Blow drys, updos and treatments at The Whiteley

Our Notting Hill blow dry bar is at The Whiteley on Queensway, two minutes from Bayswater station and a short walk from Portobello Road. Blow drys start at £44 and updos at £54, and we are open until 7pm Monday to Saturday.

The salon has its own bar, a dedicated group styling area and a private event space for up to 60, so it works for a hen party or a bridal morning as well as a blow dry before dinner on Westbourne Grove.

Every blow dry starts with a look from our look book, from a bouncy Classic Duck to something sleeker, and your stylist will tell you what will hold best on your hair.

Groups and events

Our Notting Hill salon has a dedicated group styling area and a private event space for up to 60, with its own bar. Hen parties, birthdays and bridal mornings, with blow drys, updos and braids for everyone in the room. Book partial hire, a half day or the whole salon.
