Ladies Cut & Blowdry

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Your appointment begins with a consultation where your stylist discusses length, shape, and styling preferences. Hair is then shampooed and conditioned to create a clean base for cutting, and detangled gently for comfort. Cutting techniques such as layering, texturising, or one-length cutting are chosen based on your desired result and hair type. After the cut, your stylist carries out a full blow-dry using professional brushes and a hairdryer, working methodically through sectioned hair to control direction, lift, and finish. The result is a shape that flatters your features and a style that looks polished and salon-fresh.

Timing, Hair Type, and Styling Options

• Most appointments take 45–75 minutes, with finer or shorter hair at the shorter end and thick, long, or highly textured hair requiring more time
• The service suits all hair types—straight, wavy, curly, thick, or fine—with cutting and blow-dry methods adjusted accordingly
• Stylists use round brushes for volume and movement, or tension and smoothing techniques for sleek finishes
• For volume, the brush is placed under the hair with the dryer on top; for smoothness, airflow is directed along the hair shaft with controlled tension
• Heat protectants and styling products are applied throughout to protect hair, support the style, and enhance shine

Aftercare and Maintaining Your Style

Your blow-dry will look its best for a few days with appropriate care. Use a sulfate-appropriate or colour-safe shampoo and apply heat protectant before any home styling. Avoid over-washing and excessive heat to maintain condition and style longevity. Your stylist will recommend specific products and tools—brush size, finishing products, at-home techniques—so you can recreate elements of the salon look yourself. Most clients return for a trim every 6–8 weeks to maintain the shape, though timing varies depending on your style and hair growth.

Pricing and Booking

Pricing for a Ladies Cut & Blowdry at Aaron Russell ranges from £22 to £69, reflecting stylist experience and hair length or thickness. Longer, thicker hair may cost more due to extra time and product use. If you're planning to add services such as colour, smoothing treatments, or finishing work (curls, waves, or up-styling), allow extra time and discuss this when booking. Our team in Handcross—including senior stylists Kayleigh, Lisa, Harry, Freya, Barry, and Mary, stylist Hannah, and academy stylist Bria—are ready to create a cut and finish that fits your lifestyle.
