Cut and Blowdry (Thick/Long Hair)

From £76
From 60 mins

Thick and long hair needs a bit more time and care to cut and style well. This service is built for exactly that, pairing a personalised haircut with a thorough, section-by-section blow-dry to leave hair smooth, healthy-looking and easy to manage. It's a good fit if you're after a fresh shape along with a proper salon finish, rather than just a trim.

More information

What's Included

A typical appointment follows a clear structure:

  • Consultation to agree on length, shape and desired finish
  • Wash and condition to prepare the hair
  • Cut, tailored to your hair's thickness and length
  • Blow-dry styling, worked through in sections with heat protection to help minimise damage

Because thick or long hair takes longer to dry evenly, stylists at Timba use controlled heat and airflow, working methodically through smaller sections rather than rushing the whole head at once.

Timing and What to Expect

Appointments for this service typically run 45 to 75 minutes, depending on how much hair there is to cut and style. Very thick or very long hair naturally takes longer than finer or shorter styles, so your stylist will let you know roughly what to expect during your consultation.

The end result is a polished, salon-quality finish, whether that's smooth and sleek, soft and bouncy, or textured with volume, depending on what you ask for.

Who It Suits

This service is designed for anyone with thick or long hair who wants both a cut and a full styling finish in one visit. It's a popular choice for clients across Cardiff looking to combine a shape update with the smoothness and manageability that comes from a proper blow-dry, rather than booking a cut and dry separately.

Timba's team, including senior stylists like Katie Williams, Emma Stokes and Hannah James, alongside stylists such as Lucy Osborne, Evie Collins and Chloe Phillips, are on hand to tailor the cut and finish to your hair type.

Aftercare

To help keep the results looking their best between visits:

  • Use a shampoo and conditioner suited to thick or long hair
  • Keep hair well-moisturised to reduce tangling
  • Detangle gently, starting from the ends
  • Consider heat protection at home if you blow-dry regularly

Is heat protection used during the blow-dry?
Yes, heat protection is commonly applied before blow-drying to help reduce heat damage, especially important for thick or long hair.
Will my hair take longer to dry because it's thick?
