Blow Dry Bars in Edinburgh: Why Sobo is the Go-To for a Bouncy Finish
There’s something magical about a fresh blow dry – the shine, the volume, the way it makes you feel like you can take on the world. Whether it’s for a night out, an event, or just a midweek boost, blow dries are no longer just a finishing touch – they’re a form of self-care.
If you’re looking for a blow dry bar in Edinburgh that goes beyond the basics, Sobo Hair Boutique in Trinity offers something truly special. As a full-service hair salon in Edinburgh, we combine expert styling with holistic wellbeing to leave you feeling confident, relaxed, and truly cared for.
What is a Blow-Dry Service – and How Does It Fit into Sobo?
While traditional blow-dry bars often focus solely on quick styling, at Sobo we take things a step further. Our blow-dry services are part of a broader, more personalised salon experience – delivered by a team of expert stylists who understand your hair type, texture, and goals.
Whether you’re dreaming of soft curls, sleek shine, or big bouncy volume, your hair is in experienced hands. Every blow-dry is customised to your style, using professional techniques and salon-quality products to achieve a look that lasts.
Think of it as effortless glamour – delivered with Sobo’s signature warmth and care.
Why Choose a Professional Blow Dry?
Sure, you can reach for the hairdryer at home – but a professional blow-dry is in a league of its own. Here’s why:
- Longer-lasting results – With the right technique, your style can hold for days.
- Healthier hair – We use heat protection and styling products designed to protect and nourish.
- Time-saving – You walk out ready to go, with zero effort on your part.

FAQs
Is Sobo a blow-dry bar or a full-service salon?
We’re a full-service salon offering everything from expert blow dries and haircuts to advanced colour and treatments. Our blow-dry services are just one part of what we do.
How long will my blow dry last?
You can expect your hair to look fresh and styled all day long. With a little care – like sleeping on a silk pillowcase, avoiding humidity, and using dry shampoo – your blow dry can easily last up to three days, sometimes even longer depending on your hair type.
What’s the difference between a regular blow dry and a bouncy blow dry?
A bouncy blow dry is all about volume, movement and hold – perfect if you want big, full-bodied hair that turns heads. A regular blow dry gives a smoother, more classic finish.
Can I book a blow dry with a treatment?
Absolutely. Pairing your blow dry with a Kérastase treatment can enhance your hair’s condition and leave it feeling even more luxurious.
Do I need to wash my hair before I come in?
No need – we’ll take care of that for you during your appointment. A salon cleanse helps us get the perfect base for styling.
