If you are in need of a quick blow dry, London has some of the best blow dry bars that can get your short or long locks styled just the way you want them. Whether it’s an up do or a Hollywood style blow out you are after, this list should fit the bill and don’t worry you are not cheating on your hairdresser.

Hershesons

Hershesons have three blow dry bars in London. Residing in Selfridges, One New Change shopping centre and also Topshops’s flagship store in Oxford Circus. The ethos is no cuts, no colouring just styling, with a menu of twelve different blow drys to choose from. My favourite is the half & half, a mix between a classic blow dry and big hair with lots of bounce. The majority of styles start from £25 for a 30 minutes blow dry, but if you are rushed for time try the 15 minute blow, which takes out the wash element and is priced at £15.
