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.
