The secret blow-dry bars



A blow-dry can transform you from a wreck to chic and glamorous within minutes.  Blow-dry bars are great for when you need to get your hair done in a hurry, but not all are created equal. 

The standards can vary considerably. Results can be disappointing and you also have to watch out that the brushes they use on you are clean as turnover is so quick.





So you need to know about the secret blow-dry bars. If you thought that you could not afford to go to a luxury salon and be pampered by high-calibre staff , you are wrong. My hairdresser Michael Charalambous, in London’s Sloane Square, is where those in the know go to get heads turning. It is the salon where many from the Duchess of Cambridge’s circle reputedly get their tresses tended to. 

You cannot book but just show up and you could get your hair done for £35 (does not include updos) instead of the regular £85. You have a lovely experience and come out looking a million dollars. For that just done but not done look, this is the place to go to.

If you don’t live in London it is worth seeking out the most luxurious salon in your area and asking them if they can do a special rate for a blow-dry there and then. Just remember to avoid busy times.
