The BLOW Australia

The sleek The BLOW Australia is all about — you guessed it — the blow dry. They have a blow-dry menu of on-trend styles to suit any hair type and taste, such as the Rich Girl Hair, The Glitterati or Baby Got Beach. To treat your hair to something extra special, The BLOW has a few add-ons to choose from, such as a salt scrub scalp massage and hair treatments. If you’re short on time, opt for speedy dry styling.

Blowout Bar

Blowout Bar is Melbourne’s original blow-dry bar and remains one of the best, with a shiny salon in Toorak and another in Brighton for the bayside girlies. These salons cater to just about every hair whim, from their signature bouncy blowouts and express styling on dry hair to Keratin treatments and colour refreshes. Oh, and it’s also licensed, so you can enjoy a glass of bubbly while tending to your tresses. Go on, then…

With signature blow waves from just $45, it’s true what they say — good hair days start with Harpo.

Edwards and Co.

Effortlessly stylish and elevated, Edwards and Co. is one of Australia’s hottest hair salons. With two locations in Melbourne, the talented stylists are always on point when it comes to taming your mane.

Fitzroy & Prahran

Oscar Charlie

Oscar Charlie is a go-to blow-dry bar for shiny, voluminous locks and dreamy styling. They even offer blow-dry bundles, where you can purchase five blow-dries and get your sixth one free. Premium quality products form the foundation of their stunning results, to ensure your hair is at its healthiest and shiniest, and that your blowout actually lasts.

UVA Salon

If you’re after experience, UVA Salon has it in spades. Working on the likes of Jen Hawkins, Bec Judd and Nadia Bartel, Maria Uva knows how to whip up a hairstyle to impress. And, lucky for us, she has opened a salon in Prahan, so we too can enjoy the fruits of her labour. Book in advance, because appointments are hard to come by with a rep like this.
