Luxury Blow Dry in Brighton | Bouncy Blow Dries & 90s Supermodel Hair

There’s a certain feeling that comes with a really good blow dry.

It’s not just about smooth hair or extra volume — it’s the way your hair moves when you walk, the way it holds shape without feeling stiff, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing you look put together without trying too hard.

Why a Professional Blow Dry Changes Everything

At House of Kingshott Hair Studio near Preston Park in Brighton, our blow dry appointments are designed to create exactly that feeling.

Whether you’re preparing for an event, a night out in Brighton, a wedding guest look, or simply want your hair to feel its absolute best, we specialise in polished, soft, long-lasting blow dries tailored to your hair type and personal style.

From bouncy, full-bodied finishes to sleek, expensive-looking smoothness or that effortless 90s supermodel volume, every blow dry is completely customised.

We welcome clients from Brighton, Hove, Fiveways and across Sussex who want their hair to feel elevated, glossy and effortlessly styled.

With over 13 years of professional hairdressing experience, Reid Kingshott has developed a deep understanding of how different hair types respond to heat, tension and styling techniques.

Working with a wide range of hair textures, lengths and conditions, Reid approaches every blow dry with the same attention to detail — understanding that beautiful styling is not just about creating volume or shine, but about creating a finish that works with your individual hair.

From building lift and movement in finer hair to controlling thicker textures and enhancing natural shape, every House of Kingshott blow dry is created through real salon experience and a passion for making hair look and feel its absolute best.

Most people think a blow dry is just “styling the hair.”

In reality, it’s one of the most technical services in the salon.

A great blow dry isn’t just about drying hair — it’s about controlling movement, shaping the cut, enhancing shine and understanding how each section of hair behaves under tension, heat and direction.

This is why at-home results rarely feel the same as a salon finish.

Common concerns we hear include:

“My blow dry never lasts.”
“My hair goes flat within an hour.”
“It looks nice in the salon but I can’t recreate it.”

The difference usually comes down to technique, product layering and section control — all of which are completely personalised in salon.

What a Great Blow Dry Can Do

  • Add lasting volume and lift

  • Create smooth, glossy finishes without heaviness

  • Enhance natural movement and shape

  • Control frizz and humidity response

  • Make hair feel cleaner, healthier and more styled

  • Elevate your overall look instantly

A blow dry is often the fastest way to completely transform your appearance without changing your cut or colour.

Our Blow Dry Styles

Every client’s hair and preference is different, so we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all finish.

Instead, we tailor your blow dry depending on your hair type, lifestyle and the look you want to achieve.

Bouncy Blow Dry

Full, soft and polished with movement throughout the hair.

This is one of our most requested styles, perfect for:

  • Events

  • Date nights

  • Weekends in Brighton

  • Clients who love volume and glamour

It’s structured but still soft, with a finish that moves naturally.

90s Supermodel Blow Dry

Big, voluminous, glossy hair with that iconic lifted root and flicked-out movement.

Think effortless luxury — hair that looks expensive without feeling over-styled.

Perfect for clients who want:

  • Maximum volume

  • A fashion-forward finish

  • A confident, statement look

Sleek & Polished Blow Dry

Smooth, glossy and refined.

This finish is all about shine, control and elegance — ideal for professional settings, special occasions or clients who prefer a more minimal aesthetic.

Soft Everyday Blow Dry

A natural, wearable version of salon styling designed to last several days and grow out beautifully.

This is perfect for clients who want to feel “done” without looking overly styled.

What To Expect At Your Appointment

The consultation is an important part of creating a successful blow dry. Before choosing products or techniques, we consider how your hair naturally behaves, how much maintenance you want at home and how you want the finished style to make you feel.

A luxury blow dry should feel relaxing, not rushed.

Your appointment begins with a brief consultation where we assess your hair type, condition and the style you want to achieve.

We then select professional products specifically suited to your hair — whether that’s for volume, smoothing, hydration or hold.

During styling, we work in controlled sections to ensure longevity, shape and movement. Every detail matters, from root lift direction to brush tension and finishing placement.

Once complete, we refine the look so it feels soft, touchable and wearable rather than overly “set.”

We also share simple tips so you can extend the life of your blow dry at home.

The House of Kingshott Blow Dry Approach

Our approach is rooted in understanding how hair behaves once it leaves the chair.

We don’t just style hair to look good for ten minutes — we think about how it will hold throughout the day, how it moves, and how it grows out over the next few days.

We also understand that no two heads of hair are the same. Fine hair needs lift and support. Thick hair needs control and balance. Wavy hair needs refinement without losing movement.

The result is always a blow dry that feels like you — just elevated.

Clients often tell us their hair feels “lighter, shinier and easier to manage” after a visit, which is exactly what we aim for.

Located near Preston Park, we’re proud to welcome clients from across Brighton, Fiveways, Hove and Sussex looking for consistently beautiful blow dries they can rely on.

Years of working behind the chair have shown us that the best results come from understanding the individual, not just the hairstyle. A luxury blow dry should complement your features, lifestyle and natural hair movement while still giving you that feeling of leaving the salon with something special.
