape without stiffness.

    Excellent service! I had a haircut and blow-dry with Kris and she has been fantastic. I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you very much Kris! Also, Carlos did an amazing job for my hair colour recently. Very professional, patient and a true perfectionist. Thank you Carlos!

    Simon is a brilliant hairdresser and a wonderful person! He is so fantastic at styling my hair and gave me the confidence to change my style after the last 15 years and give me a refreshed look which everyone has been commenting on. He is also fantastic at styling my husband’s hair and always takes the time to listen to your thoughts and run through what look/treatment you are going for. The salon is super friendly, everyone is really lovely and they truly go above and beyond to accommodate you, even when it’s last minute! I cannot recommend Simon more highly - make sure you pop in for blow dry and/or cut…you won’t regret it! Thank you Simon, you’re a star! X

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will a Ladies Blowdry last?
Most clients enjoy a smooth finish for 2 to 4 days, depending on hair texture and humidity. If your hair holds shape well, it can last longer with simple upkeep like dry shampoo at the roots.
Can I choose between sleek hair and a bouncy blowdry?
Yes. You can opt for a smooth, straighter finish or a fuller blowdry with lift and movement. Your stylist will recommend what will hold best based on your hair density and condition.
Do I need to come with clean, dry hair?
No, the blowdry is typically done after cleansing and conditioning to control frizz and improve shine. If you have just washed your hair, let the salon know so the appointment can be planned accordingly.
Will a blowdry help with frizz and flyaways?
A properly sectioned blowdry smooths the cuticle and can noticeably reduce frizz. The right prep and finishing products also help with humidity control without making hair feel coated.
Can you add soft waves at the end of the blowdry?
Yes, soft bends or loose waves can be added as part of the finish. If you want waves to last, ask for a little more hold through the mid-lengths and ends.
