A precise, heat-safe styling service focused on lasting results.

  • Pin-cooling or setting where needed for longevity.

  • Styling on dry hair only; wash and blow-dry not included.

Who It's For

Perfect if you want movement and polish without a full wash and blow-dry. Great for busy professionals, evenings out, brunches, or a confidence boost between colour or cut appointments. Suitable for most hair types from fine to thick; technique and products are adjusted to your texture. Works best from chin-length bobs to long hair.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow 30 to 45 minutes. Please arrive with clean, completely dry hair. For best hold, wash the night before and avoid heavy conditioners, oils or silicone serums. Skip tight hairbands beforehand to prevent kinks. If you’d like a wash and blow-dry first, book it in addition so the right time is allocated.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Avoid over-touching while the curls set. Sleep with hair loosely twisted and secured with a soft scrunchie, ideally on a silk pillowcase to reduce frizz. The next day, revive with a light mist of texturising spray or dry shampoo, then reshape sections with your fingers. Shield from moisture and wind where possible and use an anti-humidity spray. For back-to-back events, book a re-style or a quick refresh appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare my hair for this service?
Arrive with clean, completely dry hair. For best hold, wash the night before and avoid heavy conditioners, oils or silicone serums. Skip tight hairbands to prevent kinks.
How long will the waves or curls last?
With good prep and aftercare, most styles last 1 to 3 days, depending on your hair type and the weather. We set the shape and use finishing products to maximise longevity.
Is a wash and blow-dry included?
This service is styling on dry hair only. If you’d like a wash and blow-dry first, please book it as an add-on so the correct time can be allowed.
Will it work on short, fine or very straight hair?
Yes. We tailor the tool, temperature and product to your hair. Short bobs get soft movement, longer lengths can hold more defined curls, though results and longevity vary by texture.
Can you style hair with extensions or a keratin treatment?
Yes. We work around bonds and tape, use heat-safe settings and choose suitable products. Please mention extensions or recent keratin when booking so we can prepare accordingly.
