I really enjoyed my experience at Blowdry Express, Canary Wharf. Andrea is excellent and very talented - he did my hair and it turned out to be fabulous! From the get go, he understood what I wanted to do with my hair, and more importantly he knew what hairdo would suit me based on my hair type and face shape. I definitely recommend Andrea!

I have visited this place multiple times, and got happy results every time. I have had my hair cut twice, first by Jade, then Carlo, they are both amazing hair stylists. I am very sensitive when it comes to hair cutting as I always worry if I can get the right look. They both are great at listening to my concerns and very easy to communicate with, followed by amazing blowout look that is very flattering. Very happy with this place. Definitely will come back !

Paulina and Carlo have managed to turn my very thick, frizzy hair into smooth and lovely beach waves. They were professional, friendly and provided an excellent result. I will definitely be returning soon!

Also today revisited (as I said I would) and Olivia has done the most amazing updo for me - looks incredible thank you again!

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 :)

This place is amazing. Olivia did my hair perfectly. I'm shy so she let me just relax and enjoy being pampered without too much awkward small talk. I'm definitely going to treat myself to another blow dry next time I have a special event.

Paulina did my hair this week at lunchtime for an evening up do. She did a lovely job, especially considering I have quite short hair, and it lasted from 1pm until 1am easily. As a bonus , when I brushed it out the next morning, it still looked great! Lovely service, very good result. Would recommend.

The hairdressers at BDE are always so welcoming and friendly which is why I love going there. I went to BDE Canary Wharf last weekend for a haircut. Carlo cut my hair, and it was perfect! I described the haircut I wanted, and Carlo offered some great suggestions and options. The end result was better than what I had in mind. Thank you so much Carlo, I am so happy with my new short hair, and I will book an appointment with you next time I visit!

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 😷💕

She did an amazing job washing and blow drying my hair. I have long thick hair but she managed it with great ease and styled it really nicely. I will definite be going back!
It is also worth noting that getting an appointment is really easy and convenient through their on line system.

I have seen Larissa at Canary Wharf twice for blow dry, and couldn't be happier with her service. Not only did she know exactly how to care for my tape-in extensions, but she gave me maybe the best-looking blow-outs I've every had, each time taking only about 30 minutes. Very pleased with her friendliness and service - and will definitely be back...

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!

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.

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.

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.

LOVE this place. They do an incredible job and my hair isn't easy to do. They're efficient, and super affordable. I went to another blow dry place in Canary Wharf that was way overpriced - not impressed. If you need a quick, fab blow dry - I couldn't recommend this place 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!

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!

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*

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!

I have mid-length hair (it's past my shoulders but doesn't reach the bra strap), and the ladies were able to wash, condition and style me with bouncy curls within about 25 minutes: I easily fit the appointment into my lunch break. Excellent job; I would definitely recommend and will be using again.

On the day she was very efficient and precise. They even had a bit of bubbly ready for me and my family to help us celebrate. Definitely recommend.

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!

Blow Dry Express did the hair for me and my bridesmaids on the morning of my wedding and I couldn’t have been more delighted! I was so happy with my hair, and my bridesmaids looked beautiful. SJ and Ana were amazing and such a good addition to our group getting ready on the day - calm and professional but good fun as well! I’m also a regular at the Alie Street salon and whoever does my hair it always looks great. I highly recommend Blow Dry Express.

This is a great spot for a speedy but sleek blow dry. The team are incredibly friendly and professional. The wash is thorough and relaxing. And despite the incredibly reasonable price they don't cut corners like some other blow dry salons.
I will definitely be returning, I just wish they had more salons dotted over west London way!

The lady with piercings that made me the blow dry did a very good job! However, while washing my hair some shampoo got into my right eye and since it was burning I had to use some medicine drops on my eye.
The towels are short for long hair like mine I had to ask for another to cover my arm as it was being wet cuz of the water.
Good service but just those details.

Small cute shop. I had a 330p with them. One guy has to leave who I saw there earlier and Dom was only worker. He was running behind and I waited patiently. The next lady had a 345p and they had called and pushed her back to 4p however with starting with me late there was no way she could be taken at her time. She was visibly annoyed and glared at me. I said straight to her sorry I was on time. He is doing his best. I liked my hair I didn’t love it and wanted to ask for an adjustment but felt I couldn’t since I was already feeling the pressure of the other lady. It was more a 3.5 but I wanted to make sure owner who I met in February when they had an issue with only having cold water would read this. I get needing to max appointments to make money however hard for staff and he was absolutely doing his best and he did a good job! I wanted smooth with some height. He did give me smooth just now height at all. A larger brush on top would have done the trick and he just was so pressured I could see his stress and I didn’t want to make it worse! Still quaint little shop and very easy when I’m at the Andaz.

Such a great asset, a fantastic hair salon that is open before and after work, and provides a great service. Domenico, in particular, is a star at Artillery Lane. He moves like making hair slick and beautiful is part of his DNA, and reminds me of an artist. I can easily imagine him preparing for fashion shows or celebrity weddings in Milan. Also goes above and beyond to provide an experience that feels special and fulfilling - such as pinning my hair to preserve my blow dry when it’s the hottest summer in London. Real quality.

Would definitely come back again.

I have been coming here for a number of years now. And every time I visit, which is very regularly, I always feel like I’ve had such a pamper!
It’s so relaxing knowing you’ll leave with a fab bouncy blow dry every time 😍 Especially, as I have naturally curly frizzy hair and some salons can send you out the door looking fuzzy!
I wish I could name everyone as they are all fab. But I’ve just left very happy with my blow dry from Dom.

I don’t know what I’d do without Blow Dry Express!

I arrived here from Manchester with train and tube delays due to weather I was slightly late for my appointment which was the last booking before they closed and the staff here were so accommodating understanding and patient with me not to mention Steph did a beautiful none rushed job of my hair! She made sure to be thorough and her welcoming manner put me at ease from the rush over here! I cannot highly recommend this place enough - thank you guys for accommodating me and baring with me! I will be back for sure next time I’m in London worth every penny!

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.

My second visit to blow dry express. This time I was booked into the salon in Artillery Lane, I was so impressed when I visited the Algate salon back in December. I had my appointment with the lovely Anna, who coincidentally did my hair the first time. I was so happy when I walked in and was made to feel very welcomed by her. What a great experience. Best blow dry in London and Anna is a real credit. Great place, can't wait to go back. Thank you my date said my hair was beautiful 😊 xx

Andrea is the best hairdresser I have experienced. He does the most amazing fine and natural highlights, with a very good feeling for colours. He listens to what you want and can interpret that into something that looks great with your natural skin tone and colouring - I trust him completely to make me look fabulous.

The best blow dry ever! Andrea is absolutely fantastic and can work miracles with my very unruly and hard to manage hair. He is warm, friendly and patient and makes the blow dry experience a wonderful one each time I visit. He listens to what I want each time and offers suggestions to maintain and enhance hair quality. I can not recommend Blow Dry Express and particularly Andrea highly enough.

I had a wonderful experience at Blow Dry Express on Artillery Lane in London. Andrea is a warm, sweet Italian man who did a great job listening to my needs and did a great job, all in 30 minutes. Recommend if have a hair emergency and need a blow dry in a pinch.

First visit here today and I loved it. Natalie did my hair with help from Francesca. Everything was on point - from the vibe to the service to the finished blow dry. I found Natalie to be exceptionally friendly, very knowledgeable and modestly priced for the end result. Can certainly recommend and will definitely return!

I have been to a few of the Blow Dry Express salons. They are all fab - clean, good value for money and they use top products in your hair. SJ, the owner, is responsive and always willing to help. Maria is one of my favourite stylists - she is amazing. I have thick, long hair and she efficiently transformed it into big bouncy curls. I always receive compliments when she does my hair. She is also super friendly and lovely to chat to. Overall a great service and one I would highly recommend.

Went here on Saturday for a "Birthday blow dry"... I can NOT recommend this place enough. The atmosphere, the service and the blow dry were incredible! Marianna and SJ were amazing! I was so overwhelmed with how my hair looked... I got goosebumps. 100% recommend you give this place a try... a decision you won't regret.

I cant recommend this place enough. SJ made every effort to fit me in so i could get my hair done before a wedding.
I asked questions beforehand and she answered promptly and was so helpful for a complete stranger!

The service was fantastic and thorough and was the best blowdry i have had. The guys pinned my hair so i could undo it later in the day and honestly the results were great!

I want her to come and open one in Manchester so i can make it a weekly visit!

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 £305 depending on how much hair you have.
