I’ve had my hair done by Carlo twice now, requesting him to do my hair in a very specific curly wave blow dry. Both... times he has delivered exceptionally. I would highly recommend him, he is excellent and extremely pleasant to talk to. Thank you so very much for leaving me feeling beautiful every time Carlo, I’ll be back very soon to have my hair blow dried by you again :)read more

Desperately needed a really good wash and blow dry - and was so pleased with my wash and dry from Carlo at the Canary... Wharf salon - I explained how my thick hair sometimes doesn’t feel clean after a wash and he was brilliant - felt like a spa treatment wash and really good blow dry - exactly how I wanted, he was happy to look at a picture too of how I wanted it. Going back on Monday for a cut 🥂😃Was also easy to book - used app at 730 and was there having my wash at 8am 👌🏻And the safety / PPE wasn’t a big hassle either 😷💕read more

I will start by saying how good this place is in terms of their blow drying services. And how I have recommended and... been a happy costumer till my last visit at canary wharf. The guy that shampooed my hair was so rough, he pulled my freshly done ear piercing and despite me telling him how bad it hurt, he did it again, TWICE!! Now, I am left with, what is called a shock bump on my ear! Then he blow dried my hair pulling my hair so roughly in all directions. And frankly I didn't even like what he did with my hair in the end. It was anything but a good or relaxing experience!read more

I can not recommend this enough. Paulina and Maria are really good. I have long, curly hair and so I know it's not easy... to straighten and it's very rare to find a hair stylist/salon that treats the hair well. They were very delicate with the hair and the end result was better than expected. They gained a loyal customer for sure.read more

Having sampled the services of other blow dry bars in Canary Wharf, I would only ever go back to blowdryexpress.... Instead of a generic and limited set of options, the stylists really listen to what you want and today that was beach waves rather than the full prom night curls look!...service is very quick without being rushed- perfect for a lunchtime or last minute visit! I couldn't recommend them more.read more

Two friends and I scheduled appointments to get blow outs on Friday night, when we arrived this girl there told us that... they were closing although we had called and booked appointments, which we thought was strange. We called back to their central booking line and confirmed we had appointments, and the person on the phone had to talk to the girl in the store, following which she reluctantly agreed to help us, but only for 2/3 people. I then said I was fine sitting out since I didn't really need a blow out and was just accompanying my friend, so my 2 friends proceeded with their appointments.The one girl who originally turned us away finished one of my friends earlier so said "oh, let me help you do something as well since you guys are going out tonight." I was like no it's okay but she insisted, and we thought she was just being nice and didn't want me to be left out. I sat down and she asked when the last time I washed my hair was, and I said last night. She then said "perfect" and then proceeded to use a straight iron to curl my hair without any washing. No heat protector or treatment was applied either. The curls she gave me were also quite tightly wound and left my hair feeling dry and coarse. Honestly, I could've done a better job myself. She made it seem like it was complimentary but I didn't want to presume that so I went to pay and she charged me 31 pounds -- the full "rush hour" fee -- for a 15 min flat iron with no hair wash. My friends had hair washes and blow outs that took 30-45 minutes and paid the same thing. We all thought she was being nice and doing something complimentary in her spare time, but it was quite the opposite. I left feeling ripped off with a style I didn't ask for nor liked, as well as an incomplete service. If the manager of this location can contact me to discuss, happy to give you more details on this employee.Ps: the other taller girl who was there who helped my other friend was completely fine so want to make clear this review is not about her.read more

Francesca is an absolute top stylist. She is the heart of this place. She does an unbelievable blow dry that’s why I... keep on coming back. However I feel that the owners need to invest more to ensure that the staff is better equipped. I have heard too many times from clients that the app has failed or they turn up for an appointment but they were not logged in to the system. The whole point of this service is to assist people to come in and go. If it wasn’t for Francesca always acting so professional and doing such a good job I probably would not keep on coming. Would be wise for the owners to invest in this business if they want to see it be successful.read more

I have been looking for a blow dry service that could suit me..I am Italian and I am not used to the quality of... services that I found here in London..I am never satisfied because they never wash my hair and rinse it properly which I believe is very important for a good final result. I tried Blow Dry Express and I found Ana who is a super professional hairdresser. I am more than happy to spend a little time traveling to Aldgate to have my hair done by her. I always come out with perfectly washed, rinsed, styled and shiny hair. I highly recommend her!read more

Hands down the best blow dry I’ve had. I am sad that I do not live in London so that I can have my hair done here... regularly. My blow dry lasted me 3 days in the rainy London weather. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted and taken to the wash station immediately. The stylist were extremely nice and skilled. I have very long, thick hair and they managed to tame and style it beautifully. I have yet to have a blow dry in the US that has been done to my liking or lasted. Will return every visit!read more

Really impressed with Blow dry express. My train was late so they moved my appointment twice with ease. Replied... immediately to messages. My blow dry is amazing. I washed my hair and tied it back for the appointment but They can wash your hair. The guy that did my hair gave me a gorgeous bouncy blow dry. No frizz. It didn’t drop at all which is usually the case with I have my hair GHD curled. Woke up next day and hair still looks amazing! The guy that did my hair was lovely and really friendly Highly recommend 5*read more

This is my favourite hairdressers in London for blow dries. I come here every week and have been to pretty much all the... well known places around London. Andrea & Larissa are my 2 favourite hairdressers. They're both incredibly talented, fast and absolutely amazing with hair. I've very thick and unruly hair and they make me feel so comfortable and never guilty about "how much hair" I have. Definitely recommend a million times over!read more

Paulina was fantastic. She worked me in same day and really listened to what I wanted and needed. As I was in town for... vacation I wanted my blowout to last as long as possible with body and texture. She made some suggestions and used just the right products and even set my hair to make sure the blow out not only looked stunning but also will last! The shop was clean, cute, and chic with an open feel and great lighting. I will definitely be back and hope to book Paulina again. She made me feel like a duchess!read more

Natalie did a wonderful up do for me. I decided to upgrade to the up do after arriving at the salon and amazingly... Natalie was able to accommodate me on the Thursday before Christmas. I had no idea what I wanted but Natalie was able to make suggestions and I was very happy with the result. Picture shows how it looked in the salon but it lasted 6 hours of hard partying, walking through the rain, and a train journey home. It still looks lovely the next day too. Can’t wait to go back!read more

Brazilian Blowout

When you need a trusted provider, trust Blow Dry Express with your Brazilian BlowOut
BDE has 100’s of happy clients with glossy vibrant hair after the Brazilian BlowOut

The WOW!
Brazilian Blowout is a liquid keratin formula that bonds to your hair to create a protective layer around each strand, effectively diminishing frizz, sealing the cuticle. The smoothing treatment uses ingredients indigenous to Brasil which leaves your hair more hydrated, less frizzy, and more resilient to heat styling—with an amazing glossy mirror-like shine.

The How
The process takes one – two hours depending on the hair. It is a three step process. Your stylist will begin by shampooing your hair to remove all the product and create a base for the treatment to adhere. The Brazilian BlowOut formula will be applied from root to tip, then blow-dried smooth. A flat iron will seal it, then there is another shampoo bowl to rinse out the treatment, followed by a deep conditioning mask. Your hair will once again be blow-dried smooth.

The Brazilian BlowOut is different from a keratin treatment. The Brazilian BlowOut has a milder formula that can be tailored to your hair type, and is a little less precious post-treatment. With the Brazilian BlowOut, there is no waiting period for swimming, showering etc. Unlike the post-keratin routine, there are no restrictions on your activities. Since the treatment is rinsed out in the salon, you can wait as long or as little as you’d like to wash it, but use a sulfate- and chlorine-free formula to preserve its lifespan. BDE also sells Brazilian BlowOut shampoo & conditioner for regular use after the salon treatment.

The How Long
Your treatment should last anywhere from three to four months assuming you throw away your old shampoos that contain sulphates and chlorine. Once it wears off your hair will return to its natural curl pattern.

The How Safe*
The treatment is safe on any hair type, and actually helps to improve shine as well as moisture levels. Brazilian BlowOut is completely safe on colour-treated strands, and since it completely seals off the hair shaft, may extend the vibrancy and colour hue for longer. Some clients have had hair colouring and a Brazilian Blowout in the same day. The Brazilian BlowOut may make the colouring a bit brighter.

The How Much
Blow Dry Express Brazilian BlowOuts start at £285 depending on how much hair you have.
