More information

What's Included

A focused service for a sleek, lasting result.

  • Personal consultation to confirm style, parting, and finish.
  • Shampoo and condition to prep hair.
  • Professional blowdry with round brush or smoothing technique.
  • Heat protection and styling products selected for your hair.

Who It's For

Perfect for anyone who needs a tidy, professional finish in limited time. Suitable for most hair types and lengths. If your hair is very dense, very long, or you wear extensions, we may suggest a longer blowdry for best results.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Your appointment lasts 30 minutes from chair to finish. Arrive five minutes early to confirm your look. Please come with detangled hair to make the most of the time. Very thick or waist-length hair may require a longer slot. If unsure, contact us before booking.

Aftercare & Maintenance

  • Avoid moisture for the first few hours.
  • Use a light hairspray or smoothing cream to tame flyaways.
  • Brush gently from ends upward to keep shape.
  • Refresh at the roots with dry shampoo on day two.
  • Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce frizz.
