A Cut & Blow Dry for Short Hair is a complete cutting and styling appointment designed for neck-length or above-shoulder hair. It's ideal if you want a fresh, structured shape and a polished finish without a full restyle, and takes around 60 minutes at our Lutterworth salon.
More information
What's Included
Each appointment follows a similar structure, adjusted to suit your hair and preferences:
- A brief consultation to discuss the look you want
- Shampoo, condition and scalp massage
- A precision haircut tailored to your face shape, hair texture and growth pattern
- A full blow dry and finish, whether sleek, smooth, bouncy or natural texture
Is This Service Right for You?
This service is designed for hair that falls above the shoulder or at neck length. If your hair is longer or particularly thick, you may need our medium or long hair pricing instead, as this affects timing and technique.
- Suits regular maintenance trims as well as light shape changes
- If you're after a bigger change in length, layering or structure, let your stylist know at booking, as restyles can take extra time and may carry a supplement
- Our team, including Jayne Elliott, Lisa Reeve, Donna Brookes and Kasie Pearce, can talk through which finish and cut length will suit your everyday routine
Maintaining Your Style
Short styles look their best with a bit of regular upkeep.
- Book in roughly every 4 to 6 weeks to keep the shape crisp, especially for shorter or cropped looks
- Use a shampoo and conditioner suited to your hair type
- Avoid brushing hair harshly while wet to protect the cut's shape
- Use heat protection if you're recreating the blow dry at home, and sleep on a smooth pillowcase to help the style last
Good to Know
Pricing for this service ranges from £34.25 to £77.95, reflecting stylist seniority and the complexity of the cut. Colour services are booked separately, though a cut and blow dry is often needed to finish and polish a colour appointment.

As usual it is a delight attending my regular cut and blow dry at Jayne Elliot’s . Arrived soaking wet and dripping so was instantly handed a towel , then has a short sit and wait so I read a magazine , lovely warm shampoo etc and off to Jayne for my cut . I’ve gone for a short neat bob which falls under - love it , so sharp ! Jayne’s blow dry skills are yet to be matched ! Thank you

This was my first time visiting Jayne Elliott Hair Company and I will definitely be returning. Kasie was lovely and seemed to know what I wanted without me being able to explain. I love the cut and I loved the curls that she put into my hair once it had been cut. Thank you!

I can’t say enough about how great it is here. I have curly hair, and it’s such a relief to find someone who truly understands it. I absolutely love my new cut and colour! A big thank you to Jayne and her lovely team — they always make you feel so welcome. Highly recommend. ❤️

Always a great experience. The colour and cut are always spot on. I especially love the organic colours this salon uses — I’m allergic to conventional dyes and can only use organic, so it’s a perfect fit. The atmosphere in the salon is always warm, welcoming, and friendly.

A visit to Jayne Elliott Hair Company is always a fabulous experience. From the warm welcome in the modern, impeccably clean salon to the wonderful team who feel more like friends, the atmosphere is always vibrant and uplifting. Jayne offers thoughtful advice and genuine support whenever I want to try something new, and I always leave feeling amazing.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Jayne has been doing my hair for longer than we’d both care to admit — and every single haircut and experience has been absolute perfection. There’s a reason I’ve been going to her for so many years! ❤️
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a cut and blow dry for short hair take?
This service typically takes around 60 minutes, covering consultation, shampoo, precision cutting and a full blow dry finish.
What counts as "short hair" for this service?
Short hair generally means above shoulder or neck-length. If your hair is longer or shoulder-length or below, a different length category and price will apply.
Why is there a price range for this service?
Pricing varies depending on stylist seniority and the complexity of the cut, with senior stylists and more involved restyles sitting at the higher end of the £34.25 to £77.95 range.
Does this include colour?
No, this is a cutting and styling service. Colour treatments such as tints, highlights or balayage are booked separately, though a cut and blow dry is often used to finish and polish a colour appointment.
How often should I get my short style cut to keep its shape?
Most short styles, especially pixie cuts or cropped looks, are best maintained with a visit roughly every 4 to 6 weeks.
Can I ask for a completely different style or a big change in length?
Yes, but let your stylist know in advance, as restyles usually need a longer consultation and may carry an additional charge to allow for the extra time involved.
How should I care for my hair after the appointment?
Use a shampoo and conditioner suited to your hair type, avoid brushing vigorously while hair is wet, and use heat protection products if restyling with heat tools at home.
What if I have very thick or curly hair?
Let your stylist know, as thicker or more textured hair can affect cutting time, technique and may fall into a different pricing category.
Can I choose how my blow dry is finished?
Yes, your stylist will discuss your preferred finish, whether sleek and smooth, bouncy with root lift, softly curled, or styled to enhance your natural texture.
