Shampoo & Blow-Dry – Short Hair (Above Shoulder)
A Shampoo & Blow-Dry for short hair is a stand-alone styling service designed for hair sitting above the shoulder. It combines a tailored wash and condition with a professional blow-dry finish, giving a smooth, voluminous, or textured result without any cutting involved. It's a popular choice for a quick refresh between cuts, for special occasions, or simply when you want salon-quality styling you can't easily recreate at home.
More information
What's Included
The appointment typically runs around 45 minutes and follows a simple process:
- A short consultation to discuss your hair type and the finish you want
- A shampoo chosen for your hair's needs, often with a scalp massage
- Conditioning to hydrate and soften
- Towel-drying, followed by heat protectant and styling products
- Blow-dry styling using round or paddle brushes to add lift, smoothness, or shape
For short hair, stylists often focus on crown lift, fringe shaping, and contouring close to the face, using smaller brushes suited to shorter lengths.
Who It Suits
This service works well if you have:
- Fine or thin hair wanting extra volume at the roots
- Thick or coarse hair needing smoothing and control
- Hair that's coloured or chemically treated, where gentler handling and heat protection matter
- A specific event or occasion coming up, or simply a desire for a polished everyday look
At Jayne Elliott Hair Company in Lutterworth, our team including Kasie Pearce, Lisa Reeve, and Donna Brookes can tailor products and technique to your hair's condition and the style you're after.
Getting the Most from Your Blow-Dry
A salon blow-dry typically lasts 1 to 3 days, depending on hair type and weather. To help it last:
- Avoid water, heavy sweating, or high humidity where possible
- Use dry shampoo at the roots to refresh between washes
- Try a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction overnight
- Avoid tight hats, headbands, or excessive touching, which can flatten or frizz the style
If you're due a cut too, this service pairs naturally with a cut and blow-dry booking, though pricing and timing for that differs from a stand-alone blow-dry.

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.
