I had Sazz as my stylist and I asked for a recommendation on what would be good given that I don't usually do anything to my hair except wash and dry. Her recommendation was very good and gave me advice on why the hair style works best for me. I would highly recommend her and will definitely go back in the future.

I love my luxurious treatments at M Prive salon!!! If you want a full review from me, please look at Google reviews !!! This salon is life changing, I have seen Arina for a keratin treatment and Rebecca for a caviar treatment and Tio for a blow out !! Wow I must say, my hair is healthier, shinier and I just feel so good every time I leave this salon. I have had so many bad experiences and this salon has been my holy grail ! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you for everything

I highly recommend Forme Salon and in particular my stylist Takumi. I go there monthly for a trim and often more frequently for a wash and blow dry. This is a very professional salon and a treat to go to.

Booked for a blow dry & style today for the first time with Kwee ! I was nervous at first but all I have to say is amazing! She is very friendly, detailed and listened to my concerns. My hair is super straight naturally and many stylist take the easy option to use a curling iron. She used a brush to create the natural curls and the results are fabulous! Thank you very much Kwee

It was great, I had a haircut and a conditioning treatment. After being in lockdown for 4 months I was cutting my own hair and it was starting to look dry and very dead, I walked in with a disaster and walked out with a beautiful result! I highly recommend this place!

Courteous staff, pleasant and very efficient service. My hairstylist was Josh who delivered a lovely neck and shoulders massage, wash and blowout of my shoulder-length, thick, frizz-prone hair. Well-priced too. An A+

Great service! The location is super clean and classy and located in Gastown. I went in for just a full colour but ended up getting some partial highlights and a cut as well, it turned out perfect and would highly recommend. The owner was very welcoming and helpful as well, I will definitely be returning.

First time in this salon - arrived with a cut and color both badly in need of a fix. Tio is an artisan, did a fabulous job, executing a color and cut far more flattering for my face and skin, and was a joy to be with. Much enjoyed the salon itself as well — it’s a lovely, fresh clean, spacious, brick walled loft, super conveniently located in Gastown.

Blow Dry FAQs
A blow dry is a hair drying method that uses a handheld hair dryer to accelerate water evaporation from the wet strands of your hair’s surface. It’s often used to style hair. You can blow dry your hair at home, but nothing quite beats a professional salon blow dry.
Wait until your hair is at least 80% dry before you start blow drying it, and prep it first with a heat protectant. Use a volumising heat protectant if your hair is fine, a smoothing one if your hair’s prone to frizzing, and a leave-in conditioner if your hair is curly. You should also untangle any knots and section off your hair with clips before you begin your blow dry.
We wouldn’t recommend it. Heat is damaging to hair, so daily use of a heated styling tool like a hair dryer is likely to strip your hair’s natural oils, dry the cuticle and cause frizz and breakage.
Cost depends on the salon you choose and your stylist's level of experience, but in Gastown you're likely to pay between $20 and $150.
The time it takes to blow dry hair depends on its length, type, texture and the style you want to achieve. If you have short hair, it can be blow-dried in about 5-10 minutes; longer hair takes around 15-30 minutes.
Ideally. Unless your stylist is doing it for you. Oily hair can flatten hair, so it’s best to have a blow dry after your hair’s been freshly washed.
