A Shampoo & Blow-Dry for long hair below the shoulder is a dedicated styling appointment that leaves hair cleansed, conditioned and beautifully finished, without any cutting or colouring involved. It's ideal for anyone in Lutterworth wanting a polished look for an event, interview or simply a refresh, and the extra length means a little more time and product to get it right.
More information
What's Included
The service is built around a few key stages to get long hair looking its best:
- Consultation to discuss your preferred finish, whether sleek, voluminous or softly wavy
- Shampoo and conditioning using products suited to your hair type
- Towel-drying followed by heat protectant and styling products
- Sectioned blow-dry using round or paddle brushes to smooth the cuticle and build shape
- Finishing touches such as shine serum or lightweight hairspray to hold the style
Who It Suits
This appointment is a good fit if you want a professional finish without changing your cut or colour:
- Longer hair below the shoulders, which typically needs the full 60 minutes to dry and style thoroughly
- Thicker or curlier hair, where sectioning and tension techniques help achieve a smooth result
- Anyone preparing for a special occasion, or simply wanting a lift for the week ahead
- Those with coloured or chemically treated hair, where the stylist can select gentler products
Our team, including Jayne Elliott, Kasie Pearce, Lisa Reeve and Donna Brookes, can tailor the approach to your hair's condition and the look you're after.
What to Expect Afterwards
A good blow-dry should hold up well with a little care:
- Results generally last 1 to 3 days, depending on hair type and activity levels
- Avoid rain, steam or heavy sweating where possible to keep the style fresh
- Sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase, or tying hair loosely, helps reduce friction overnight
- If you have extensions or extra-long hair, let your stylist know when booking, as this may affect timing

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a shampoo and blow-dry take for long hair?
This service is typically booked for around 60 minutes, allowing time for washing, conditioning, sectioned blow-drying and finishing touches on hair below the shoulders.
How much does it cost?
Pricing ranges from £34.25 to £51.50, depending on hair thickness, condition and the exact finish requested.
Will this change my haircut or colour?
No, this is a styling and finishing service only. If you want a new shape, layers or colour, you'd need to book a cut or colour appointment separately.
How long will the blow-dry last?
Most clients find the style lasts 1 to 3 days, though this depends on hair type, oiliness and how active you are in between.
Can I get a sleek or a bouncy finish?
Yes, your stylist will discuss your preferred look during a brief consultation and choose brushes and techniques, such as smoothing with tension or wrapping around a round brush, to suit.
What if I have very curly or textured hair?
Curly or coily hair can usually be accommodated, though it may need extra sectioning and product to achieve a smooth or defined result, so let your stylist know when booking.
Do I need to mention extensions or extra-long hair?
Yes, please flag this at booking, as extensions or very long hair often need more time to wash and blow-dry thoroughly without tangling.
How can I make the style last longer at home?
Avoid moisture such as rain or steam, minimise brushing or touching the hair, and consider sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.
Is this service safe for coloured or damaged hair?
Yes, stylists use heat protectants and can adjust products and heat settings for coloured or chemically treated hair to help protect its condition.
