The Bouncy Blow Dry

From £45
45 Min

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.

More information

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
  • Prime with heat protection and volume support
  • Directional blow dry with round-brush work for lift and shape
  • Cool-set to lock body and reduce frizz
  • Optional hot-tool polish on ends if needed
  • Shine finish and light humidity shield
  • Brief styling teach-in for home refresh

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.

    It was an incredible experience from start to finish! Valerie and her team are truly outstanding — their service, skill, and attention to detail were exceptional. I felt so well looked after throughout. I highly recommend Merluza and can’t wait to return!

    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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you wash my hair as part of the service?
Yes. The service includes a cleanse and condition chosen for your hair and scalp. If you prefer dry styling, tell us at booking so we can adjust timing and product choice accordingly.
How long will the bouncy finish last?
Typically 1 to 3 days depending on texture, climate and activity. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase, minimal touching and a light day-two refresh help preserve lift and shine.
Is it suitable for all hair types and extensions?
We tailor technique for straight, wavy and curly patterns. With extensions we reduce heat, avoid anchor points and support the blend. If hair is very dense or long, a timing upgrade may be advised.
Can I add curls or extra volume?
Yes. Hot-tool detailing can be added for defined bends or glamour waves. This may extend the appointment, so request it at booking to secure the right slot.
Do I need a patch test?
No patch test is required for a blow dry. If you add any colour or gloss service, a patch test is required at least 48 hours before the appointment.
