Big event coming up but no time for a lengthy blow-dry? Stylist has the lowdown on the express treatments that take 30 minutes or less.
Whiling away an afternoon at the hair salon has become a luxury for the time-poor – but you no longer have to sacrifice that professional touch in favour of prepping your board presentation. Catering to hectic schedules, these new in-salon services can switch up your colour, create on-trend plaits or deliver a blow-dry in just half of your lunch hour.
Forget waiting weeks for an appointment or dashing out of work in a mad panic to get to the salon: instead, try a Stylist beauty team-approved express treatment, that’ll take as little as 20 minutes out of your day.
