A Blow Dry with Pin Curls at Merluza Hair & Beauty gives you more than a smooth finish. After your blow dry, the hair is curled section by section and pinned while it cools, which sets the curl so your waves hold their shape for longer.
What is It?
Pin curling is a classic setting technique. Once the pins are removed, the curls are brushed out into soft, glamorous waves or left more defined, depending on the look you want. It gives more lift, body and staying power than a standard blow dry.

What’s Included
A consultation on the finish you want, shampoo and condition, blow dry, curling and pinning to set, then a brush out and finishing products for shine and hold.
Who is it for?
Perfect for weddings, parties, evenings out and photos, or any time you want your style to last. It suits most lengths that can hold a curl.
How long does it take?
Allow around 60 minutes.
Looking for something different?
For a quicker smooth finish, choose the Classic Blow Dry. For a fuller, rounder look without a set, the Bouncy Blow Dry is a good alternative. For an up-do, book Hair Up for Occasions.

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!
