Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the blowdry last?
Most blowdries last two to three days, depending on hair type, activity, and weather. Keeping hair dry, using a silk pillowcase, and a light refresh with a brush can extend wear.
Is hair washing included?
Yes. Your service includes a cleanse, condition, and protective prep before styling. This ensures the finish is smooth, clean, and lasts longer.
Is it suitable for curly hair?
Yes. We smooth or define curls based on your goal, using controlled heat and the right products. Tell us your preference and we will adapt the technique.
Will heat damage my hair?
We use professional heat protection and temperature matched to your hair. Careful sectioning and controlled airflow minimise stress and help maintain healthy shine.
What if my hair is very thick?
Please mention this when booking. We can allow extra time or recommend the best slot so you get a thorough, long-lasting result.
