I'm a girl who's all for one-stop Salons where you can indulge in multiple hair and beauty treatments all under the same roof, without the hassle of booking separate appointments at multiple locations. Whether that be Hair Colouring, Lashes, Brow Treatments, or just a simple Express Mani. One treatment I'm keen to try out is the infamous 'Salon-finish Blow Dry'. My hair itself is shoulder-length, layered and blonde with added hair extensions - which makes the task of daily hair-styling not so straightforward. And lets not even talk about the ritual of sectioning, curling and getting it to stay perfectly in place for special occasions! So the concept of achieving that "Red Carpet A-List" look in 45 mins and under £30 from the hair connoisseurs over at 'DryBy London' sounds particularly enticing!
Founded by Budapest-born and now London-based sisters Krisztina and Anita, they took their main inspo from the Blow Dry Bars of New York and the iconic women of 5 fashion-forward Cities, incorporated their own unique style on it complete with full 'Hair Menu' (below), and ultimately opened up just off Regents Street in London's Fitzrovia - to bring the Celeb and Socialite favourite treatment to the heart of the City.
"From the sexy, rock chick hair of London, to the beach waves of Rio, to the sleek Upper East Side's styles for ladies who lunch, DryBy introduces its first capsule collection of five classic hairstyles, inspired by the world's chicest style capitals. We've finessed our menu of timeless yet modern looks to suit a spectrum of tastes, whether you like glam, tussled and cool, or that slightly more polished look."
Along with Hairstyling, DryBy offer couture-worthy Express, Luxury, Shellac and Spa-style Manicures with the option of bespoke nail art. Geometric shapes, lines, exposed cuticles and glitter-tips are just a few of the popular designs. Appointments are available to book directly online through their website, or on the App once launched. I for sure will be booking in for an Express Mani with obligatory added glitter, and maybe 'The Rome' Blow Dry for glossy, luscious locks to rival even the styles of Victoria's Secret angels!
Manicures start at £21 up to £45, and Blow Drys £28-£98 depending on specific treatment.
Is a complete styled blow dry something you'd try?
