Frequently asked questions

How much does a blow dry cost in London?

Blow drys start at £44, or £49 for the Classic with a wash. Updos start at £54, braids from £40, and a cut and blow dry is £99. Longer or thicker hair, and hair with extensions already fitted, carry a surcharge from £10. Please select the correct hair type when you book so enough time is allocated for your appointment. See the full price list

What is the difference between a Classic and an Express blow dry?

The Classic blow dry includes a wash before styling, at £49. The Express blow dry starts at the styling chair, so it suits hair that is already clean and dry, and it is £44.

How long will my hair stay styled?

It varies from person to person. Hair type, length, texture and how you look after it all play a part, and with the right care a style can hold for up to five days. Keep it away from water, sleep on silk, and lift the roots between days with a light mist of Mega Volume Spray.

Can you style curly or textured hair?

Yes, and every hair type is welcome. Tell your stylist whether you want the curl smoothed out or defined and kept, and they will choose the tools and technique to match.

Do you do updos and braids?

Yes, and they are some of our most requested looks. Updos start at £54 and braids from £40, with a menu of on-trend styles from sleek buns to ponytails, twists and plaits, all in our Look Book. For weddings, a trial is £90 and bridal styling £150.

What is the Treatment Bar?

A short menu of add-ons you can pair with any style: Deep Conditioning or a Scalp Detox at £15, Bond Repair or a High Shine Gloss at £30, a Kérastase Fusio Dose at £30, and a head massage at £10. Add one when you book or ask your stylist on the day.

Can I buy the products you use in the salon?

Yes, our own range is on the shelf in every salon and online. Mega Volume Spray is the one behind most of our blow drys at £25, Hair Primer preps hair before heat at £22, and Oomph! adds texture and grip on day two. Everything is made in small batches in the UK, free from parabens and SLS, and colour-safe.

What is a keratin blow dry?

A keratin blow dry is a smoothing treatment where a keratin-based formula is worked through the hair and sealed with heat. It reduces frizz, adds shine and makes hair easier to manage, with results lasting several weeks, unlike a standard blow dry, which styles the hair for a few days. Prices start at £160 including a wash, and hair cannot be coloured for seven days before or after.

What does a cut and blow dry include?

A haircut and a professional blow dry in one appointment, £99 with a wash. Your hair is cut to shape, then styled and finished, so you leave with a fresh cut and a polished look rather than a damp one.

What is a bouncy blow dry?

A bouncy blow dry is a style built around soft volume and movement, with the ends curled under or out for a rounded, full finish rather than a flat one. It is created with a round brush and is one of our signature Duck & Dry looks.

Do you style children's hair?

Yes. Little Dos is our service for under 11s at £35, whether that is for a party, a birthday, or a wedding. Same chairs, same stylists, slightly shorter appointment.

Can I book for a hen do, bridal party or group?

Yes, for up to 60 guests. Every salon has a dedicated group styling table and a private event space, in five of London's best-known addresses. Choose partial hire, a half-day, or the whole salon. Enquire here
