During times of stress, even small rituals can have a big impact on our wellbeing – and a professional blow dry might be one of the most underrated mood-boosters around.

According to a recent client survey by salon group Headmasters, over 60 per cent said hair appointments felt “essential,” while 42 per cent viewed their visit as a time to relax and recharge. It’s a clear reminder: great hair isn’t a luxury – it’s a form of self-care.

Headmasters also has a limited-time Scalp Reset Blow Dry package now available at selected salons – a wellness-meets-beauty treatment that offers visible results in under 45 minutes. Costing £55 and available until 30 September, it’s a grounding, refreshing ritual that fits beautifully into a summer wellness routine – especially for anyone trying to reset their scalp health without downtime or high effort. Designed for clients experiencing product overload, dullness or stress-related scalp concerns, this treatment combines: 1) Nioxin Dermabrasion – a detoxifying exfoliation facial for the scalp; 2) Nioscope scalp diagnostics – to personalise the experience and treat from the root (selected salons); 3) A professional blow dry for the perfect finish.

Headmasters’ mood-boosting menu

This year, Headmasters launched a new Blow Dry Menu designed to offer more than just style. “Sometimes it’s the small things that make the biggest difference,” says Creative Ambassador Clare Hansford. “We see every day how a blow dry can lift your mood and boost confidence – it’s not just about how you look, it’s how you feel.”

In fact, 44 per cent of Headmasters clients said that when their hair looks good, they feel better. With the addition of the signature Headmasters shampoo massage and optional hair treatments, each appointment becomes a mini-reset – an accessible wellbeing ritual you can fit into your week.

A fresh start

The new Blow Dry Menu features a variety of looks tailored to your hair type, lifestyle or mood. Whether you’re after effortless bounce, sleek shine or a complete change of pace, your stylist will do the heavy lifting – leaving you with salon-perfect hair that lasts longer and feels like a fresh start.

With prices from £40 and standby appointments available from £35, it’s a small investment with a big emotional return.

Because life really does feel better with great hair.
