A great blow dry is about more than heat and a brush. At HairNova Angel every blow dry begins with a quick consultation and a professional wash, then your stylist shapes the finish to suit your hair type – whether that is a smooth, glossy wash and blow dry, defined bouncy curls, an elegant occasion updo, or a long-lasting keratin blow dry that keeps frizz away for weeks. Just 2 minutes from King’s Cross and moments from Angel, we are where Islington locals return to for camera-ready hair.
Pair your blow dry with a fresh balayage for sun-kissed tones that catch the light with every bounce, or add it to a haircut for a complete refresh.
