Four Signature Styles for Every Length
Smooth
Sleek, glossy, and effortlessly refined. Our Smooth blow dry channels the timeless ’90s straight style, updated with a soft curve at the ends for a polished, modern finish. It’s understated, elegant, and works beautifully for any occasion.
• Recommended for: Clients who love a clean, sleek look with subtle salon-premium movement
• Hair Lengths:
• Short: Sleek silhouette with soft contouring
• Medium: Straight finish with a high-shine effect
• Long: Smooth and flowing with gentle shape through the ends
Pro Tip: The Wella Ultimate Smooth Miracle Oil Serum is your secret to keeping that smooth just-blow-dried finish, frizz-free and glossy!
Beach Wave
Effortless, soft, and full of movement, this style mimics the look of natural beach waves with a little extra polish. Ideal for warmer days, low-key events, or anytime you want that beautiful, undone finish.
• Recommended for: Clients who love soft volume and texture
• Hair Lengths:
• Short: Light, natural movement
• Medium: Soft, tousled waves
• Long: Loose waves with an undone, polished feel
Pro Tip: For day-two hair that still feels fresh, mist Shop Color Wow Style on Steroids through mid-lengths and ends. It revives waves with lightweight volume, texture and hold, no stiffness, no stickiness. Use your fingers to reshape and refresh the look in seconds.

Glam Wave
For black-tie occasions or timeless wedding looks, Glam Wave creates sculpted waves that hold shape and shine. This look holds its structure from day to night, keeping your hair looking styled, balanced, and effortlessly elegant.
• Recommended for: Weddings, high-profile events
• Hair Lengths:
• Short: Glossed structure with vintage curvature
• Medium: Smooth ripples with balanced symmetry
• Long: Defined, deep waves that catch the light
Pro Tip: To make your glam wave blow dry last even longer, sleep with your hair loosely wrapped in a silk or satin scarf, or use a silk pillowcase. This reduces friction, helps maintain the shape of your waves, and keeps your hair smooth and frizz-free overnight.
Big & Bouncy
Turn up the volume with our Big & Bouncy blow dry; full of body and movement from root to tip. Think deep supermodel side partings and beautiful bouncy movement that lasts right through the evening.
• Recommended for: Clients who love movement and impact
• Hair Lengths:
• Short: Maximum lift with shape
• Medium: Full bounce and swing
• Long: Weightless volume with soft edges
Pro Tip: On day two or three, use Olaplex 4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo at the roots, even if your hair doesn’t feel oily. It adds gentle lift, texture and grip without weighing hair down or leaving residue. Massage in with your fingertips to refresh the bounce and body of your blow dry in seconds.
