The new Permanent Blow Dry ‘Express’ is now available at McIntyres Dundee,Scotland and is based on the successful Keratin Smoothing system known as the ‘Permanent Blow Dry’ or ‘Style Saviour’ and straightens the hair in a completely organic process . The difference is really based on the time application and therefore the Permanent Blow Dry Express is ideal for those who wish to try this service where it can be done in just over an hour with pricing starting from just £79 whereas for those already familiar know that the Permanent Blow Dry is a three hour salon treatment priced from £150 and depends on application time hair type and length. McIntyres are the first Salon in Scotland to offer the Permanent Blow Dry Express and although we have had much experience with the more enhanced ‘Permanent Blow dry’ we are very familiar with the do’s and dont’s and very excited about its potential especially with the clients who already know the results and who can top up more easily. Hair straightening is something of a phenomenon in recent years we have seen the impact ghd has had selling millions of Hair stylers that reduced styling time claiming to have created a new religion for hair. The next evolution to the ghd styler for certain hair types that wish to have a treatment that results in a lower maintenance is the Permanent Blow Dry.

There were celebrations last night as Dundee Hairdresser Kay McIntyre was awarded the title ‘Scottish Hairdresser of the Year 2010’ at the prestigious British Hairdressing Awards

McIntyres hairdressing salons were asked by Dundee Football Club’s players wife’s and girlfriends to help style the hair and make-up for a special limited edition calendar promotion to help finances as the football club desperately tries to keep going under administration. Having been docked 25 points and burdened with debt the entire city is behind Dundee to stay in business and to survive.
