If you need a wash and blow-dry, book a blow-dry with heat styling instead. How long will the style last? Usually one to two days, depending on your hair and care. Humidity, product build-up, and touching your hair can reduce hold. Can you style hair with extensions? Yes, most extensions are suitable if they are heat-safe. Please tell us the method when booking so we can adapt technique and products. What should I do before arriving? Arrive with clean, fully dry hair, free from heavy oils or residue. Brush through tangles and avoid tight bands to prevent marks. Is heat protection always used? Yes. We apply professional heat protection and set safe temperatures for your hair type. This helps minimise breakage and keeps shine.
