To not want to pay for my hair to be blow dried?

I have really, really short hair - fine and not much of it unfortunately! I have finally found a hairdresser who cuts it just like I want but she (or rather her boss) insists that I also pay to have it dried. Each time I have it cut, by the time she has finished it has already dried and is exactly how I want it. She then sprays water on it so she can dry it. Confused AIBU to not want to pay for drying? Now that it is so short, I would like it cut more often but can't afford to! Plus, without drying I can literally be in and out of the salon in under 15 minutes which surely frees up time for other clients - some of which have long, curly hair that takes over half an hour to dry and style.

I have long thick hair but I don't get it blow dried because it costs quite a lot and as I wash my hair every two days it's not worth it, my hairdresser rough dries it for me.

I also have thick long hair and I don't get them to blow dry. I actually specify it when I call and they seem to think it's totally normal. Your hairdresser is being cheeky by insisting on it. It's at least another £20 on top usually and she/he should not feel like they have a right to charge that.

I really resent paying for a blow dry when I have already spent a ton of money getting my hair coloured and cut. Surely it's in the interest of the salon that you leave there looking great. Different if you want a particular finished look but not if you just want it dried off so you can leave looking reasonable.

I have my hair cut very short and it costs £7.50. My friend - who is a hairdresser- does it. Blasts it with a hairdrier and ruffles it. It is SUPPOSED to look like this. The hair does but the face doesn't 😊
