More information

What's Included

A precise blow-dry focused on long-lasting body and shine.

  • Consultation to understand your hair, routine and desired look.
  • Cleanse and condition chosen for your hair type.
  • Heat protection and lightweight prep for grip and gloss.
  • Round-brush blow-dry for root lift and smooth, curved ends.
  • Section-by-section technique for even bounce and control.
  • Cool set, rollers or pin curls where needed to lock in shape.
  • Finishing polish with lightweight serum or spray.
  • Personal aftercare advice and simple styling tips.

Who It's For

If you want hair that looks fuller, smoother and effortlessly put-together, this is for you. It suits fine hair needing lift, thicker hair needing control, and natural waves or curls that benefit from smoothness without losing movement.

Great for busy days, client meetings, lunches with friends or a night out. Works on bobs through to long layers, with the finish tailored to your cut and face shape.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 45 to 60 minutes for most hair types. Very thick or long hair may take up to 75 minutes. If you are on a tight schedule, mention it when booking so we can select the right slot.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Keep hair dry and avoid steam for a few hours after your blow-dry. Sleep on a silk pillowcase or loosely clip hair up to maintain shape. On day two, refresh roots with a little dry shampoo and add large rollers or a cool blast to revive lift. Brush gently with a soft bristle or paddle brush and avoid heavy oils that weigh hair down. Use heat protection if restyling, and a light hairspray to hold without stiffness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my bouncy blow dry last?
Most clients enjoy 2 to 3 days of bounce, sometimes longer on thicker hair. Avoid moisture and use a silk pillowcase to help it last. We will show you quick tips to refresh on day two.
Is it suitable for fine or flat hair?
Yes. We use lightweight prep and root-lift techniques to add body without weighing hair down. Your finish is tailored to stay soft and move naturally.
Will it work on curly or frizzy hair?
Yes. With the right prep and tension, we smooth curl while keeping volume. If your hair is very humidity-prone, we can add anti-frizz finishing or suggest longer-term smoothing options.
Should I wash my hair before the appointment?
No need. A cleanse and condition are included so the blow-dry holds properly. Avoid heavy oils or leave-ins on the day as they can reduce bounce.
Can you add curls or waves to the finish?
Absolutely. We can use rollers or tongs for a looser, bouncier or more defined wave. Tell us the look you want during the consultation.
