AIBU to expect the colourist to dry my hair before I leave the salon?

I haven't much experience of what to expect so would appreciate advice. I booked highlights and a cut which are done by different stylists but when I arrived the colour had to be rescheduled as her car had broken down. I had the cut last week, and returned for the colour this morning.

She did a lovely job, washed it and then said 'there you go' and charged me. I asked if she was going to dry it and she said no she didn't do that. I was a bit taken aback as I was going straight to work and hadn't considered it wouldn't be dried so I asked to borrow a dryer and she was very short with me but did get out this huge very heavy hairdryer that I could barely hold due to arthritis in my shoulder - I use a travel drier at home. Eventually, after a few aborted attempts an elderly woman sat in the waiting area came and offered to help me which was so embarrassing I thanked her, made my excuses and left!

Would you have expected your hair to be dried? I am not going to make a big fuss, I just want to know the norm as it seemed odd to leave with wet hair.

Thank you

I would have expected the £86 quoted to cover everything including cut, dried and styled (either straightened or curled). Did they charge you full last time for a cut and blow dry plus another £86 today? I would only have expected to pay the difference between the two if so!!
