Best Blow Dries near me in Smethwick, Birmingham

I've followed Anthony around Birmingham as he's moved salons over the past few years and I'm delighted to see him in his own place in the Jewellery Quarter. A fabulous haircut, as always, and a great natter, as always.

This was my first time coming to Pickles and Co and everything was amazing! initially came in for an extension consultation which Simone helped out with a lot by explaining the different types of extensions as well as finding the perfect shade that would blend into my hair. She gave me a whole breakdown of the pricing and which would be best for my specific hair type. then had a cut and finish which brought my hair back to life!!!! It felt so dead and dull before, but once Simone cut and styled it, I feel like a whole new person. I’m so incredibly happy and I will definitely be coming back! <3

I booked with Lera for a wash, cut and blowdry, supervised by senior stylist Demi. I was delighted with my hair at the end of the appointment - it was exactly what I wanted. The customer service was excellent and Lera was super friendly and made me feel at ease very quickly. Especially as Lera is an older apprentice, this felt like an absolute bargain and I’ll definitely be back! 100% would recommend.

Alex is a brilliant stylist. I highly recommend him to anyone that wants to take the stress out of following their hair hopes and dreams! I’ve had Alex looking after my hair for nearly 25 years. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a cut and now travel from where I live in Wales. Alex listens. He cares about your life-style and how much time you want to spend creating your look. He considers your hair type, has the skills to provide guidance - and the ability to make it happen. His passion for hairdressing shines through he’s a true professional.

Very professional, as always, but in a comfortable way. Lovely coffee and does exactly what I want each and every time without doing something which wouldnt suit me, work for my hair. Ant is clearly experienced in this field and the salon is lovely, everyone is welcoming and its an easy location to park at considering its central birmingham. I travel from Tamworth and its always such an easy route. I also have very thick hair and normally takes hours to highlight/dry but Ant has been doing this a while which means he has the ability to be swift without cutting corners. Recommend to anyone.

Amazing as always! Alex definitely is Birminghams finest stylist!

I recently booked a haircut, wash, dry, and blow-dry along with a HydraFacial for my wife. She was extremely satisfied with the service provided by Neelam, who was both professional and attentive throughout. The staff were very welcoming and created a pleasant atmosphere from start to finish. Although we travelled from Shrewsbury, it was absolutely worth the drive to Birmingham. Highly recommended for their excellent service and warm hospitality.

A perfect haircut in a very relaxing salon. Thank you to Anthony for today. The best independent salon in birmingham

Thanks for looking after the whole family. A lovely visit to birmingham to see ant and the team at stori

Love my colour and new haircut by ant. Listens and offers his expertise every visit. He is confident in what he does and I love my hair every time. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and I don’t live in birmingham any more. Worth the visit to see ant and the lovely salon.

This was my first time having my hair done with Jessi, but it was such a lovely experience. She, and everyone else in the salon, made me feel welcome and comfortable. Jessi listened to what I wanted to do with my hair, and styled it lovely. I left there feeling so confident and beautiful with my hair! Thank you so much, I would definitely recommend to anyone else 💗

Faith understood the assignment. Awful hair condition treated and styled. Advice given throughout as I had no clue what to do with my hair.

Excellent blowdry

Hannah took great care to understand what I wanted my hair to be like. As always, she worked with great precision and made me feel welcome in the new studio. I'm super happy with my freshly cut and styled hair and can never recommend Hannah enough!

To be styled by a top international stylist is amazing but for Alex to listen to you and understand what you want when I was feeling anxious about a restyle and change I am very grateful for. I can see he absolutely loves what he does. Thank you Alex, I feel great

Superb blowdry

Brilliant blowdry as always

Very professional

First time having a hair cut by Harps. She was friendly and paid great attention to detail. She really took care in the whole process, from a lovely head massage whilst washing, to checking with me throughout the cut to ensure I was happy and explaining what she was doing. Having been to another hair dresser for the last couple of years who had me washed, cut and blow dried in 20 minutes, it was lovely to have a longer appointment where it really felt Harps was invested in what she was doing. Thank you so much!

great experience, lovely studio environment and always a brilliant haircut - strongly recommended, wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I always have an amazing experience with Jessica and I’m always happy with the results of my hair!

Absolutely loved my nails! She did such an amazing job — she was so friendly, professional, and paid attention to every little detail. I’m honestly so happy with the result and have gotten so many compliments already. Highly recommend! 💅✨

Beautiful nails that last. Would recommend without hesitation.

Felt so welcomed

My over all experience was excellent, was well looked after, my highlights came out perfectly loving it, like to thank the lady who did my hair 🥰

Jessi is very professional and friendly! I loved the hairstyle I got from her!
