Great and efficient blow dries! Ask for Carlo!

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!

Carlos is fantastic! He did my hair and my sisters and we both loved it! Would definitely recommend!

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 😷💕

Highly recommend this blow dry bar!!! Great location right in Canary Wharf station. Paulina has the softest touch and always gives me the most satisfying blow dries. From washing my hair to blow dry! Glad this place has reopened 💕

I was seen by a lovely lady named Namrata at the Blow dry Express in Canary Wharf. She was extremely professional and really bubbly at the same time. 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 booked with Paulina at blowdry express in Canary Wharf. She was very professional and is amazing with hair, I showed her a photo of how I wanted it and she made it happen. Absolutely loved my hair and will definitely be booking Paulina in future. Amazing hairdresser.

Such a lovely team at Canary Wharf salon, Carlos done my hair and I am really pleased with it. Lots of volume and bouncy curls - hard to find a good blow dry in London would recommend this place!

I was really happy with the friendly service and the great results. My hairstylist was Carlo. He was absolutely fantastic and really understood how to manage my hair. I had had an exquisite blow dry. I will definitely be returning to Blow Dry Express at Canary Wharf. Thank you!

We were visiting London from San Francisco for Defected and made appointments 2 days prior. Ana did an amazing job, perfectly matching the photo reference. Because of my hair texture, she made sure to secure the hidden pins. After 6 hours of dancing, my style was still intact! Thank you so much, Ana!!

Great service from Nathalie - she did my hair super quickly and it looked sleek while effortless. Very warm customer service also - much prefer this salon to others in the wharf

Larissa styled my hair brilliantly. I had a heavy tiara which she styled into my hair and spent a lot of time and care over it. Highly recommend!

Great service and outstanding blow dry by Carlo at Canary Wharf store yesterday. Carlo understood exactly what I was looking for and executed it perfectly. He is very client friendly, extremely capable and super professional. Will be back!

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!

Perfect service, doing blow dry 2 times a week and never had an issue 1 at Liverpool with Andrea he is wonderful person and very friendly and professional, always giving me advise that why I tried the mask 2 times already. Last time I tried the cut at Canary wharf and It was wonderful I got advise and had the cut I was looking, Thanks to Paulina Keep giving the service and quality you are doing and a lot of customers will be super happy 😃

Came in for a wash and blow dry while in town and couldn't be happier! Great staff, great service, great price!

Fantastic service, professional stylists. Fast and cost effective. I had a stand alone Olaplex treatment and a blow dry by Amy who was great, very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this place !

Posted by Sian: My appointment was with Amy on Valentine's Day in Canary Wharf and it was fantastic, Amy did a great job of my hair. I left very happy. I have been to Blow Dry Express on a number of occasions and the staff are always friendly and very well trained. So much better than the other similar establishment in the CW area. You may get a glass of fizz, but a substandard blow dry! Also love the variable pricing, so you can choose a time to match your budget, brilliant! Thank you Amy and the team x

Been coming here for over a year, I am always impressed. Anna normally does my blow drys, she's amazing. I visited today and was lucky enough to have both Anna and Andrea work their magic. Thank you to both of you! so pleased.

I visited Blowdry Express for the first time on Saturday morning. It was such a pleasant experience from the start to finish. Paulina did such an excellent blow dry for me and made me feel very welcome. I will definitely be back soon. Thank you Paulina for making my hair look so fab for the weekend !

08:32 13 May 18

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.

Popped in during off peak was serviced right away! Lashan did an amazing job best blow out to date in London, and for a very fair price. Highly recommend.

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.

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

I visited Blow Dry Express in December for an updo for a wedding. I cannot say enough about how amazing Loredana is! I showed her a few photo ideas and she knew just what to do. I got so many compliments at the wedding and loved my hair all night long. Thank you!!

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.

Nicola Cheater

08:34 27 Nov 19

Oh my goodness! These guys are the best blow dryers in London! Thank you so very much Otilia and Andrea for my amazing blow dry! It lasted for 3 days and I felt great. I will definitely be back-I’d go every day if I could!! Thank you so much you are lovely people who work your magic fabulously! Thank you xx

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.

Sofia Ashraf

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!

Elizabeth Alfonso

This was my first visit to the salon on Artillery Lane. I was very impressed with Andrea who blow dried my hair. He was quick, which is a great thing if going during your lunch break, very friendly and pleasant. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Went for my first blow-out experience! I was able to book a same day appointment for an amazing price, and my hair had never looked as good as it did when I left! I am so, so happy with Blow Dry Express. I'm definitely going to make it a monthly treat for myself.

Ana gave me the best blow dry at short notice and within 40 mins. My hair is thick frizzy and dry and I left with shiny hair and just the blow dry I asked for. Really impressed defiantly returning! I needed to find a hairdressers near where I work and am happy this was recommended!

I’m a regular at the Liverpool st one now. I have been serviced by Natalie, Francesca and Andrea. They are all fantastic! It is quite amazing how they can do such a great blow dry in 30 minutes. They are super efficient! And it always lasts a long time. The wash is always very relaxing too. They are super gentle with the brushing. I will be happy to always come back !

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!

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!

09:45 09 Feb 20

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*

My hair colour was done by Andrea- beautiful colour. He is a lovely man whose personality and skill is worth travelling through town for. He always delivers and creates exactly what I want/ask for too. Appointments are always on time/professional and I always leave feeling marvellous! The price point is great too!

I have been to Blow Dry Express a few times now and every experience has been wonderful. While all of the stylists have been great, Larissa made my hair look exceptional! The salon was even very quick and accommodating when I needed a last minute walk in appointment. I would highly recommend as you or your hair won't be disappointed!

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 recently had my hair done for my wedding at Blow Dry Express. Anna was amazing and I couldn't have been happier with how my hair turned out. She listened to my ideas during the trial and was able to accommodate a last minute change on the day. I wouldn't have changed a thing and highly recommend her! Thank you so much Anna! I will definitely be returning to Blow Dry Express for blow drys in the future - the prices are affordable and everyone is very friendly and accommodating.

I had the most wonderful brazillian blowout by Ana. It has been several weeks and my hair still feels soft and less frizzy, and I can't wait to book my next appointment. The service is fantastic, and they do incredible hair. What more could you want?

Lara Haim

07:44 09 Jul 19

I was so impressed by this place. Friendly, skilful and remarkably efficient! 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.

Came here before a night out and the girls were so accommodating. Jade did hands down the best blow out I’ve ever had. I go every week back in the states and no one has ever made my hair this beautiful. So request Jade! Hope to come back here next trip and see her. Xo

I was in London for business, and traveling without any of my styling tools because of conversion issues. I found this Blow Dry Express a short walk from my hotel, it was super easy to make an appointment, there was no wait time when I showed up, I was in and out in less than 30 minutes, and they did a really great job! I will definitely be back!

Bonnie Grubbs

14:52 14 May 19

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!

I had my wedding hair done at the Aldgate salon. Ana was great. We had a couple of trials with different styles at different times and each time she delivered exactly what I was asking for. 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!

Clare Stenson

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.

Caroline Casey

19:12 04 May 18

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!

Ana Sturzu

16:27 22 Mar 18

Love it! Love it! Love it! Every time I visit this place Ana always works her magic and makes my hair look amazing. Couldn’t recommend her enough as I am always happy with the results ( my hair is not very easy to work with -texture and length wise) - 5 stars!

Amelie Jordan

Went here last week with my daughter and definitely coming back. Ana who´s marvelous on styling and very friendly gave a couple advice's to my daughter on how to treat her hair on a long term basis. Love the place and atmosphere. The decor simple but outstanding,marvelous light bulbs.
