Your styling visit, start to finish.
Most stand alone services take 45 to 75 minutes from start to finish. Here’s how the visit flows.
Quick chat
Tell your stylist the look you want. Bring a photo if it helps. We’ll talk through the best way to get there based on your hair.
Pro wash and condition
Every stand alone service starts with a fresh wash and conditioner. Clean hair holds a style way better than day old hair.
Warm towel or massage
The VIP Experience adds a warm towel, scalp massage, neck massage, and hand massage. Pure pampering before we even pick up the dryer.
Custom blow dry
A professional blow dry with the right round brush and technique for your hair. This is the foundation of every great style.
Heat styling
If you booked Flat Iron and Curl, your stylist will use the right tool to create the look you want. Sleek and straight, soft waves, or full curls.
Finishing product
A finishing spray, oil, or texturizer to lock the look in. Your stylist will tell you what they used so you can pick it up at home.
- Tell your stylist exactly what you want.Bring a photo. Share the look you’re going for. Knowing your goal at the start gets you a better result.
- Skip the wash for 2 to 3 days.The longer you can wait, the longer your style holds. Use dry shampoo at the roots when your hair starts to feel oily.
- Sleep on a silk pillowcase.Cotton causes friction and frizz. A silk or satin pillowcase keeps your style smooth overnight.
- Pin or wrap your hair at night.Loosely pin curls on top of your head, or wrap straight hair in a silk scarf. Both protect your style while you sleep.
- Touch up with a flat iron, not water.If a piece falls flat, touch it up with a flat iron or curling iron. Water and dampness undo a blow out fast.
- Book ahead for big events.Schedule your stand alone visit 1 to 2 days before the event. Your style will look fresh on the day and still hold up if there’s a delay.
Stand alone questions, answered.
-
What are stand alone hair services?
Stand alone services are quick salon services like blow dries, heat styling, and the VIP Experience that do not require a haircut or color. They are great for events, photos, dates, or any day you want to look fully finished without a longer appointment. -
What is included in the VIP Experience at Smith Hair Salon?
The VIP Experience is our top styling service. It includes a warm towel, a scalp massage, a neck massage, a hand massage, and a full professional blow dry. It’s designed for clients who want extra pampering and a polished finish in one visit. -
How long does a blow dry appointment take?
Most blow dry appointments take 45 to 60 minutes depending on hair length and density. If you have very thick or long hair, plan for closer to 60 minutes so your stylist has time to do it right. -
How long will my blow out last?
Most blow outs last 3 to 5 days with the right care. Skip washing for the first 2 to 3 days, sleep on a silk pillowcase, and pin your hair up at night. Use dry shampoo to refresh and a flat iron to touch up small sections instead of starting over. -
Should I wash my hair before my appointment?
No need. Every stand alone styling service starts with a fresh wash and conditioner so your stylist has a clean canvas. Skip heavy products on the day of your appointment so we can give you the best result. -
Are walk-ins welcome for blow dry or styling?
Walk ins are welcome when availability allows. For weekends, holidays, and events, booking online ahead of time is the best way to make sure you get the time slot you want. -
Can I book stand alone styling for an event or wedding?
Yes. Stand alone styling is a popular choice for weddings, photo days, date nights, parties, and other events. The Flat Iron and Curl service or VIP Experience are both great picks. Book online a few days ahead so you secure your preferred time.
