Whether you’re heading somewhere special, treating yourself during a Queenstown stay, or simply want to walk into the week feeling polished — a blow dry at Iron + Ivy is one of the simplest luxuries we offer, and one our clients come back for again and again.

The Wash

Every blow dry at Iron + Ivy begins at the backwash. You’ll be settled into one of our deep, reclining wash basins and we’ll get started with Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo — the kind of lather that actually smells as good as it feels. Your hair is shampooed twice: first to cleanse, then to truly nourish.

Next comes Moroccanoil Hydrating Conditioner, worked through mid-lengths and ends and left to absorb properly. Then comes the part most of our clients say they look forward to most: a warm towel wrapped around your hair, and a proper scalp and neck massage. Not a quick rub — a real, unhurried head massage that sends most people half-asleep before they’ve made it to the styling chair.

The Blow Dry

Once you’re in the chair, your stylist will take a moment to talk through the finish you’re after. Sleek and smooth? Big and bouncy with set? Natural and effortless? Every blow dry at Iron + Ivy is tailored to your hair’s texture, weight, and what you’ve got on after you leave us. We use professional Moroccanoil styling products throughout, finishing with Moroccanoil Treatment oil for that signature gloss.

If you’d like maximum volume and hold, ask about our Big Bouncy Blow Dry with Set — our stylists use rollers and advanced technique to create a full-bodied result that lasts well beyond the salon.

Fancy a Treatment Alongside?

A blow dry appointment is the perfect time to add something restorative. Our most popular addition is the Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask — applied at the backwash before your blow dry and left to penetrate during your head massage. You’ll feel the difference the moment your hair dries: softer, shinier, and noticeably more manageable.

If your hair has been through bleach, colour, or heat damage, we also offer an Olaplex Bonding Treatment add-on — the most effective bond-repair system available, and one that pairs beautifully with any blow dry.

What You Leave With

You leave with great hair — that’s the starting point. But you also leave with a product recommendation from your stylist, and a prompt for your next visit. No consultation required. No fuss. Just walk in, sit down, and let us take it from here.
