Preparing Your Hair for Your Blowdry Appointment

To best prepare for your blowdry, we recommend washing and conditioning your hair the night before. Avoid heavy styling products like gel or hairspray, it’s best if your hair is clean and damp on arrival. Communicate with your stylist about any products you usually use or any specific concerns you have. We usually ask about your lifestyle and preferences to create a style that fits.

Step-by-Step Breakdown of Your Blowdry Session

When you arrive at our salon, you’ll be greeted warmly. Then, we’ll discuss the style you want. This session usually takes around 30 minutes, and it involves a full shampoo and blowout service. During the wash, you might feel a comforting scalp massage, which many of our clients love. After the wash, we'll apply heat protectant products and begin drying your hair with a round brush for that smooth look. You'll notice the transformation as we work through section by section.

Aftercare Tips for Your Stunning Blowout

Immediately after your blowdry, your hair should feel smooth and look shiny. We recommend avoiding washing it for at least 48 hours to let the blowout settle in. For styling longevity, you can use a light hair spray to keep flyaways at bay. Remember, during the humid summer months in Placentia, a good anti-humidity product could help maintain your look. Many clients find that their blowout lasts up to a week with proper care. We'll schedule your next appointment to keep your hair looking fabulous, many return regularly for touch-ups and fresh styles.
