Ladies Haircuts and Blow Drys

Your hair should feel like it belongs to you, not to whatever trend is trending that week. That’s the thinking behind our ladies haircuts and blow drys menu. Every wash, cut and style starts with a proper consultation, because the same “wolf cut” request can mean three completely different haircuts depending on your face shape, hair density and how much time you actually want to spend on it each morning.

Below you’ll find every cut and blow dry service we offer, honest starting prices, and a plain-English guide to the styles our clients ask for most, from long layers and curtain bangs to the French bob and pixie cut. If you’re not sure what suits you, that’s exactly what the consultation is for.

Long Wash, Cut & Style

From: £53

A long wash, cut and style includes a relaxing shampoo and conditioning treatment, a precision cut tailored to your hair type and face shape, and a full blow dry finish. This is the service most clients book when they want their long hair reshaped rather than just trimmed, whether that’s adding shape through layers, softening the front with bangs, or moving into a completely new silhouette like a wolf cut or shag.

Your stylist will talk through your hair’s natural texture, how it grows, and how much daily styling you’re realistically willing to do before a single section is cut. That conversation is what stops a “quick trim” turning into a haircut you have to fight with every morning.

Long Layers

Long layers are the most requested cut on long hair, and for good reason. Rather than cutting hair to one blunt length, layering removes weight from the mid-lengths and ends so the hair moves, bounces and frames the face instead of hanging flat. Long layers work particularly well on thick or heavy hair, where they reduce bulk without sacrificing length, and on fine hair, where shorter internal layers create the illusion of extra volume and thickness.

Because the layers are subtle and blend gradually, this cut grows out gracefully and is easy to maintain between salon visits, typically needing a trim every 10 to 12 weeks to keep the shape fresh.

Wolf Cut

The wolf cut is a modern take on the shag, built around one clear idea: dramatic volume at the crown that tapers into a longer, thinner perimeter. Unlike a softly blended cut, a wolf cut is intentionally disconnected, so the top layers sit shorter and choppier while the back and sides trail off into length. It’s a strong choice if you have medium to thick, straight to wavy hair and want a bold, editorial finish rather than a safe, grown-out trim.

Because the shape relies on visible contrast between the crown and the ends, a wolf cut needs slightly more upkeep than a standard layered cut, with trims recommended every six to eight weeks to keep the disconnection sharp.

SHAG CUT

Where the wolf cut goes for contrast, the shag cut goes for movement. It’s built from soft, heavily graduated layers that blend evenly from the crown all the way down to the ends, giving a rounded, feathered silhouette with volume distributed throughout rather than concentrated at the top. This makes it a genuinely versatile cut, one that flatters medium to thick hair with natural wave or curl, and softens fine hair by adding texture without stripping out density.

A well-cut shag is also one of the lowest-maintenance long styles on this list. It grows out softly instead of losing its shape, so most clients are comfortable stretching visits to every 8 to 12 weeks.

Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs are a soft, face-framing fringe parted down the middle and swept back on either side, blending seamlessly into the rest of your layers rather than sitting as a hard, blunt line across the forehead. They’re one of the most flattering fringe styles available because they can be tailored in length and thickness to suit almost any face shape, drawing the eye inward and softening the forehead, cheekbones and jawline.

Curtain bangs pair especially well with long layers, the wolf cut and the shag cut, and can usually be styled at home with just a round brush or a light wave from a wand.

Short Wash, Cut & Style

Short hair is not “low commitment” hair, it’s precision hair. A millimetre out on a pixie or a French bob is far more noticeable than the same margin on long layers, which is why our short wash, cut and style service always includes a full consultation, a wash, a precision cut, and a complete blow dry and finish so you leave with the style actually set, not just cut.

FRENCH BOB

The French bob is a jaw-skimming, blunt-edged cut with a distinctly Parisian feel, often paired with a soft or full fringe. It works on a genuinely wide range of face shapes and hair types, softening angular features, balancing round faces, and adding the appearance of thickness to fine hair. It can be worn sleek and polished or slightly undone and textured, which is part of why it has remained one of the most requested short cuts season after season.

Because the shape sits so close to the jawline, regrowth is more visible than on longer cuts, so a trim every 4 to 6 weeks keeps the line crisp.

PIXIE CUT

A properly cut pixie is built around your bone structure, not just cropped short and left to fend for itself. The key details are in the nape, the crown volume and the length left around the temples, all of which can be adjusted to lift round faces, soften square jawlines, or add a lifting, youthful effect for finer, thinning hair. Contrary to the myth that pixies only suit one type of face, a well-tailored pixie can be adapted to flatter almost anyone.

It’s also one of the lowest-effort cuts to style day to day, since a good pixie is designed to hold its shape with little more than a wash and air-dry, though trims every 4 to 6 weeks are essential to keep the precision.

Short Wolf Cut

The short wolf cut takes the same disconnected, top-heavy philosophy as its longer counterpart and applies it to a shorter length, delivering choppy, voluminous layers on top with a tapered, closer perimeter underneath. It’s a great option if you want the texture and attitude of a wolf cut without committing to length, and it suits medium density, straight to wavy hair particularly well.

Like the long version, it needs slightly more frequent trims than a classic layered bob, roughly every six to eight weeks, to keep the disconnection looking deliberate rather than simply grown out.

Long Wash & Blow Dry

From £35

If your cut doesn’t need reshaping but your style does, our long wash and blow dry service is a full shampoo, conditioning treatment and professional blow dry finish on long hair, no cutting involved. It’s a popular standalone appointment before an event or simply when you want salon-fresh, smooth, voluminous hair without the commitment of a haircut, and it’s a service many clients book on a regular weekly or fortnightly basis to keep their style looking consistently polished.

Short Wash & Blow Dry

From: £25

The same principle applied to shorter hair: a relaxing wash, conditioning treatment and a full blow dry and style, with no cutting included. Short hair holds shape differently to long hair, so our stylists use the right brush size and heat setting to build volume at the root and keep the finish looking intentional rather than flat.

Full Wanding/Curling

Wanding uses a curling wand rather than a round brush and hairdryer to create defined, long-lasting curls, from tight ringlets to loose, soft waves. A full wanding and curling service curls the entire head, section by section, finished with a light-hold product to help the curl pattern last through a night out or a full day of events.

Loose Curls

Loose curls are a softer, more relaxed take on wanding, designed to look effortless rather than perfectly uniform. This finish suits everyday wear as well as special occasions, giving movement and body without the tighter, more structured curl of a full wanding service.

Additional Wanding

Added to any wash, cut or blow dry, additional wanding lets you finish a fresh cut or blow dry with curls or waves rather than a straight, smooth style, giving you a completely different look from the same appointment.

Under 13s Kids Cut

A gentler, unhurried wash, cut and style designed specifically for children under 13, with a patient approach and a simple, easy-to-maintain shape that grows out well between visits.

The Shag Cut: The Ultimate Effortless, Textured Hairstyle

The shag cut has earned its reputation as one of the most forgiving, low-maintenance long hairstyles around. Its heavily graduated layers add texture and movement while still growing out gracefully, which is why it continues to be one of our most requested long cuts.

The butterfly cut takes long layering to the next level, using dramatically shorter layers around the crown that “open up” like wings as the hair falls, creating maximum volume and movement, especially on thick or wavy hair.

The Ultimate Guide to the Burst Fade Haircut

While most associated with men’s and children’s cuts, the burst fade is increasingly requested for short, undercut-style women’s haircuts too, using a rounded, radial fade around the ear that blends seamlessly into longer length on top.
