Merluza’s Bouncy Blow Dry is engineered for lift, movement and a polished, photo-ready finish. We map your parting, face shape and hair density, then build body with disciplined sectioning, controlled tension and cool-setting for hold.
You leave with smooth roots, airy mids and buoyant ends that feel light and last. The look suits everyday polish or event glam, and we tailor products by hair type to protect integrity and preserve shine.

What’s Included
A focused, 45 minute blow dry that delivers clean lift, controlled movement and lasting shine.
- Cleanse and condition tailored to hair and scalp

Who It’s For
Ideal for fine to medium seeking fullness, and medium to coarse wanting smooth volume. Works on straight and wavy textures, and can be adapted for curls with diffused prep and larger sections. Suitable with extensions; we avoid anchor points and moderate heat. Great for interviews, nights out and content days when you want movement that lasts without stiffness.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Service time is 45 minutes. Arrive a few minutes early for a quick consult so we can focus the finish. Very long or very dense hair may require a timing upgrade; add-ons like hot-tool detailing can extend the slot. For events, book within 24 hours of call time for best longevity.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Sleep on a silk pillowcase or loosely clip the crown to preserve lift. Day two, mist roots lightly, restretch with a large round brush or set a few Velcro rollers while you get ready. Use dry shampoo at the root, a pea of serum on mids and ends, and avoid over-touching. In humidity, top up with a light anti-frizz spray. Rebook as needed for weekly polish or before key dates.

I can’t recommend Merluza highly enough. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was so friendly and welcoming. Valerie was amazing — she’s incredibly knowledgeable and truly skilled at what she does. It’s the best haircut I’ve ever had! James dried my hair to perfection, and together they made this curly girl very happy.

I arrived resembling Crystal Tips — and left with a sleek, shiny blow-dry that Jessica Rabbit would envy! I was welcomed by Zoe, who began with an initial consultation on my (type 4 coily) hair — I even wished her luck with the challenge! She talked me through the products used for the wash, conditioning, and heat protection — and the scent was absolutely divine. Zoe used a drying technique I’d never seen before, and I admit I was a little sceptical at first (using a nozzled dryer, combing with her hands instead of a brush for the initial dry). But I trusted her process, and she worked her magic, even sharing tips on how to achieve a smoother blow-dry at home. The result was incredible — I couldn’t believe how pin-straight my former frizz-bob became! A quick glide with the straighteners added a shine that lasted beautifully for several days. Go and see Zoe for the best blow-dry in B28 — you won’t regret it!
