Good local salon and the hairdresser did a nice blow dry which lasted several days. It wasn't a five star experience - no head massage and not even offered a coffee - but it was a perfectly good blow dry.
The salon was so clean, the staff were very friendly and attentive. My hair turned out better than I ever could have expected. She did exactly as I asked and told me all about the offers they have. I would definitely go again!
I have to admit when I booked this I was expecting lines of older women under blowdryers being offered cups of tea. However when I arrived I was taken aback by the pristine condition, sparkling white with beautiful chairs and the most amazing chandelier I have seen in a while. It's small so it makes it that much more personal. Its about a 10 second walk from West Finchley station. The only drawback is if your legs refuse to do what your brain tells them as there is a rather steep step to get in. so maybe troublesome for people with disabilities and definately impossible for people in wheelchairs.
