Things to know about blow dry
It lasts longer on day-old hair than freshly washed roots. Ask for a rough-dry and round-brush finish if you want volume that survives a night out.
What to expect from a blow dry appointment
A blow-dry is a wash and finish without a cut, useful before an event, a photoshoot, or when the regrowth is still inside the cut's lifespan. The stylist washes at the basin, towel-dries, and finishes with a round brush, paddle brush or rough-dry depending on the look. Most blow-dries take thirty to forty-five minutes and last two to three washes if treated gently. Tools, weather and product all influence how long the finish holds.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a blow-dry last?
A salon blow-dry holds two to three washes if treated gently: cool, silk pillowcase, light styling. Humid weather, heavy product use or rough sleep shortens the hold. A dry shampoo on day two extends a fresh-looking finish.
How long does a blow-dry appointment take?
Thirty to forty-five minutes including the wash. Long or thick hair can stretch to an hour; short hair runs shorter.
Should I wash my hair before a blow-dry?
No. Most salons include the wash as part of the service. Coming in with clean dry hair means you pay for the same finish either way; the wash gives a smoother result.
How much does a blow-dry cost?
A standard blow-dry typically runs twenty to forty-five pounds in UK salons. Long or thick hair sits at the higher end. Premium blow-dry bars in central London or major cities sit at fifty plus. Confirm at booking.
Can I get the same blow-dry finish at home?
Partly. The salon advantage is the right tools (a round brush sized to your length, a hood dryer or a high-heat barrel) and the angle of the stylist's hand. With practice and the right brush, you can get reasonably close at home in twice the time.
