Hair salons assume you want a fancy blow dry

[jumpintheline]

Is it just me? It used to be that you could book a hair cut and they would dry your hair for you at the end. No drama.

Now there is not even an option on my salon’s website for hair cut. It includes a blow dry which doubles the bloody cost!

I booked in this week and added a note to the booking saying I just want my hair dried, not a fancy blow dry. My hairdresser called me today sounding slightly incredulous and asked several times if I was sure I didn’t want a fancy blow dry?

No I don’t!! And I don’t want the salon to assume I want one!!

is it just me?

Doesn't work so well for me unfortunately. They always pull it really straight so my head looks flat and sometimes even turn it in when I say I hate that. It IS much smoother when they do it, but that's spoilt by any wind, rain or humidity I encounter afterwards. I find I can go an extra day without washing with a proper blow dry, but it wouldn't be five days so not really worth it.

I find a blow dry leaves me looking like a poodle. Just dry it straight!

I have tricky hair and a wet cut doesn't work well for me. Prior to hair cuts I wash, dry and straighten my hair. I had dry cuts for over a decade. When hairdressers see my hair type they usually accept it is the best way.
