Blow Waves
💨 Smooth. Polished. Made to Last.
Everyday glamour, Cairns-style — humidity-resistant blow waves tailored to your lifestyle.
Whether you're heading to work, brunch on the Esplanade, or a casual night out, our expert blow waves are built to hold their shape, fight the frizz, and keep you looking polished — no matter the forecast. Choose your length, customise your finish, and let us handle the rest. Blow waves are included in the price of all cutting services.
A blow wave is a temporary style created by heat and airflow that relies on moisture-sensitive bonds.
Your blow wave can look polished in the salon, then drop or frizz up fast once you step back into Cairns humidity.
Moisture resets the temporary bonds that hold a blow wave shape—so even good technique can’t “out-style” humidity for long.

🧠 Styling Technique Awareness
Not all blow waves are the same — and that’s the magic. Our stylists use different methods to create volume, smoothness, or definition. If you have a finish in mind — such as sleek, soft waves, or round-brush bounce — feel free to include it in your booking notes.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to book by length?
Yes — this ensures we allocate the right time for your hair type and goals. Not sure? Choose “Wash & Blow Wave” and we’ll adjust in-salon.
Can I book the Hot Tool Add-On by itself?
No — it’s only available as an upgrade to a blow wave.
Why is there an extension surcharge?
Extensions require more time and care to finish safely. This ensures we protect your hair and investment.
Can I walk in for a blow wave?
Absolutely — though we recommend booking ahead for longer hair or add-ons to avoid wait times.
