The Classic Blow-Dry
Think polished, timeless and full of movement. A classic blow-dry uses heat, brushing and shaping to create body through the hair while keeping the finished look soft and wearable. It’s ideal if you want that fresh-from-the-salon feeling without your hair looking overly styled. Choose a classic blow-dry if you want a versatile finish that works just as well for everyday plans as it does for a special occasion.
The Big Bounce
For anyone who wants their hair to feel fuller, lifted and full of movement. The Big Bounce is all about volume think lifted roots, rounded ends and plenty of body. It’s the blow-dry to choose when you want your hair to make more of a statement. Perfect before dinner, a special occasion or simply when you want a little more glamour in your everyday routine.
The Sleek Blow-Dry
If smoothness, shine and polish are more your style, the sleek blow-dry could be the one for you. Rather than focusing on maximum volume, this finish is all about beautifully smooth lengths, polished ends and a glossy, controlled finish. The result is effortless and put-together without feeling overdone.
The Soft Movement Blow-Dry
Movement without the drama.
If you like your hair to look polished but still feel natural, ask your stylist for soft movement through the length rather than maximum volume or defined curls. The result is hair that moves naturally and feels effortless perfect if you want something understated, wearable and easy.
The Set & Pin-Curl Blow-Dry
Some of the most beautiful blow-dry techniques are also some of the oldest. Pin curls are created by shaping sections of hair and securing them while they cool. This helps the hair hold its shape, creating volume, movement and a longer-lasting finish. It’s a beautiful choice for anyone who loves a traditional salon blow-dry and wants their style to carry through the week.
The Weekly Blow-Dry
Not every blow-dry has to be for an occasion. For many clients, a weekly blow-dry becomes part of their routine a regular appointment to refresh their hair, maintain its shape and take some time for themselves. Whether you prefer a classic set, soft volume or a smooth finish, your stylist can create a look that works with your hair and your routine.
